How the estimate is built
The standard deployment is priced by these components (methodology). A quantity is a formula over the workload variables; free allowances are subtracted first, and a tier prices only its own band.
| Component | Line item | Quantity | Free | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spans ingested · billed on everything received | Spans - ingestion · per million-spans · on-demand | spans_million | ||
| Spans stored 30 days | Spans - storage (30-day retention) · per million-spans · on-demand; automatic tier discounts above 15B/month | spans_million | ||
| Log records ingested | Log records - ingestion · per million-events · on-demand | log_events_million | ||
| Log records stored 30 days | Log records - storage (30-day retention) · per million-events · on-demand; automatic tier discounts above 15B/month | log_events_million | ||
| Metric data points ingested | Metric data points - ingestion · per million-metric-samples · on-demand | metric_samples_million | ||
| Metric data points stored 13 months | Metric data points - storage (13-month retention) · per million-metric-samples · on-demand; automatic tier discounts above 15B/month | metric_samples_million |
