Service plans

This topic includes information about the IBM Cloud Monitoring service plans.

When you provision an instance of the Monitoring service, you can choose any of the following service plans:

Table 1. Service plans
Plans Plan ID Plan Name
Lite 367a3918-9efc-43c5-bef9-20553051b7af lite
Graduated tier 231bb072-1b2f-4d7e-ae9e-9574d382be32 graduated-tier
Graduated Tier - Sysdig Secure + Monitor (*) 35784193-e918-42d9-9598-4e842ed75192 graduated-tier-sysdig-secure-plus-monitor

(*) Not available in the Madrid (eu-es) region.

You can provision a Monitoring instance with the Lite service plan to try out the Monitoring service for free for 30 days.

The Graduated tier service plan includes features that you can use to gain operational visibility into the performance and health of your applications, services, and platforms. It offers administrators, DevOps teams and developers full-stack telemetry with advanced features to monitor and troubleshoot, define alerts, and design custom dashboards.

The Graduated Tier - Sysdig Secure + Monitor service plan includes the same features that are available through the Graduated tier service plan and the IBM Cloud Security and Compliance Center Workload Protection service that you can use to protect, monitor, and enhance forensic analysis of your pipeline and runtime components. Combining the monitoring features and the security features, DevOps teams can quickly troubleshoot, analyze, and perform forensics on an incident.

The Graduated Tier - Sysdig Secure + Monitor plan is now deprecated. All new IBM Cloud Monitoring instances where IBM Cloud Security and Compliance Center Workload Protection functionality is also required should provision an IBM Cloud Monitoring instance with a connected IBM Cloud Security and Compliance Center Workload Protection instance.
