---|---|---|---|---|
Storage |
Standard storage volume |
Log storage volume of raw logs (including backup logs; compressed). If 10 GB raw logs are uploaded, the storage volume of raw logs (including backup logs; compressed) is 10 GB. |
Pay-per-use: Standard storage volume fee = Standard storage volume (GB) x Unit price per GB |
500 MB/month |
Cold storage volume |
Log storage volume of raw logs (including backup logs; compressed). If 10 GB raw logs are uploaded, the storage volume of raw logs (including backup logs; compressed) is 10 GB. |
Pay-per-use: Cold storage volume fee = Cold storage volume (GB) x Unit price per GB |
None |

Traffic |
Log read/write traffic |
Includes write traffic and read traffic:
|
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:
Examples:
|
Pay-per-use: Log index fee = Index traffic (GB) x Unit price per GB |
500 MB/month |
|
Transfer |
The open beta test (OBT) of the log transfer function is about to end. From April 30 to June 30, 2024, charging for this function will be gradually enabled in each region. The transfer fee covers only traffic for transferring custom log fields and does not cover that for transferring built-in reserved fields of LTS. Log sample: The raw log is 192.168.0.1 200 190 /check. After being structured, the log becomes {"ip":"192.168.0.1","status":200,"cost_time":190,"url":"/check"}. The following uses this sample to describe how traffic is calculated. |

Basic log transfer traffic |
Basic log transfer includes transferring logs in raw or JSON format to Object Storage Service (OBS), and transferring logs to Distributed Message Service (DMS) and Data Ingestion Service (DIS). It does not require field mapping between the source log stream and the transfer destination, consuming less computing power than advanced log transfer. Basic transfer traffic includes the traffic for transferring non-compressed data. Example:
|
Pay-per-use: Basic transfer traffic fee = Transfer traffic (GB, non-compressed) x Unit price per GB |
None |
|
Advanced log transfer traffic |
Advanced log transfer includes transferring logs in ORC format to OBS, and transferring logs to Data Warehouse Service (DWS) and Data Lake Insight (DLI). It requires field mapping between the source log stream and the transfer destination, consuming more computing power than basic log transfer. Advanced transfer traffic includes the traffic for transferring non-compressed data. Example: If you transfer the ip, status, cost_time, and url fields in the log to DWS, LTS collects the size (non-compressed) of each field value. Each number is counted as 8 bytes. Therefore, the transfer traffic is length("192.168.0.1") + 8 + 8 + length("/check") = 11 + 8 + 8 + 6 = 33 bytes. |
Pay-per-use: Advanced transfer traffic fee = Transfer traffic (GB, non-compressed) x Unit price per GB |
None |
To avoid extra expenses, you can configure log collection to stop when the quota runs out on the Configuration Center page. For details, see Configuration Center.
Billing Examples
The full-text index application scenario is used as an example.
The prices mentioned in the figure are only for reference. For details, see Price Calculator.
Assume that you have a server generating 100 GB raw logs every day, full-text index is enabled, and logs are retained for 30 days (the earliest logs are deleted first). After you enable intelligent cold storage, data is stored in the standard storage tier for seven days. Therefore, the cold storage duration is 23 days (30 – 7). For details, see the following table.

Monthly Billing |
---|---|---|---|---|
Read/Write traffic |
Daily read/write traffic: 100 GB/5 (compression rate) = 20 GB. Accumulated read and write traffic for 30 days: 20 GB x 30 = 600 GB. |
600 GB |
$0.05 USD/GB |
(600 GB – 500 MB/1,024) x 0.05 = $29.98 USD |
Index traffic |
100 GB x 30 = 3,000 GB |
3,000 GB |
$0.08 USD/GB |
(3,000 GB – 500 MB free quota/1,024) x 0.08 = $239.96 USD |
Standard storage |
Standard storage volume = 100 GB/day x 7 days = 700 GB |
700 GB |
$0.000125 USD/GB-hour |
(700 GB – 500 MB free quota/1,024) x 0.000125 x 24 hours x 30 days = $62.96 USD |
Cold storage |
Cold storage volume = 100 GB/day x 23 days = 2,300 GB |
2,300 GB |
$0.00003993 USD/GB-hour |
2,300 GB x 0.0003993 x 24 hours x 30 days = ¥66.12 |
Basic log transfer traffic |
Basic log transfer traffic: 100 GB/day x 30 days = 3,000 GB |
3,000 GB |
$0.0125 USD/GB |
3,000 GB x $0.0125 USD = $37.5 USD |
Advanced log transfer traffic |
Advanced log transfer traffic: 100 GB/day x 30 days = 3,000 GB |
3,000 GB |
$0.05 USD/GB |
3,000 GB x $0.05 USD = $150 USD |
