Usage

Overview​

Easily track your Bronto usage by fetching data via our API or creating custom searches within Logsearch to monitor usage metrics.

REST API​

  • Use our Usage API to retrieve usage data for a specific dataset over a defined timeframe.

Usage Dataset​

Bronto automatically provides a usage dataset for both Search and Ingestion when an account is created, enabling you to monitor key metrics.

  • Search: Metrics are logged every 2 minutes, capturing usage per dataset and collection.

  • Ingestion: Metrics are also logged every 2 minutes, tracking ingestion usage per dataset and collection.

Calculations​

The displayed usage values vary depending on the endpoint and feature. Below are the units of measurement and how they are calculated:

  • Usage API: Displays data usage in Bytes.
  • Usage Dataset: Displays data usage in Bytes.
  • Plan & Usage Page (Monthly Ingestion Limit): Data usage is calculated in GB (1 GB = 1,000,000,000 Bytes).
