Monitor account usage

Imply Lumi meters the resources you consume to ingest, query, and retain events each month. The Usage sub-page of the Billing section 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. To access the Billing section, you need the Admin role. For more information on roles, see Manage roles.

Usage page

A bar in each bar chart represents a single day. Hover over a bar to view the amount of data, in bytes, processed on that day. Click a bar, then select Zoom In to view detailed usage. You can click the bar again to zoom in further to the hourly level.

Usage by day

To select multiple bars, click and drag your pointer across the bars.
