Hi all
I need to understand a way of calculating each VM Performance Counter frequency and associated costs.
I get that Log Analytics charges you for Data Ingestion, correct?
So if I have one perf counter (e.g. Memory %) configured to probe each 10 seconds, I would save costs by modifying it to, lets say, 30 seconds.
However I don't understand how to calculate how much space is one perf counter probe using.
It's a silly question but I can't find any straightforward way of calculating how much I can save/expend by tweaking the frequency of the performance counters.
Thank you in advance.

You can see how much data a counter used in 10s, 30s etc...
Perf
| where CounterName == "% Processor Time" and InstanceName == "_Total"
| summarize TotalGBytes = sum(_BilledSize / (1024*1024*1024)) by bin(TimeGenerated, 10s)
Go to Log Analytics and Run Query
I have a few posts along similar lines: https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/industry-blog/en-gb/cross-industry/2019/07/22/azure-log-analytics-l...
You might need to see Bytes, to find the average per time period
Perf
| where CounterName == "% Processor Time" and InstanceName == "_Total"
| summarize TotalBytes = avg(_BilledSize) by bin(TimeGenerated, 10s)
TimeGenerated | TotalBytes |
---|---|
