Metrics
In Dynatrace, you have various types of metrics at your disposal:
- Built-in metrics provided by OneAgent. These have the
builtin:
prefix in the metric key. - Extension metrics provided by OneAgent or ActiveGate extensions. These have the
ext:
prefix in the metric key. - Calculated metrics you create. These have the
calc:
prefix in the metric key. - Custom metrics you can feed to Dynatrace via metric ingestion. These don't have any fixed prefix, as the ingestion protocol is completely flexible.
