Metric API POST limit

[TorstenHellwig]

Hi all,

I'm using the metrics api on Dynatrace Managed from a plugin and have to post a quite large number of metrics - like 90K lines on a test env so that's gonna get worse when I go to prod.

Found that there seems to be a limit on the amount of data I can send with a single post. Burt I can't find it in the docs.

Any idea?

cheers,

Torsten
