Thanks very much GaryBushey  But I'd still like to complete my example scenario and your suggestion greatly helps.

So say i picked the 'alerts' table and I want to enable archiving:

When the archiving started after 30 days I would use this reference to calculate my need for "Data Archiving at $0.02 per GB?"
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/monitor/

So my total costs would be:
Table N1 * 0.02xGB  _ Table N2 * 0.02xGB ....

 

Or I could just say for 500GB: 0.02x500x30days = $300 = peanuts...
I wonder if the calculator above is wrong - it seems to be adding the full 12 months of archive retention to EACH month.

 


Correct?
