GBCOST PLANNING

SIEM log volume and cost estimator

Estimate monthly and annual SIEM log ingestion and storage cost from GB per day by source, then model filtering or cheaper storage to see how SIEM costs could be reduced.

Every figure comes from the volumes, retention periods and prices you enter; Cloudek does not supply or assume any vendor price. The calculation runs in this browser and nothing is sent or saved.

Log sources: name and average GB ingested per day
Enter at least one source and your own prices, then select Estimate cost.

Planning estimate only, based on steady-state volume (365.25 / 12 days per month). It ignores compression, replication, query, alert, egress and minimum-commitment charges, and it cannot tell which logs your detections or compliance rules need. Filtered volume is treated as dropped, so check detections and retention duties first; see SIEM cost optimization without blind spots.
