Host generating traces
Definition
Pricing page FAQ: "A billable APM host is a host that is actively generating traces that are submitted to the Datadog SaaS application, including, but not limited to, an OpenTelemetry Collector."
Counting rules
Hosts running uninstrumented services do not count even if APM is enabled on them. On the high watermark plan the hourly measurements are ordered and Datadog charges on the ninth highest (eighth in February); on the hybrid monthly/hourly plan host hours above the monthly commitment are billed hourly. The number of containers on a host does not change the APM host price.
