Solution - Log Cost Auditor

Gain Visibility into Log Costs in Your Kubernetes Cluster

Logging is essential for debugging, monitoring, and compliance, but excessive logging can silently drive up costs. In Kubernetes environments, applications generate massive volumes of logs, and without proper monitoring, expensive logs can go unnoticed—leading to unnecessary storage, ingestion, and processing costs.

CloudTune.ai Log Cost Auditor provides a clear breakdown of which logs are costing you the most. By analyzing application logs in your Kubernetes cluster, it assigns a monetary value to each log and ranks them by cost, so you can quickly identify and optimize expensive logs.

Key Benefits

• Reduce Log Costs – Identify and eliminate excessive or redundant logging.
• Full Cost Visibility – See exactly how much each log is costing in storage and processing.
• Data-Driven Logging Decisions – Adjust log levels based on cost impact, not guesswork.
• Easy Kubernetes Deployment – Run as a lightweight agent with minimal resource overhead.

How It Works

1. Analyze Application Logs in Kubernetes

The Log Cost Auditor scans logs generated by applications running in your Kubernetes cluster, collecting:

• Log volume and frequency per container, pod, and namespace
• Storage and processing costs per log
• High-cost logging patterns that may be optimized

2. Assign a Cost to Each Log

By integrating with cloud provider pricing data, the auditor calculates:

• How much each log line costs in storage and processing fees
• Total cost per application, pod, and namespace
• An ordered list of the most expensive logs

3. Provide Actionable Insights

The system generates cost reports that help teams:

• Identify excessive logging and noisy applications
• Tune log levels to reduce waste without losing critical visibility
• Make informed decisions on log retention policies
