      When you make a purchase, SecMaster auto-fills this parameter based on the new log volume you specify. You do not need to configure this parameter separately.

      • The quotas of security data retention and security data collection packages can be counted together. However, these packages cannot cover what you used before the purchase. Subscriptions to these packages cannot be cancelled.
      • For yearly/monthly security data collection and retention packages, data volume in excess of the package quotas will be billed on a pay-per-use basis.
      • Pay-per-use resources will not be disabled automatically even if yearly/monthly security data retention and security data collection packages expire. They will always be enabled on a pay-per-use basis.

        For yearly/monthly security data collection package, data volume in excess of the package quota will be billed each day on a pay-per-use basis.

        For example, a user purchases a security data collection package with 5 GB/day/quota for one month. If the user uses 5 GB data collection before 22:00 on the purchase day, and then uses 2 GB data collection 22:00 00 and 24:00, the extra 2 GB will be billed on a pay-per-use basis. Starting from 00:00 on the next day, a 5 GB/day/quota is available to the user again.

  • Security Analysis
    • Function description:

      Security analysis is the cloud native security information and event management solution SecMaster provides for you. The solution collects logs, reports alerts, aggregates security data, performs association analysis, and more.

    • Purchase configuration description:

      Table 2 lists the free quota of security analysis. You can increase the quota at an extra cost if needed.

      In pay-per-use billing mode, you will be billed based on the actual volume. You do not need to configure specifications.

      In yearly/monthly billing mode, you need to set the data volume as required. For details, see Table 3.

      Security Analysis

      You can estimate the security analysis data volume based on 120 MB/ECS/day.

      This estimate volume will be applied to security data collection, security data retention, security data export, platform security data, and security modeling analysis as well. If the quota for security analysis is used up, this function becomes unavailable on that day, but it turns to be available at 00:00 the next day.

      For example, if this parameter is set to 1 GB/day, each day there will be 1 GB of security data that can be collected, 1 GB of security data stored, 1 GB of security data exported, 1 GB of platform security data reported, and 1 GB of data for security modeling analysis.
