Billing¶

In Console > Billing, you can view the balance of your settlement account and usage statistics of billing items, and analyze costs from four aspects: bill details, monthly bills, usage, and data transfer usage.

Settlement Account Overview¶

You can view the settlement account name, cash account balance, voucher balance, prepaid card balance, and set up high consumption alerts for the account, or directly go to Billing Center.

Set High Consumption Alert¶

Total Threshold Alert: Set an overall consumption threshold for the workspace, and send email alerts to members when the threshold is exceeded.
Single Billing Item Alert: Set alerts for individual billing items, and send email alerts when the daily bill amount exceeds the threshold.

Fill in the total alert threshold;
Select a billing item and enter the alert threshold;
Select members to notify. Whether it's the total threshold or a single billing item, email alerts will be sent to members when the actual bill amount exceeds the set alert threshold;
Confirm.

Note

Only Owners and Administrators can set high consumption alerts;
Owners are not restricted by the notification object selection and will receive email notifications when alerts are triggered.

Usage Statistics¶

View statistics for each billing item as of now and as of yesterday.

For billing items and pricing models, refer to Billing Plans.

Billing Item	Unit	Description
DataKit Count	units / day
Time Series	per thousand / day	Counts the number of tag combinations for all metrics reported by DataKit on the day
Log Data Count	per million / day	Data generated by functions such as logs, events, and synthetic tests
Log Raw Write Traffic	per GB /day	Size of raw log write traffic reported by users
Data Transfer to Default Storage Capacity	per GB / day	Based on the current workspace, the traffic size transferred to Guance internal storage type is summarized, and the full data is counted and billed accordingly
Data Transfer to OSS/S3/OBS/Kafka	per GB / day	Based on the current workspace, the traffic size transferred to different external archive types is summarized, and the daily incremental data is counted and billed accordingly
Trace Count	per million Traces / day	Counts the number of Traces in the reported trace data. Generally, if the `trace_id` in Span data is the same, these Spans will be classified under one Trace
Profile Count	per ten thousand Profiles / day	Counts the number of APM Profile data reported
Tracing Raw Write Traffic
RUM PV Count	per ten thousand PVs / day	Counts the number of page views reported by users, generally derived from counting the number of Resource, Long Task, Error, and Action data generated daily
RUM Raw Write Traffic
Session Replay Count	per thousand Sessions / day	Counts the number of Sessions that actually generated session replay data. Generally derived from counting the number of `session_id` with `has_replay: true` in Session data
Testing Count	per ten thousand API Tests / day	Costs generated by using Synthetic Tests
Pipeline Data Processing Traffic	per GB / day	Counts the size of raw log data processed by the central pipeline
Sensitive Data Scan Traffic	per GB / day	Counts the size of raw traffic of sensitive data scanned based on scan rules
SIEM Scan Traffic	per GB / day	Counts the actual scanned data size after compression in the workspace
Trigger Count	per ten thousand / day	Costs generated by using anomaly detection, metric generation, and other functions
Report Send Count	per / day	Number of timed reports sent daily in the workspace
Network Host Count	per host reporting network data / day	Counts the number of `host` in the network data reported by eBPF in the workspace
SMS Send Count	per 10 / day	Counts the number of SMS sent on the day

Bill Details¶

Display consumption data for each product from dimensions such as billing mode, usage, payable amount, and arrears amount. Supports monthly view of cost statistics.

Provides a one-click "Hide $0 Bills" feature and allows exporting bill details for the selected month or the last 12 months as a CSV file.

Monthly Bill¶

Display monthly total bill statistics, including monthly total consumption, cash consumption, cloud account consumption, voucher consumption, prepaid card consumption, total arrears, etc.

Supports one-click "Hide $0 Bills" and allows exporting bill details for the selected month or the last 12 months as a CSV file.

Usage Analysis¶

Visually display the usage of each billing item in the current time zone through a line chart. Supports manual switching to the billing time zone (UTC+8) to view details.

Data Transfer Usage Analysis¶

Display the transfer count of all data transfer rules in the workspace. Supports viewing statistics by today, yesterday, this week, last week, this month, last month, this year, etc.

Note

If the transfer rule is saved to the backup logs of Guance, the corresponding data retention policy will be displayed, otherwise it will be shown as -.
Only rules that exist and have a transfer count > 0 are listed.

Billing Center¶

Workspace Role Differences

Owner: Has the Billing Center button;
Administrator: Does not have the above button;
Other members: Do not have access to the Billing module.

Guance adopts a Commercial Plan with two independent but statistically related account systems to implement usage billing and cost settlement:

Console account: Counts the data access scale and bill details of the workspace, and synchronizes to the specified Billing Center account;
Billing Center account: Bound by workspace ID, it enables unified cost management at the workspace level and supports multiple cost settlement methods.
