Price OCI Logging and Logging Analytics from daily volume, retention and the free 10 GB of monthly log storage.
Logging bills the standing volume you keep, which is daily ingest multiplied by retention rather than the daily figure alone — 40 GB a day at 30 days is 1.2 TB on the meter. Logging Analytics prices differently again, in units of 300 GB, so its cost steps up in blocks and a partially filled unit is billed in full. Retention is the multiplier nobody notices: doubling it doubles the bill without changing a single log line, and routing everything through Logging Analytics rather than a chosen subset is the fastest way to overspend. Confirm the per-GB and per-storage-unit prices in the Oracle Cloud cost estimator for your region.
OCI Logging Cost
retained GB = daily GB × retention days; Logging charges max(0, plain GB − 10) × per-GB price, and Logging Analytics charges ceil(analytics GB ÷ 300) storage units.
