Can I limit quotas of host units by management zone?

[AskMe-Solutions]

Hi Everyone,

Can Dynatrace limit quotas of HUs by management zone? for all I know the Dynatrace can limit quotas by environment.

Quotas for HU are only possible per Environment not on a Management Zone level.

Hi @AskMe-Solutions team,

As @pahofmann mentioned you would not be able to set a quota limit for host units at the management level. If you would like to capture that information and as a workaround push an event to trigger a problem when such limits are reached per management zone, you can meet those requirements.

What I mean is to use the following API and filter per management zone:
https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/dynatrace-api/environment-api/topology-and-smartscape/hosts-a...

Later calculate the sum of all the "consumedHostUnits" and with a simple condition function, trigger the following API to push the events to either all/selective main entities in the management zone to open a problem with some context like - 'Management Zone Host Unit Quota reached'
https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/dynatrace-api/environment-api/events-v2/post-event#definition...

Like this, you can automate the requirement and let the script run on a regular interval to monitor the limit as per your need.

Kind regards,
Abhi

Hi @AskMe-Solutions 

Not possible at this time.

You can visualize the consumption..., but no limitation possible.

I opened before an RFE for this need exactly, you can vote here
