Billing items based on pay-by-ingested-data mode
This topic introduces the billing items and calculation formulas for pay-by-ingested-data billing mode of Torch Log Service (TLS).​
Price details​
For price details of TLS billing items, see Pricing details.​
Notes​
  • TLS supports changing the billing mode. However, only the change from pay-by-ingested-data mode to pay-by-feature mode is supported.​
  • Under pay-by-ingested-data mode, data transformation (cross-region data transformation incurs cross-region transfer fees) and log shipping do not generate extra fees but have quota limits. If the data exceeds the quota, fees are generated based on pay-by-feature mode.​

    Quota limits​
    Quota requirements​
    Data transformation volume​
    The free data transforming volume that each topic supports per month is 100TiB.​
    Data shipping volume​
    • Basic edition: The free data shipping volume supported for each topic per month is 100 TiB.​
    • Advanced edition: The free data shipping volume supported for each topic per month is 10 TiB.​
    Data consumption volume​
    The free data consumption volume that each topic supports per month is 100 TiB.​

Storage space​
TLS calculates the storage volume at every full hour (UTC+8). The daily storage volume is the average of the hourly storage volumes that are recorded over 24 hours of the day.​
The retention period of log data and index data is the log storage period that you set in log topic. Log data that exceeds retention period is no longer counted in storage volume. TLS deletes expired data at the next full hour.​
TLS automatically compresses data once the data is collected. The compression ratio is 20%~30%.​
Billing by data write volume only considers data stored for more than 30 days. Storage volume is calculated daily. For details, see Storage billing scenario.​
Data volume calculation methods are categorized into the following two types:​
  • Calculated based on compressed raw data volume: log storage space, infrequent access-log storage space, archive-log storage space.​
  • Calculated based on uncompressed raw data volume: index storage space, infrequent access-index storage space, archive-index storage space.​
​
Billing item​
Description​
Formula​
Log storage space​
After TLS collects data, the corresponding data volume (compressed) occupies standard storage space and generates accordingly.​
For example, if the collected raw data volume is 10 GiB with a compression rate of 20%, the daily storage volume for this data is 2 GiB.​
Daily storage volume (GiB) × price per GiB​
Infrequent access-log storage space​
The data volume (compressed) occupies IAS storage space and generates fees accordingly.​
When IAS storage is enabled, log storage converts to IAS storage if log storage time exceeds the standard storage period. Accordingly, fees are calculated based on IAS billing standard.​
Daily storage volume (GiB) × price per GiB​
Archive-log storage space​
The data volume (compressed) occupies archive storage space and generates fees accordingly.​
When archive storage is enabled, log storage converts to archive storage if log storage time exceeds the standard storage period or IAS storage period. Accordingly, fees are calculated based on archive billing standards.​
Daily storage volume (GiB) × price per GiB​
Index storage space​
After the data is indexed, index data volume (uncompressed) occupies standard storage space and generates fees accordingly.​
For example, if the original collected data volume is 10 GiB and only full-text indexing is enabled, the daily index storage size for this data is 10 GiB.​
Daily storage volume (GiB) × price per GiB​
IAS-index storage space​
After data is indexed, indexed data volume (uncompressed) occupies infrequent access storage(IAS) space and generates fees.​
When IAS storage is enabled, log storage converts to IAS storage if log storage time exceeds the standard storage period. Accordingly, fees are calculated based on IAS billing standard.​
Daily storage volume (GiB) × price per GiB​
Archive - index storage space​
After data is indexed, indexed data volume (uncompressed) occupies archive storage space and generates fees.​
When archive storage is enabled, log storage converts to archive storage if log storage time exceeds the standard storage period or IAS storage period. Accordingly, fees are calculated based on archive billing standards.​
Daily storage volume (GiB) × price per GiB​
​
Traffic​
Data volume calculation methods are categorized into the following two types:​
  • Calculates based on compressed raw data volume: public network read traffic and cross-region transmission traffic.​
  • Calculates based on uncompressed raw data volume: raw write traffic.​
​
Billing item​
Description​
Formula​
Raw write traffic​
When uploading data to TLS, the raw write data is calculated based on the amount of data transmitted (uncompressed).​
Daily total raw write traffic (GiB) × unit price per GiB​
Public network read traffic​
When the data are collected through TLS public network domain name, the corresponding data volume generates downstream traffic fees.​
  • Downloading logs via the public network or consuming logs by public network programs will generate public network read traffic.​
  • Querying and analyzing logs via the console or API does not generate read traffic or fees.​
Daily total public network read traffic (GiB) × unit price per GiB​
Cross-region data transmission traffic​
Traffic fees generated by the volume of data transformed (compressed) during cross-region transfer in data transformation.​
Daily cumulative transmission data volume (GiB) × unit price per GiB​
