After moving to DPS, How to break down DPS metric consumption by extension?

[Yos_Neu-Poalim]

Hi guys,

In the classic licensing model, we used the DDU consumption menu to easily understand how much licensing volume

each extension was costing us.

Since moving to DPS, this menu has disappeared.

We tried using the following metric to get a breakdown:
builtin:billing.custom_metrics_classic.usage.other_by_entity:splitBy("dt.entity.monitored_entity")

However, the monitored_entity dimension simply displays the global environment name rather than splitting the usage by individual extension names.

Next, we tried using this raw metric:
builtin:billing.custom_metrics_classic.raw.usage_by_metric_key:splitBy("metric_key")

While this gives us the individual metric keys, the classic query engine in Dynatrace Managed does not provide a way to manipulate strings or group the data. We cannot find a way to sum the data points by their metric prefix (e.g., ibmmq.*, kafka_*, remote.*, db2.*) to see the total consumption per extension.

Has anyone found a way to nativey display or chart this information within the Managed UI without exporting the data externally?

Thanks in advance for your insight

Hi,

It has a direct relation to how many data point are being ingested. Maybe you can check this DQL query:

fetch metric.series
| filter matchesPhrase(metric.key, "XXXX")
| summarize count = count(), by:{metric.key}
| sort count desc

Filter is optional, it is just in case you want to filter by "extension".

Best regards

Hi @AntonPineiro 

Unfortunately this is still a Managed environment without DQL capability to query the data.

Thanks
