Cost Allocation in Azure Container Apps (ACA) — Supported way to set dt.cost.costcenter and dt.cost.product?
We are actively using Dynatrace DPS Cost Allocation for:
- On-prem hosts (OneAgent-managed
- Azure VMs (OneAgent-managed)
- Kubernetes workloads (via pod annotations)
These environments correctly classify usage based on the documented cost tags:
- dt.cost.costcenter
- dt.cost.product
Use case: Azure Container Apps (ACA)
We also monitor several workloads running in Azure Container Apps using the OneAgent deployed inside the container image.
The agent reports data successfully; however:
- These ACA OneAgents cannot be managed via Deployment Status (expected for PaaS container environments).
- Therefore, we cannot set host tags (dt.cost.*) via UI or OneAgent configuration.
- We would like these ACA workloads to participate in DPS Cost Allocation the same way our VMs and on-prem systems do.
Is applying cost allocation supported for ACA?
