Simple Log Service can collect logs from multiple types of Alibaba Cloud services, such as elastic computing, storage, security, and database services. The logs record operational statistics, including user operations, running status, and business dynamics of Alibaba Cloud services.
Overview
Automatic collection mechanism
When you enable the log collection feature for an Alibaba Cloud service, the system automatically performs the following operations:
Built-in Agent deployment: A log collection agent (such as Logtail) is pre-installed in the target cloud service instance. No manual installation is required.
Simple Log Service configuration: The system automatically creates corresponding Logstores in Simple Log Service (SLS) to store logs from the cloud service.
Real-time collection and storage: Log data is transmitted to Simple Log Service in real time through the agent and stored by service type.
Steps to stop billing
To stop billing for cloud service log collection, you need to perform operations on both data collection and storage resources:
Disable log collection
Go to the console of the corresponding cloud service and turn off the Simple Log Service integration feature.
After collection is stopped, the agent will no longer transmit new logs.
Clean up storage resources
Log on to the Simple Log Service console and delete the Project and Logstore for the corresponding cloud service.
Make sure to delete all linked instances to avoid incurring fees for storage space usage.
