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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Logs ingested, 30-day retention | Logs - 30-day retention · per gb-ingested · on-demand | log_gb | ||
| Traces ingested, 30-day retention | Traces - 30-day retention · per gb-ingested · on-demand | span_gb | ||
| Metric samples, 13-month retention | Metrics - 13-month retention · per million-metric-samples · on-demand | metric_samples_million |
Platform minimum: 49 a month replaces a smaller usage total.
