Master Azure Monitor Logs Ingestion Costs: A Step-by-Step Guide

What is Azure Monitor Logs?

Azure Monitor Logs is a service that collects data from Azure resources and applications. It stores the data in a Log Analytics workspace and provides a query language to analyze the data.

What’s New?

Microsoft recently announced the ability to allocate Azure Monitor Logs ingestion costs by resource. This means that customers can now assign the cost of data ingestion to the resource that generated the data, rather than the workspace that stores it.

How Does it Work?

The new feature works by creating a resource tag in the workspace. The tag is associated with the resource that generated the data, and the cost of ingestion is assigned to that tag. This allows customers to track the cost of data ingestion on a per-resource basis.

What are the Benefits?

The new feature provides customers with greater visibility and control over their Azure Monitor Logs ingestion costs. It also allows customers to more accurately track the cost of their data ingestion.

“The ability to allocate Azure Monitor Logs ingestion costs by resource provides customers with greater visibility and control over their Azure Monitor Logs ingestion costs,” said Microsoft.
