Metrics

Available today

Measurements, rates and changes over time.

Traces and metrics share the 1 TB monthly ingest allowance. Daily and seven-day volumes use a 30-day month, before compression and storage overhead. This planner estimates traces and metrics; contact us to size log ingestion.

Query compute

100 GB-hours included

Set your expected query usage for the month.

Stored data

100 GB included

Your average stored volume after compression.

Base fee$30.00
Ingest above 1 TB$0.00
Queries above 100 GB-hrs$0.00
Storage above 100 GB$0.00

Bringing logs, too?

Log ingestion is available in early access. Tell us your volume so we can confirm capacity and pricing.

Only usage above the included allowance is charged. Graduated rates apply to each portion of monthly usage within its tier.

Average stored data: first 100 GB included, then $0.03 per GB per month. Seven-day retention is the current launch configuration; no archive storage tiers are offered.

For example, 2 TB ingest, 250 GB-hours of query compute and 200 GB stored is $30 base + $120 ingest + $30 queries + $3 storage = $183/month before taxes.

A few more details

Clear from the start.

How does the monthly price work?

Your $30 monthly base includes 1,000 GB of ingest, 100 GB-hours of query compute and 100 GB of average stored data. Usage above those allowances adds to your monthly total. Traces and metrics share one ingest allowance. The calculator shows each charge separately.

What can I use today?

Trace, metric and log ingestion, wide-event queries, Boards, Stream, trace inspection and read-only MCP tools are available in early access. This planner covers traces and metrics; contact us to size logs. Alerts, SAML SSO and directory sync are not included in the current offer.

How long is telemetry retained?

The launch configuration keeps seven days of trace and metric data. If you need a different window, contact us to discuss support and capacity before committing.

Is this an exact bill?

This is a usage estimate. Actual charges depend on measured monthly ingest, query compute and average stored data. Storage is entered separately because compression varies. We confirm supported capacity and billing arrangements before activation; this page does not activate a plan or charge your account.
