Nicus Dynatrace Integration
Enrich IT cost models with Dynatrace Smartscape topology and utilization.
Dynatrace Smartscape maps relationships between infrastructure, processes, services, and applications. Nicus uses this topology and real utilization data to improve cost allocation accuracy.
What This Integration Enables
- Infrastructure asset and configuration data from Dynatrace Smartscape
- Hardware and software asset metadata
- Service and application topology mappings
- Resource utilization and performance metrics
- Cloud infrastructure configuration and metadata
- Application dependency and service mapping data
Common Use Cases
- ITFM cost modeling enriched with Dynatrace utilization and performance data
- Service-based cost allocation using Dynatrace application and service mappings
- Infrastructure cost allocation based on actual resource utilization
- TBM tower-based cost modeling supported by Dynatrace topology data
- Cloud infrastructure cost allocation using Dynatrace cloud asset data
Flexible Integration Options
Dynatrace is a full-stack observability and application performance monitoring platform used by large enterprises to monitor infrastructure, applications, and cloud environments. Using its OneAgent instrumentation and Davis AI engine, Dynatrace automatically discovers and maps infrastructure, applications, and services through its Smartscape topology.
Nicus uses infrastructure configuration, utilization, and performance data from Dynatrace — including asset metadata, service and application mappings, and utilization metrics — to support IT Financial Management (ITFM), cost allocation, and service-based financial modeling.
By incorporating Dynatrace data, organizations can enrich ITFM cost models with utilization and performance context, align IT infrastructure costs with services and applications, and support more accurate cost allocation based on actual resource consumption.
FAQs
Does Nicus work with Dynatrace?
Yes. Nicus uses infrastructure configuration, utilization, and service mapping data from Dynatrace to support ITFM and cost allocation.
What Dynatrace data is typically used in Nicus?
Dynatrace data commonly used in Nicus includes infrastructure asset and configuration metadata from Smartscape, service and application topology mappings, resource utilization metrics, and cloud infrastructure configuration data.
How does Dynatrace’s Smartscape support cost allocation in Nicus?
Dynatrace’s Smartscape automatically maps relationships between infrastructure, processes, services, and applications. This topology data can be incorporated into Nicus to support service-based cost allocation — mapping IT costs to the applications and services they support.
