Billing¶
In Console > Billing, you can view the balance of your settlement account and usage statistics of billing items, and analyze costs from four aspects: bill details, monthly bills, usage, and data forwarding usage.
Plans¶
Three versions are available: Free Plan, Commercial Plan, and Deployment Plan.
-
Public Cloud: Free Plan and Commercial Plan. Both adopt a pay-as-you-go billing model, with no difference in core features, but the latter supports larger-scale data ingestion and more flexible storage retention periods.
-
Deployment Plan: Community Edition (Free Plan) and Commercial Plan. The latter offers various billing methods such as pay-as-you-go, subscription, and licensing.
Account Overview¶
View the settlement account name, cash account balance, voucher balance, and prepaid card balance. Set up high-consumption alerts for the account or directly navigate to the Billing Center.
Set High-Consumption Alert¶
-
Total Threshold Alert: Set an overall consumption threshold for the workspace, and send email alerts to members when the threshold is exceeded.
-
Single Billing Item Alert: Set alerts for individual billing items, and send email alerts when the daily bill amount exceeds the threshold.
- Enter the total alert threshold;
- Select a billing item and enter the alert threshold;
- Select notification members. Whether the total threshold or the actual bill amount of a single billing item exceeds the set alert threshold, an email alert will be sent to the members;
- Confirm.
Note
- Only Owners and Administrators can set high-consumption alerts;
- Owners are not restricted by the notification object selection and will receive email notifications when alerts are triggered.

Bill Details¶
Display consumption data of each product from dimensions such as billing mode, usage, payable amount, and arrears. Supports viewing monthly cost statistics.
Provides a one-click "Hide $0 Bills" function and allows exporting bill details for the selected month or the last 12 months as a CSV file.
Monthly Bill¶
Display monthly bill total statistics, including monthly consumption total, cash consumption, cloud account consumption, voucher consumption, prepaid card consumption, and arrears total.
Supports a one-click "Hide $0 Bills" function and allows exporting bill details for the selected month or the last 12 months as a CSV file.
Usage Analysis¶
Visually display the usage of each billing item through line charts.
Data Forwarding Usage Analysis¶
Display the forwarding count of all data forwarding rules in the workspace. Supports viewing statistics by time dimensions such as today, yesterday, this week, last week, this month, last month, and this year.
Note
- If the forwarding rule is saved to the backup log of TrueWatch, the corresponding data retention policy is displayed, otherwise it is shown as
-. - Only rules that exist and have a forwarding count > 0 are listed.
Billing Center¶
Workspace Role Differences
- Owner: Has the Billing Center button;
- Administrator: Does not have the above button;
- Other members: Do not have access to the Billing module.
TrueWatch adopts a Commercial Plan with two independent but statistically linked account systems, enabling usage billing and cost settlement:
- Console account: Counts the data ingestion scale of the workspace, bill details, etc., and synchronizes to the specified Billing Center account.
- Billing Center account: Bound by
workspace ID, enabling unified cost management at the workspace level, supporting various cost settlement methods.
