To enable log data collection, you are required to buy ECSs for collecting logs and configure VPC endpoints for establishing connections with and managing collection nodes.

ECSs are billed. For details about ECS pricing, see Elastic Cloud Server User Guide.
VPC endpoints are billed. For details, see VPC Endpoint User Guide.

If you no longer need log data collection or unsubscribe from SecMaster, you need to manually release the ECSs and VPC endpoints you create for log data collection, or they will continue to be billed. Perform the following steps:
