If additional features like SQL write analysis are used, DBW will charge for full aggregation analysis fees on top of the aforementioned items. Actual charges may vary.

V1 Database Audit Billing Items

tip

Since V1 Database Audit is billed through TLS, enabling both V1 and V2 Database Audit may result in dual charges. It is recommended to disable V1 Database Audit.

Function type	Billing method	Description
V1 Database audit	None	Collection fee: Log collection is free during the promotion period. After the promotion period, fees will be charged based on the amount of logs collected. Storage fee: Each instance has 5 GiB of free storage space during the promotion period, and corresponding fees will be charged for exceeding this amount.

tip

Billing rules

Billing rules for V2 database audit & full SQL insight

tip

Since the SQL details recorded in full SQL insight are all V2 database audit information, the SQL details in database audit and full SQL insight are not billed separately.

When only V2 database audit is enabled, log storage fee, log collection fee, index storage fee, and index traffic fee will be charged. If you enable full SQL insight at the same time, a total aggregation analysis fee will be charged on top of the above fees.

Cost calculation formula

Taking the region China South 1 (Guangzhou) as an example, the total costs when full SQL insight is not enabled and when it is enabled are as follows:

Costs when full SQL insight is not enabled:

Total cost = 0.0042 (CNY/GiB/hour) × Log storage × Usage time + 0.18 (CNY/GiB) × Log collection volume + 0.0042 (CNY/GiB/hour) × Index storage × Usage time + 0.35 (CNY/GiB) × Index traffic

Fees when full SQL insight is enabled:

Total cost = 0.0042 (CNY/GiB/hour) × Log storage × Usage time + 0.18 (CNY/GiB) × Log collection volume + 0.0042 (CNY/GiB/hour) × Index storage × Usage time + 0.35 (CNY/GiB) × Index traffic + 0.08 (CNY/GiB) × Total aggregation analysis volume
