Cost calculation example
Example 1
The cost of using Monitoring for 30 days if writing 20 metrics at 1 value per minute via the Monitoring API:
20 × 1 × (60 × 24 × 30) = 864,000 values = 0.864M values
0.864 × $0.088200 = $0.076205 = $0.080000Total: $0.080000
Where:
- 20: Number of metrics.
- 1: Number of values written per minute.
- (60 × 24 × 30): Number of minutes in 30 days.
- $0.088200: Cost of writing 1M values (up to 50M values).
Example 2
The cost of using Monitoring for 30 days if writing 20 metrics at 1 value per second via the Monitoring API:
20 × 1 × (60 × 60 × 24 × 30) = 51,840,000 values = 51.84M values
50 × $0.088200 + (51.84 - 50) × $0.050400 = $4.500000Total: $4.500000
Where:
- 20: Number of metrics.
- 1: Number of values written per second.
- (60 × 60 × 24 × 30): Number of seconds in 30 days.
- $0.088200: Cost of writing 1M values (up to 50M values).
- $0.050400: Cost of writing 1M values (over 50M values).
Example 3
The cost of exporting 100 metrics from Monitoring to your own Prometheus monitoring system installation with a polling interval of 15 seconds for 30 days via the Monitoring API:
100 × (60 / 15) × (60 × 24 × 30) = 17,280,000 values = 17.28M values
17.28 × $0.063000 = $1.090000Total: $1.090000
Where:
- 100: Number of metrics.
- (60 / 15): Number of values read per minute.
- (60 × 24 × 30): Number of minutes in 30 days.
- $0.063000: Cost of reading 1M values (up to 50M values).

Monitoring API
The minimum billing unit is 1 metric value. The cost is rounded to the nearest cent.
For example, writing the first 100,000 values will cost (100,000 values / 1 million) × $0.088200 = $0.008820 rounded to $0.010000. Whereas writing 150,000 values will cost (150,000 values / 1 million) × $0.088200 = $0.013230 rounded to $0.010000. Where $0.088200 is the price per 1 million values (if writing up to 50 million values).
