Question

Considering this, post cx deploy the agent logs of the cluster will be pushed to CrowdStrike, will Microsoft charge for this ingestion as well ?

Answer 1

Hi Temitope Ayodeji Osuntoyinbo,

Hope you're doing well.

To determine whether Microsoft will charge for agent log ingestion of a customer's deployed cluster, customers are advised to contact Microsoft's sales team or customer support directly. They can provide detailed information about the specific service and provide accurate charge instructions based on the customer's needs and situation.

Best Regards,

Answer 2

Based on the information provided in the context, Microsoft does charge for data ingestion over the 500-MB limit per workspace per node per day. However, workspaces created by Defender for Cloud, while configured for Azure Monitor logs per node billing, don't incur Azure Monitor logs charges. Defender for Cloud billing is always based on your Defender for Cloud security policy and the solutions installed on a workspace. It is not clear from the context whether pushing the agent logs of the cluster to CrowdStrike would incur additional charges from Microsoft.

Answer: It is not clear from the context whether Microsoft would charge for data ingestion when the agent logs of the cluster are pushed to CrowdStrike.
