Dynatrace Infrastructure Monitoring

What Dynatrace Infrastructure Monitoring is

Dynatrace Infrastructure Monitoring monitors infrastructure across Linux, Windows, and web environments. It tracks hosts and processes, filesystems, operating-system services, and performance, with metrics, logs, traces, and events among its telemetry types. The Foundation & Discovery plan costs $7 a month and includes basic host health indicators, topology detection, filesystem monitoring, and OS services monitoring. Infrastructure Monitoring costs $29 a month and adds process, disk, memory, and network analysis plus custom metrics. Full-Stack Monitoring costs $58 a month and adds application performance monitoring, automated root-cause analysis, code-level profiling, and OpenTelemetry metrics and traces. The product also lists synthetic monitoring, distributed tracing, SLO tracking, log search, multiple data ingestion options, and a proprietary query language. A self-hosted option is available. The pricing note lists a 15-day trial, but there is no free plan.

Who it suits

It suits teams that need infrastructure visibility alongside log search, tracing, or SLO tracking. Organizations can choose among infrastructure-focused and full-stack plans, or use the self-hosted option.

Limits

There is no free plan. Foundation & Discovery costs $7 a month, billed monthly, and lists basic host health indicators, host and process topology detection, filesystem monitoring, and OS services monitoring; the listed process, disk, memory, and network analysis and custom metrics begin with Infrastructure Monitoring at $29 a month, billed monthly.
