How Do I Stop Billing on the LTS Page?

LTS can collect logs from hosts and cloud services.

• Host logs: Host logs are collected by ICAgent. If the monthly free quota of 500 MB is used up, you will be charged for the excess log usage on a pay-per-use basis. To stop log collection when the free quota is used up, log in to the LTS console, choose Configuration Center in the navigation pane on the left, and disable Continue to Collect Logs When the Free Quota Is Exceeded. For details, see Configuration Center. When log collection stops, no fees will be generated for log read/write and indexing. However, log retention will still be charged, so you are advised to change the log retention period to the minimum 1 day to accelerate the aging of collected logs. When the retention period ends, no fees will be generated for log retention.

  If you set the log collection to be stopped when the free quota runs out in AOM, the setting is also applied to LTS. To view the used quota, log in to the AOM console and choose Configuration Management > Quota Configuration.

• Cloud service logs: To stop collecting logs from cloud services, disable log reporting in the corresponding cloud services. For example, on the Elastic Load Balance (ELB) console, disable logging when configuring ELB access logging. For details, see Access Logging. For details about how to disable log reporting for Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), see Enabling or Disabling VPC Flow Log.
