Manage Log Drain usage
What you are charged for
You can configure log drains in the project settings to send logs to one or more destinations. You are charged for each log drain that is configured (referred to as Log Drain Hours), the log events sent (referred to as Log Drain Events), and the Egress incurred by the export—across all your projects.
Log Drain Hours
How charges are calculated
You are charged by the hour, meaning you are charged for the exact number of hours that a log drain is configured for a project. If a log drain is configured for part of an hour, you are still charged for the full hour.
Example
Your billing cycle runs from January 1 to January 31. On January 10 at 4:30 PM, you configure a log drain for your project. At the end of the billing cycle you are billed for 512 hours.
| Time Window | Log Drain Configured | Hours Billed | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| January 1, 00:00 AM - January 10, 4:00 PM | No | 0 | |
| January 10, 04:00 PM - January 10, 4:30 PM | No | 0 | |
| January 10, 04:30 PM - January 10, 5:00 PM | Yes | 1 | full hour is billed |
| January 10, 05:00 PM - January 31, 23:59 PM | Yes | 511 |

Billing example
The project has two log drains configured throughout the entire billing cycle with 800,000 and 1.6 million events each. In this example we assume that the organization is exceeding its Unified Egress Quota, so charges for Egress apply.

| Compute Hours Micro Project 1 | 744 hours | $10 |
