Database Audit Pricing
You will be charged for Database Audit only after it is enabled. For how to enable Database Audit, see Enable the audit service.
Database Audit is charged in pay-as-you-go mode based on the audit log storage size. The billing cycle is one hour. If the duration is less than one hour, the fee will be charged by one hour.
Note:
The audit log storage size is reported at the 'second-level', which may cause precision errors when it is calculated in 'hourly' units. For specifics, the bill shall prevail.
Region | Price (USD/GB/Hour) | |
| High-frequency Storage | Low-frequency Storage |
China (including financial regions) | 0.0014 | 0.00018 |
Other Countries and Regions | 0.0022 | 0.00026 |
Frequent/Infrequent Access Storage Description
If you set the data from the last 7 days to be stored in High-frequency Storage, data older than 7 days will be automatically moved to Low-frequency Storage. After the retention period for High-frequency Storage is extended, audit data that falls within the extended retention period will be automatically migrated from Low-frequency Storage to High-frequency Storage.
