Pricing Examples

Note: Pricing values displayed here are meant to be examples only. Please refer to pricing tabs for most current pricing information for your respective region(s).

  • Example 1 - EC2 Detailed Monitoring

    If your application runs on 10 Amazon EC2 instances 24x7 for a 30-day month, and you published 5 custom metrics every 5 minutes via the PutMetricData API, your charges would be as follows:

    Total number of metrics = 5 metrics per instance * 10 instances = 50 metrics
    Monthly CloudWatch Metrics Charges @$0.30 per custom metric = 50 * $0.30 = $15

    Total number of minutes in the month = 60 * 24 * 30 = 42,300 minutes
    Total Number of API requests = 10 instances * (42,300 minutes/5 minutes) = 84,600 requests
    First 1,000,000 API requests = $0

    Monthly CloudWatch charges = $15 + $0 = $15 per month

  • Example 2 - Custom metrics

    If your application runs on 51,000 Amazon EC2 instances 24x7 for a 30-day month, and you published 5 custom metrics via the PutMetricData API, your charges would be as follows:

    Total number of metrics = 5 metrics per instance * 51,000 instances = 255,000 metrics
    First 10,000 custom metrics @$0.30 per metric = 10,000 * $0.30 = $3,000
    10,001 to 250,000 custom metrics @$0.10 per metric = 240,000 * $0.10 = $24,000
    250,001 to 255,000 custom metrics @0.05 per metric = 5000 * $0.05 = $250
    Monthly CloudWatch custom metrics charges = $3000 + $24000 + $250 = $27,250 per month

    Total number of API requests = 51,000 instances * (43,200 minutes/5 minutes) = 440,640,000 requests
    First 1,000,000 API requests = $0
    1,000,001 to 440,640,000 API requests = 439,640,000/1,000 * $0.01 = $4,396.40

    Monthly CloudWatch charges = $27,250 + $4,396.40 = $31,646.40 per month

  • Example 3 - Monitoring with logs

    If you are monitoring HTTP 2xx, 3xx & 4xx response codes using web application access logs 24x7 for one 30-day month, by sending 1GB per day of ingested log data, monitoring for HTTP responses, and archiving the data for one month, your charges would be as follows:

    Monthly Ingested Log Charges
    Total log data ingested = 1GB * 30 days = 30GB
    0 to 5GB = $0
    5 to 30GB = $0.50 * 25 = $12.50

    Monthly Monitoring Charges
    3 CloudWatch Metrics @$0 = 3 * $0 = $0

    Monthly Archived Log Charges (assume log data compresses to 6GB)
    0 to 5GB = $0
    5GB to 6GB = $0.03 * 1 = $0.03

    Monthly CloudWatch Charges = $12.50 + $0 + $0.03 = $12.53

  • Example 4 - Monitoring VPC flow logs

    If you are monitoring VPCs that send 72TB of ingested VPC flow logs per month and archiving the data for one month, your charges would be as follows:

    Monthly Log Ingestion Charges
    0 to 10TB @$0.50 per GB = 10 * 1,024 * $0.50 = $5,120.00
    10TB to 30TB @$0.25 per GB = 20 * 1,024 * $0.25 = $5,120.00
    30TB to 50TB @$0.10 per GB = 20 * 1,024 * $0.10 = $2,048.00
    50TB to 72TB @$0.05 per GB = 22 * 1024 * $0.05 = $1,126.40
    Total Ingestion Charges = $5,120 + $5,120 + $2,048 + $1126.40 = $13,414.40

    Monthly Log Archival Charges (Assume log data compresses to 30TB)
    30TB @ $0.033 per GB = 30 * 1024 * 0.033 = $1,013.76

    Monthly CloudWatch Charges = $13,414.40 + $1,013.76 = $14,428.16
