For billing and reporting purposes, data volume for metrics is measured in Data Points per Minute (DPM). DPM is defined as the average number of metric data points ingested per minute in one thousand increments. The per minute ingest is then averaged for a calendar day to get the average data points per minute for that day. The daily DPM average in one thousand increments is the unit of measure used to track metric ingestion for reporting and licensing within the Sumo Logic Continuous Intelligence Platform.
