Billing example

Assume you enable second-level monitoring for 5 metrics on a cloud service, each generating 1 data point every 5 seconds per instance. For 100 instances, the daily fee is calculated as follows:

Second-level monitoring data points = (60 seconds ÷ 5 seconds) × 60 minutes × 24 hours × 5 metrics × 100 instances = 8.64 million points

Second-level monitoring fee = 8.64 million points × USD 0.00035 per 10,000 points = USD 0.3024
