Overview

Traffic

Log read and write traffic

Includes write traffic and read traffic.

• Write traffic: When the compressed data is uploaded to LTS, the write traffic is billed based on the amount of transmitted data.

  For example, if 5 GB data is uploaded to LTS, 1 GB write traffic (compression rate: 20%) will be generated.

• Read traffic: Read traffic is not counted and is free of charge.

Pay-per-use:

Read and write traffic fee = Write traffic (GB, 20% compression rate) x Unit price per GB

500 MB/month

Log index traffic

Details are as follows:

• By default, full-text indices are created for raw logs. The index traffic is billed based on the index data volume generated by uncompressed logs.
• Index traffic is billed at a time when data is written, i.e., full-text index traffic.
• For a field for which both a full-text index and a field index are constructed, index traffic is billed only once, i.e., full-text index traffic.
• When the full-text index is disabled and only the field index is enabled, fields of long and float types are not counted in the index traffic. The index traffic occupied by each field value is 8 bytes. If the type is string, the log field name (Key) and field value (Value) are stored as the text type, and the field name and value are included in the index traffic. Field indexes can be used to reduce index traffic fees.
  Example:

  1. If an index (string type) is set for the request_uri field and the field value is /request/path, both request_uri and /request/path are counted in the index traffic.
  2. If an index (long type) is set for the status field and the field value is 400, status is not counted in the index traffic. The index traffic of 400 is 8 bytes.
     NOTE:

     This function is now under internal testing by some users. It will be available soon for all users.

Example:

• If 10 GB raw logs are written and the full-text index is enabled, the 10 GB index traffic is billed.
• For example, if 10 GB raw logs are written and the index for two fields is enabled, the data volume is 5 GB, and the 5 GB index traffic is billed.
• If 10 GB raw logs are written and the index for two fields is enabled, the 10 GB index traffic is billed.

Pay-per-use:

Log index fee = Index traffic (GB) x Unit price per GB

Storage

Log volume

Log volume generated when raw logs (backup and compressed logs) and logs are indexed (uncompressed logs).

Example:

If 10 GB raw logs are uploaded and the full-text index is enabled, the log volume of raw logs (backup and compressed logs) and indexed logs is 10 GB.

Pay-per-use:

Log volume fee = Log volume (GB) x Unit price per GB
