Data Usage Report

Overview

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.

Hover over any day to view a tooltip that includes information on the actual GB sent for each type of priority category and how many counted units it is worth.

Notes:

• Units available per day are equal to your team’s daily quota or maximum daily usage (if all your data is assigned as HIGH priority). This is the default setting for any set of logs or traces unless it is modified in the TCO Optimizer.

• In the example above, 185.80 units were sent, but the customer - whose plan quota is 300 units - is only charged for 62.75 units given his / her TCO Optimizer settings.

• Data blocked is also presented as "counted units”, with the charge 8% - the cost of the network traffic ingest.

• Current day information is not updated live.

Detailed Data Usage Report

Overview

When exported as a CSV file, it includes the following details:

• Date
