Monitor billing and account usage

Imply Lumi meters the resources you consume to ingest, query, and retain events each month. The Billing page shows how these metrics change over time. It includes interactive bar charts that display account usage for each metered component as well as a monthly breakdown of usage by attribute.

Prerequisites​

To access the Billing page, you need the Admin role. For more information on roles, see Manage roles.

Lumi meters resource usage across the following metrics:

  • Ingested: Total amount of data ingested.
  • Average retained: Average amount of data retained.
    Lumi updates this value every hour.
  • Queried: Total amount of data processed by Lumi in response to queries. This includes all bytes processed, not just bytes read.

Click Billing in the navigation menu to access the Billing page.
