How Are Observability Services Billed?
Free Scenarios
Monitoring Center is free. All metrics used by Monitoring Center are reported and stored in AOM. In AOM, basic metrics are free and stored for 15 days (cannot be modified currently). For details, see Basic Metrics.
Logging is free. All logs generated for a cluster are reported to and stored in LTS. LTS offers a free quota of 500 MB per month for log read/write, indexing, and retention.
Alarm Center is free. Cluster alarm notifications are sent by SMN. SMN offers a free quota of 100 SMS messages per month and 1,000 emails per month. For details about how to calculate the number of SMS messages, see SMS Length Calculation.
Billed Scenarios
Monitoring Center: Custom metrics configured for a cluster are billed based on the AOM billing rules. For details, see AOM Billing Items.
Logging: When the free quota is used up, you will be billed for excess usage. For details, see LTS Billing.
Alarm Center: When the free quota is used up, you will be billed for excess usage. For details, see SMN Billing.
Why Am I Still Being Billed after Logging is Disabled?
You will be billed for Logging through LTS. If you disable Logging, you will not be billed for log read/write and indexing. However, log retention will still incur expenditures. For example, if you change the log retention period to one day, you will not be billed for storage until that day has elapsed. For details, see How Logging Is Billed?
To change the log retention period, log in to the LTS console, locate the log group (named after the cluster ID) of the cluster, and click Modify in the Operation column to change the log retention period.
