Archive Logs Table vs Blob storage account (Which one is cheaper?)

[FahadAhmed]

Hi,

Microsoft recently provided feature of Archive Table, previously we used to have a playbook to move logs from the log analytical workspace to Blob Storage account.

My question is interms of pricing, which one is the better option? I see that using Archive table is easier, since we just have to define Retention on the table, however am not sure if that would be cost effective?

Please share any link from Microsoft as to which one is cheaper.

Thanks

Fahad

Hello I would go with archivelog using the log analytics workspace, because when you want to search the log's you can easily use kql as opposed to storage.

Thank u for the response, I m specifically looking from the cost perspective.

Log analystic basic log = $1 per gb
Log analytic log = $4,60 per gb
Storage cool tier = $1,89 per gb , but depends because have the write and read operation, i used 10x10,000 operations per every type.

Storage hot tier = $0,83 per gb , but depends because have the write and read operation, i used 10x10,000 operations per every type.

Thank u for the prompt response however This is missing pricing of the Archive tier. Also I wanted to know that Archive tier in the storage account is same as Archive Table in Microsoft Sentinel or they r different n have different prices. If u can share pricing for both if they r separate. Pricing for Archive Tier for storage account n Archive table

Storage tier archive $0.50, but higher access and transaction costs.

Sentinel Log Analytics Data Archive - $0.04 per gb, but
Archived logs can also be restored to enable full interactive analytics query capabilities. Maintaining restored logs incurs a pro-rated cost per day and per GB based on the time the data is kept restored and the amount of data restored (subject to the minimal restore duration and data volume)

*If a restore is kept for less than 12 hours, the restore will be billed for a 12-hour minimum duration
