- Definition
- Billing documentation: "A host is any physical or virtual OS instance that you monitor with Datadog. It could be a server, VM, node (in the case of Kubernetes), App Service Plan instance (in the case of Azure App Service), or Heroku dyno (in the case of the Heroku platform)."
- Counting rules
- Metered hourly. On the high watermark plan the billable count is the maximum (high-water mark) of the lower 99 percent of the month's hourly counts, so the top 1 percent of hours is excluded. Hosts with the Agent and VMs discovered by the AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or vSphere integrations both count, but a VM with the Agent that is also discovered by an integration counts once. Hosts with status INACTIVE do not count. An Agent installed inside each container makes each container a host.
- Floors / minimums
- No minimum on the price list; the Free plan covers up to 5 hosts. Commitments are set by Order.
