Our verdict on Dynatrace Continuous CPU Profiling

Dynatrace Continuous CPU Profiling continuously samples application execution to identify CPU-intensive code and method-level hotspots in production. It is designed for development, platform, and operations teams investigating resource-intensive applications, particularly teams already using Dynatrace OneAgent. The feature runs within Dynatrace’s web-based application observability platform and supports Java, .NET, Node.js, and Go applications across web, Windows, and Linux environments.

Pricing is presented through the Full-Stack Monitoring plan rather than as a separately priced profiling product. According to the published plan, Full-Stack Monitoring costs $58 per 8 GiB host per month, billed monthly, and includes code-level profiling, application and infrastructure observability, distributed tracing, Kubernetes Platform Monitoring, and OpenTelemetry metrics and traces. There is no free plan, while a 15-day free trial is available. Actual pricing depends on Dynatrace Platform Subscription consumption and contract terms, so the listed rate is best understood as the public plan price rather than a standalone profiling license.

The profiling feature’s main strength is its range of diagnostic views: continuous CPU sampling, method-level CPU hotspot analysis, thread analysis, memory allocation profiling, and historical profiling context. Dynatrace also places these capabilities alongside OneAgent-based monitoring and distributed tracing, which can help teams connect code behavior with broader application observations. Teams that want profiling within a wider observability platform should consider it; organizations seeking only a narrowly focused profiler may find the Full-Stack Monitoring scope and subscription model less suitable.
