Collecting Statistics on LTS Expenses of Different Departments Based on Log Stream Tags

To collect statistics on the expenses of different departments in an enterprise on LTS, you can add tags to LTS log streams to identify different service departments. LTS will add these tags when uploading CDRs to the billing center. You can download LTS billing information from Billing > Bills > Bill Details. Then, you can collect statistics on expenses of different departments based on resource tags, providing a basis for expense allocation of the enterprise.
