Billing¶
In Console > Billing, you can view the balance of your settlement account and usage statistics for billing items, and analyze costs from four aspects: bill details, monthly bills, usage, and data transmission usage.
Settlement Account Overview¶
You can view the settlement account name, cash account balance, voucher balance, and prepaid card balance, set high-consumption alerts for the account, or directly go to the Billing Center.
Set High-Consumption Alerts¶
-
Overall Threshold Alert: Set an overall consumption threshold for the workspace. When exceeded, email alerts are sent to members.
-
Single Billing Item Alert: Set alerts for individual billing items. Email alerts are sent when the daily bill amount exceeds the threshold.
-
Enter the overall alert threshold.
-
Select a billing item and enter the Alert Threshold.
-
Select members to notify. When the actual bill amount exceeds the set alert threshold, whether for the overall threshold or a single billing item, alert emails will be sent to the selected members.
-
Confirm.
Note
-
Only Owners and Administrators can set high-consumption alerts.
-
The Owner role is not restricted by the notification target selection and will receive email notifications when alerts are triggered.
Usage Statistics¶
View statistical data for each billing item up to the current moment and up to yesterday.
For information on 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 unique tag combinations for all metrics in the metric data reported via DataKit by the user on that day. |
| Log Data Count | per million / day | Data generated by functions such as logs, events, and synthetic tests. |
| Log Raw Write Volume | per GB /day | The size of the raw log write volume reported by the user. |
| Data Transmission to Default Storage Volume | per GB / day | Based on the current workspace's data transmission to the Guance internal storage type, aggregates the transmitted volume size, counts full data, and bills according to the corresponding data. |
| Data Transmission to OSS/S3/OBS/Kafka | per GB / day | Based on the current workspace's different data transmission external archive types, aggregates the transmitted volume size, counts daily incremental data, and bills according to the corresponding data. |
| Trace Count | per million Traces / day | Counts the number of Traces in the reported trace data. Generally, if Spans have the same trace_id, they are grouped under one Trace. |
| Profile Count | per ten thousand Profiles / day | Counts the number of reported APM Profile data. |
| Tracing Raw Write Volume | ||
| RUM PV Count | per ten thousand PVs / day | Counts the number of page views from reported user access data, typically derived by counting the daily number of Resource, Long Task, Error, and Action data. |
| RUM Raw Write Volume | ||
| Session Replay Count | per thousand Sessions / day | Counts the number of Sessions that actually generated session replay data. Generally derived by counting the number of session_id where has_replay: true exists in the Session data. |
| Test Count | per ten thousand API Tests / day | Costs incurred from using the Synthetic Tests feature. |
| Pipeline Data Processing Volume | per GB / day | The size of all raw log data processed by the central pipeline. |
| Sensitive Data Scan Volume | per GB / day | The raw volume size of sensitive data scanned based on scan rules. |
| SIEM Scan Volume | per GB / day | The actual compressed data volume scanned for the workspace. |
| Trigger Count | per ten thousand / day | Costs incurred from using features like anomaly detection and metric generation. |
| Report Send Count | per send / day | The daily number of scheduled report sends within the workspace. |
| Network Host Count | per host reporting network data / day | The number of host counted in the eBPF-reported network data within the workspace. |
| SMS Send Count | per 10 messages / day | Counts the number of SMS messages sent on that day. |
| Phone Notification Count | per call / day | Counts the number of phone calls made on that day. |
| Error Count | per thousand / day | Counts the daily number of newly associated error data entries, including error data reported to the Error Center. |
| Data Point Count | per ten million / day | Fully counts the total number of actual data points reported for all metric data within the storage period. |
Bill Details¶
Displays consumption data for each product from dimensions such as billing mode, usage, payable amount, and arrears amount. Supports viewing cost statistics by month.
Provides a one-click "Hide $0 Bills" function and allows exporting bill details for the selected month or the last 12 months as a CSV file.
Monthly Bill¶
Displays aggregated bill statistics on a monthly basis, covering dimensions such as total monthly consumption, cash consumption, cloud account consumption, voucher consumption, prepaid card consumption, and total arrears.
Supports a one-click "Hide $0 Bills" function and allows exporting bill details for the selected month or the last 12 months as a CSV file.
Usage Analysis¶
Intuitively displays the usage of each billing item in the current time zone through line charts. Supports manually switching to the billing time zone (UTC+8) to view details.
Data Transmission Usage Analysis¶
Displays the transmission volume of all data transmission rules in the workspace. Supports viewing statistics for time dimensions such as today, yesterday, this week, last week, this month, last month, and this year.
Note
-
If a transmission rule is saved to the Guance backup log, the corresponding data retention policy is displayed; otherwise, it shows as
-. -
Only rules that exist and have a transmission volume > 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 permission to view the Billing module.
Guance uses two independent but statistically linked account systems for the Commercial Plan to implement usage-based billing and fee settlement:
-
Console Account: Tracks the data ingestion scale, bill details, etc., of the workspace and synchronizes them to the designated Billing Center account.
-
Billing Center Account: Bound via
Workspace ID, enabling unified cost management at the workspace level and supporting multiple payment methods.
