Dynatrace introduces cost allocation capabilities for logs, enabling IT teams to attribute log ingestion and retention costs to specific cost centers and products. The feature supports automated cost attribution through source-level annotations or centralized processing via OpenPipeline, allowing organizations to implement chargeback and showback models. Teams can track and report costs using dashboards, notebooks, or the Account Management portal, with support for over 60,000 cost allocation combinations. The solution integrates with existing infrastructure like Kubernetes and OpenTelemetry, providing granular visibility into log spend across business units and applications without disrupting workflows.
