CLS provides a low-cost offline log storage solution to search and store massive infrequently accessed logs. The solution applies to scenarios where users do not have real-time log search requirements and logs need to be stored for a long time. It provides the minute-level offline log retrieval capability, meeting users' requirements for backtracking and archiving historical logs. Offline log storage does not support real-time log processing features such as monitoring alarms, streaming consumption, and real-time shipping.

Note：

• Currently, the offline log storage solution is in beta testing, and supports only the Beijing, Guangzhou, and Chongqing regions. If the solution is not supported in the region of your log topic, contact smart customer service for application.
• For offline storage in the beta phase, the fees for log write traffic and storage of log topics are exempted.

Advantages

• Lost cost: charges only log write traffic and storage fees, resulting in a total cost 80% lower than that of CLS real-time storage
• Ease of use: compatible with the search syntax of Lucene, eliminating the cost for extra learning; allows users to search for data without configuring indexes
• Stability and reliability: provides a brand-new proprietary log system with separated computing and storage, supporting scale-out, high availability, and flexibility of use
