Azure Log Analytics Plans Pricing
Log Analytics (the data backend for Azure Monitor) is priced by ingested-data volume (per-GB) with a Pay-As-You-Go tier and tiered Commitment plans (100 GB/day through 5,000 GB/day) that discount the per-GB rate. Data retention is 31 days free; longer interactive retention and long-term Archive (up to 12 years) are billed separately. Basic Logs and Auxiliary Logs offer cheaper ingest for high-volume, low-query-frequency tables. Search and restore-from-archive carry separate per-GB-scanned charges.
