Usage Reporting for APM Metrics
Last updated - 02 March, 2026
You can view the usage data for APM Metrics in a tabbed format that decouples the data for Push Metrics and OpenMetrics. This enables you to view usage patterns separately for Push Metrics or OpenMetrics. By default, the page displays your combined APM Metric usage.
Billing and Usage Calculation for APM Metrics
APM Metrics billing is based on the combined usage of all APM Metrics, including both APM Push Metrics and APM OpenMetrics. While Usage Reporting enables you to view Push Metrics and OpenMetrics separately for analysis purposes, these values are aggregated for billing.
Usage is calculated based on the total number of datapoints ingested during the selected billing period. A datapoint represents a single metric value collected at a point in time. Monthly usage is calculated using the datapoints collected within the selected month.
