Azure Monitor pricing

Azure Monitor’s pricing is designed to be flexible and scalable, catering to various monitoring needs and usage patterns. Here’s a breakdown of how pricing is determined:

Data Ingestion
You are charged based on the volume of data ingested into Azure Monitor. There are two main plans: Basic Logs for high-volume, lower-cost logging, and Analytics Logs for detailed analysis.
Data Retention
Log data retention is charged based on the duration and volume of data stored. Default retention periods are included, but extending these periods incurs additional costs.
Metrics
Standard metric collection is free, but custom metrics incur charges based on the number of data points collected. Retention of metrics data beyond default periods also incurs additional costs.
Alerts and Notifications
Basic alerts are included at no extra cost. Advanced alerting features, such as dynamic thresholds and high-frequency alerts, have additional charges based on the number of monitored metric time-series and alert frequencies.
Additional Features
Application Insights is charged based on the volume of telemetry data collected. Exporting monitoring data to other systems or storage services incurs extra costs based on the volume and destination service pricing.
