Ingest Usage Management

The Falcon LogScale usage model calculates the amount of data ingested in order to determine whether you're within the limits defined by your license agreement, or if you need to upgrade your license.

Below is a list of documentation pages related how usage is calculated and how you can manage it. Each is described and their headings are links to those pages.

Monitor Usage

The best way to keep your usage under control is to monitor it. There are plenty of methods and tools to do that. They're explained on the linked here.
