Data usage

In IBM Cloud Logs, you can monitor your instance's data usage for the current month, the previous 30 days, or the previous 90 days.

Complete the following steps to view your data usage:

  1. In the navigation bar, click the Data pipeline icon Data pipeline icon > Data Usage.

  2. Select a period.

    You can generate a report for:

    • The current month
    • Last 30 days
    • Last 90 days

The Data Usage Report includes:

  • Usage chart: This includes two usage columns, with the green column presenting the actual amount of data sent per day and the purple column presenting the units for which you’ve been charged per day in conformity with your TCO Optimizer settings.
  • DAILY MAX. The day in which the largest amount of data was sent.
  • TOTAL. The sum of all days.
  • MAX SAVED. Total data sent minus the total amount of counted units for a given period – 90 days, 30 days, or the current month.
