How much is the ingestion cost for Azure diagnostic setting -> Destination "Archive to a storage account"

Question

I anticipate about 120 million transactions on a storage Account per month, And we want to enable diagnostic logging to track who/when made those transactions. We do not need KQL capabilities and we are ok to have the logs available in a storage account in the form of JSON files.

I can make a rough estimate for the log file size, say it is 500GB a month. How do I estimate how much will be the ingestion cost to enable this diagnostic logging? I understand the cost will be a total of ingestion cost + storage cost. I can estimate the storage cost for the Hot Tier, but I cannot find how much will be the ingestion cost in this case.

Hi @Walia, Deepak,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, thank you for posting your query here!

Below is the actual cost for ingesting data to send it from Azure Diagnostics to a destination Azure Storage Account

The cost to write

You can calculate the cost of writing to the archive tier by multiplying the number of write operations by the price of each operation. The price of an operation depends on which ones you use to write data to the archive tier.

Example: Put Blob

If you use the Put Blob operation, then the number of operations is the same as the number of blobs. For example, if you plan to write 30,000 blobs to the archive tier, then that requires 30,000 operations. Each operation is charged the price of an archive write operation.

Example:

Operations are billed per 10,000. Therefore, if the price per 10,000 operations is $0.10, then the price of a single operation is $0.10 / 10,000 = $0.00001.

I have calculated for 120 million Transactions below for your reference
