Starting October 1, 2024, Basic Apps will get higher log volume, alerting, overage protection, and longer data retention and will no longer be free. You’ll see the following improvements with your Logs, Infra, and Service Monitoring Apps that are on the Basic Plan.
Logs Apps
- Instead of the 500 MB daily log volume that is currently shared by all Logs Apps in your account, you will now be able to ship and store 500 MB/day into each Logs App and keep it for a week, for a total of 3.5 GB.
- You will now be able to create one alert for each App on the Basic plan.
- You will be able to set overage protection, allowing you to define a daily log volume limit in your Logs App. This will enable the rejection of logs if the daily volume exceeds the specified limit in GB.
- The basic plan for Logs Apps will cost just $5/month or 10% less when paid annually.
Infra & Service Monitoring Apps
- Instead of only 30 minutes of data retention, Infra and Service Monitoring Apps on the Basic plan will retain metrics for a day.
- Basic plans for Infra & Monitoring Apps will start from $2.88/host monthly or 10% less when paid annually.
To make this transition smoother, we’re extending the trial period until October 1st, 2024 for all existing Apps that are either in trial now or are on the Basic plan. If you’d like to continue using your Basic Apps beyond this date, please add a payment method to your account by October 1st if you don’t have it in Sematext yet. If a payment method is not added, your Basic Apps will be automatically disabled.
