Definition
Metrics pricing documentation: DPM "is the number of data points sent to Grafana Cloud Metrics per minute per series, calculated per stack."
Counting rules
A 15-second scrape interval produces 4 data points per series per minute, a 60-second interval 1. Pro includes 1 DPM per active series; contracted plans can choose 1 or 4 DPM resolution. If average DPM per series exceeds the included DPM, billing uses total DPM instead of active series.
