We are currently running on the Free plan, but I would like to evaluate the potential cost of upgrading to Pro (we require more than 3 active users).
Our dashboards are currently fed by 2 data sources: Google Managed Prometheus and Google Cloud Management. As part of the evaluating the cost, I thought I would check in to confirm that we are not exceeding the 10k metrics limit without me being aware of it (so that I could factor in any possible overusage costs).
I initially ran the bash script contained here: Analyze metrics usage with the Prometheus API | Grafana Cloud documentation . This returned a result set which, when totalled, greatly exceeded the 10k limit.
Next, I accessed the GrafanaCloud Billing/Usage dashboard, and it shows a result of 0 (regardless of the time period that I apply it across):
I also looked at the Usage Insights - 5 - Metrics Ingestion dashboard but it shows 0 and so does the ‘Home Page’ usage panel.
Clearly what we have here is me having a serious case of the stupids :). We are definitely getting data from both sources so I am puzzled why I am not seeing any usage reflect? I thought it might be due to the fact that we are on the free plan but, after doing some research here, as far as I can tell we should be seeing usage data even on the free plan?
If anyone can put me out of my misery, I would greatly appreciate it.
