Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
This contract combines many independent usage dimensions that you mix based on what you monitor. Core dimensions bill per host: Infra Hosts, APM Hosts, Network Hosts, Profiled Hosts, and Fargate Tasks. Others bill by volume: Custom Metrics per 100, Indexed Logs and Ingested Logs per million events or per GB, Synthetics per test-run batch, Real User Monitoring per session block, and Analyzed Logs or Containers per unit. You buy only the dimensions you need and scale each separately. Some dimensions are deprecated for new customers, and custom dimensions support select private offers.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one billable host for Infra Hosts and APM Hosts?
A host is any physical or virtual OS instance you monitor, such as a server, VM, or Kubernetes node. For APM Hosts, only hosts actively generating traces count. Uninstrumented hosts like databases or load balancers do not count, even with the agent installed.
What happens if I ingest more logs or spans than my included allotment?
Each APM host includes a span ingestion and indexed-span allotment summed across all your hosts. If total use stays under the pooled allotment, you pay nothing extra. Volume above the pooled allotment bills per additional GB ingested or per million indexed spans.
How do the Container and Custom Metrics dimensions combine with host-based charges?
Host dimensions bill per host and include a set container and custom-metric allotment. Containers and Custom Metrics dimensions bill only for volume above those allotments. Custom metrics are counted hourly and averaged monthly across your whole account, not per host. All charges appear on the same invoice.
