You are separately charged for the billable items of pay-by-ingested-data. For example, if you upload and store logs, you are charged a log write fee and a log storage fee. This topic describes the billable items of pay-by-ingested-data and the fee calculation for each item.
The following table describes the billable items of pay-by-ingested-data. For more information, visit Pricing of Simple Log Service.
You can log on to the Simple Log Service console to view the write traffic, read traffic, and storage usage of the previous day.
In pay-by-ingested-data billing mode, you are charged for data storage 30 days after the data is stored.
In the SAU (Riyadh) region, you cannot use resource plans to offset the fees of billable items of pay-by-ingested-data.
Billable item | Description | Fee calculation | Free quota |
Ingested raw data volume | When data is uploaded to Simple Log Service, the data is compressed. The ingested data volume is the size of raw data that is uploaded to Simple Log Service. |
| None |
Storage usage of the hot storage tier | The storage usage of the hot storage tier is the total size of compressed log data and indexes that are created on raw log data. You are charged for data storage 30 days after the data is stored. For example, the size of raw log data that is uploaded to Simple Log Service is 1 GB, and indexes are created for two fields. The compression ratio is 5:1 when the raw log data is uploaded, and the size of the indexes is 0.5 GB. In this example, the storage usage of the hot storage tier is calculated by using the following formula: 0.2 GB + 0.5 GB = 0.7 GB. |

Storage usage of the IA storage tier | You are charged for Infrequent Access (IA) storage 30 days after data is transferred to the IA storage tier. If you enable the intelligent tiered storage feature, logs are moved from the hot storage tier to the IA storage tier (formerly the cold storage tier) after the specified data retention period for the hot storage tier ends. In this case, you are charged based on the storage usage of the IA storage tier. The storage usage of the IA storage tier is the total size of compressed log data and indexes that are created on raw log data. For example, the size of raw log data that is uploaded to Simple Log Service is 1 GB, and indexes are created for two fields. The compression ratio is 5:1 when the raw log data is uploaded, and the size of the indexes is 0.5 GB. In this example, the storage usage of the IA storage tier is calculated by using the following formula: 0.2 GB + 0.5 GB = 0.7 GB. |

Read traffic over the Internet | If data is pulled over a public Simple Log Service endpoint, read traffic over the Internet is generated. The traffic is calculated based on the size of data after compression. |
