Resource descriptions, limits, and billing for Redis logs - Simple Log Service

Simple Log Service works with Tair (Redis OSS-compatible) to provide a log auditing feature that integratesSimple Log Service with Redis audit logs, slow query logs, and operational logs, enabling real-time querying, visual analytics, alerting, data shipping, and data transformation.

Resource descriptions

Dedicated Projects and Logstores
After you enable the log auditing feature, the system automatically creates a Project named nosql-Alibaba Cloud account ID-Region ID in the corresponding region, and dedicated Logstores named redis_audit_log_standard and redis_slow_run_log.
- redis_audit_log_standard: A paid Logstore that stores Redis audit logs.
- redis_slow_run_log: A Logstore that stores Redis slow query logs and operational logs. This Logstore is currently free of charge.
Important
If you have previously enabled the pay-by-ingested-data billing mode, the system creates a dedicated Logstore that uses this billing mode by default. To switch to the pay-by-feature billing mode, you must modify the Logstore configuration. For more information, see Modify Logstore configurations.

Dedicated dashboards

Note

Dedicated dashboards may be upgraded and updated at any time. Do not modify them. To display custom query results, create your own dashboards. For more information, see Create a dashboard.

A dashboard is created by default for the redis_audit_log Logstore.

Dashboard	Description
Redis Audit Center	Displays Redis audit log metrics, including the number of access users, access clients, and audit log entries, as well as average response time (RT) and average queries per second (QPS).

A dashboard is created by default for the redis_slow_run_log Logstore.

Billing details

You are charged for Tair (Redis OSS-compatible) audit logs based on storage space and retention period. Billing standards vary by region. For more information, see Billable items.

There are no fees for ingesting, storing, or querying slow query logs and operational logs.
If a Logstore uses the pay-by-feature billing mode, Simple Log Service charges you for data transformation, data shipping, and outbound internet traffic when you perform these operations after pushing Redis logs. For more information, see Billable items for the pay-by-feature mode.
If a Logstore uses the pay-by-ingested-data billing mode, Simple Log Service charges you based on factors such as the amount of raw data ingested after you push Redis logs. For more information, see Billable items for the pay-by-ingested-data mode.

Limits

You cannot write other data to dedicated Logstores, modify or delete their indexes, or modify their properties. However, querying, statistics collection, and alerting are not restricted.
You cannot modify the data retention period of a dedicated Logstore using the Simple Log Service console, an API, or an SDK. You can modify the retention period only in the Redis console.
Your Simple Log Service product must be active and your account must be free of overdue payments. Otherwise, the log analysis feature is suspended.
This feature is available only for Redis instances that run Redis 4.0 or later and have the latest minor version. The instance type must be Community Edition or Enterprise Edition (Performance-enhanced Series).
