Measure and Manage Ingest Usage

The Falcon LogScale usage model calculates the amount of data ingested to determine whether you're within your license limits. It also helps you determine if you need to upgrade your license.

The following documentation pages explain how usage is calculated and how to manage it. Each page is linked by its heading.

What's Measured

Lists what is measured with descriptions of each measurement point.

Optimize Ingestion

To get the most out of your license, you may need to set your LogScale system to ingest only what is important — instead of everything. This page will give you some advice on how to do that.

Monitor Usage

The best way to keep your usage under control is to monitor it. The methods and tools to do that are described on this page.
