Depending on the service scenario and selected features, here are two use cases:
Operations and Maintenance (O&M)
This scenario supports full SQL log recording and cluster analysis, which can be used to quickly query, locate, and analyze problematic SQL, handle emergency responses for affected services, and perform subsequent in-depth optimization. For feature details, see SQL Explorer and Audit.
Optional features for this scenario:
Assume your instance has 10GB of write traffic per day, and you set SQL Log Storage to 30 days, with hot storage for Log Index set to 7 days.
Suppose that 10 GB of data is written to your instance per day, and you set SQL Log Storage to 30 days and the hot storage for Log Index to 7 days.
The Storage Duration Of SQL Logs is your total storage time, which defaults to cold storage. For example, in the above scenario, after enabling log indexing, new logs will first be stored in hot storage for 7 days. After 7 days, the remaining 23 days of logs will be moved to cold storage.
Feature | Billable item | Daily unit price (Alibaba Cloud public cloud in the Chinese mainland) | Daily usage | Daily cost |
SQL log | Log traffic (DataIngestion) | USD 0.24 per GB | 10GB | USD 2.4 |
Cold storage (SqlInsightColdDataSize) | USD 0.0005 per GB-day | After logs are transferred to cold storage 10 GB on the first day 20 GB on the second day ... 230 GB on the 23rd day | 0 (Logs can be stored in cold storage free of charge for 30 days.) | |
Log indexing | Log indexing (RealTimeSearchAnalytics) | USD 0.24 per GB | 10GB | USD 2.4 |
Hot storage (SqlInsightHotDataSize) | USD 0.01 per GB-day | After this feature is enabled, the daily usage is 10 GB on the first day, 20 GB on the second day, ... and 70 GB on the seventh day. (Data is dumped to cold storage after seven days.) | Stored for 7 days or longer 10 × (7 - 1) × 0.01 = 0.6 yuan (Logs are stored in hot storage free of charge on the first day) | |
SQL Explorer | SQL Explorer (InsightAnalysis) | USD 0.08 per GB | 10GB | USD 0.8 |
Audit and compliance
This scenario supports bank-level security and compliance capabilities, as well as requirements for regulations in the Chinese Mainland. It provides long-term, transparent monitoring of database behavior with real-time alerts. For data security, it offers comprehensive detection of abnormal access, vulnerability attacks, data leakage, and baseline deviations to prevent impact on database services. For feature details, see Security audit (new version).
Optional features for this scenario:
Assume your instance has 10GB of write traffic per day, and you set SQL Log Storage to 180 days to meet the Chinese mainland compliance regulations.
The Storage Duration Of SQL Logs is your total storage time, which defaults to cold storage.
To meet compliance regulations in China, the cold storage period must not be less than 180 days.
