Issue descriptionIssue description

The Yandex Cloud usage details include Cloud Logging, although you have not created any log groups explicitly.

SolutionSolution

Starting November 1, 2022, Cloud Logging charges you for the amount of written data and its storage time. Logs for Cloud Functions, Yandex API Gateway, and Serverless Containers are automatically written to the log group created for each folder by default.

Note

The default log group is created automatically, even if you delete it manually. You cannot disable or delete it.

If you do not need to keep logs for Cloud Functions, Yandex API Gateway, and Serverless Containers in your cloud, you can set a minimum record retention period to one hour.

To do this, run this YC CLI command:

yc logging group update --name=<group name> --retention-period=1h

Install and configure the CLI using this guide.

Check the Cloud Logging pricing on this page.
