DEM units consumption

[service_apms]

Hello All,

I hope you are all doing fine and safe.

I have a bit of a question, we want to start monitoring our DEM units consumption per application on a dashboard but i still can't fin a way to do it.

i wanted to extract the number of user sessions and divide it by 4 to get the number but i can't find a way to do it per application.

Does anyone have an idea how can i get a dashboard like this.

I'm also open to any suggestions about monitoring DEM units consumption feel free to share what you did in this case if you want.

Thank you

Hello!

This can be accomplished through creating a custom chart with the "billing category". Then we would pin that custom chart to a dashboard.

You will notice "billed" vs "unbilled". This is explained in the following post around bounce rates and actual sessions collected.

Thank you so much that was really helpful
So to get the DEM units consumption i should divide the number of billed sessions by 4
is there any way to get a chart with the DEM units consumption directly because here all i got is the session number

That is correct!

Although the enhanced tracking through the API is on our Dev's Roadmap without an estimated ETA

I apologize for the inconvenience.

You can use the billing metrics in the Metrics API v2.
