Description


The Aggregated Diagnostics Logs (Preview) feature is designed to deliver significant cost savings and enhanced troubleshooting capabilities with Azure Cosmos DB diagnostics logs. Traditionally, logging detailed per-request traces in the diagnostics logs can incur substantial costs, especially in environments with high volumes of requests. This new feature provides an efficient solution by aggregating the diagnostic data into 5-minute and 15-minute intervals, creating a compact yet comprehensive table that encapsulates all the necessary data to troubleshoot common scenarios. By switching from detailed per-request trace logs to aggregated data points, you can see an estimated 90% reduction in costs related to logging activities in the CDBDataplaneRequests table. This means you can continue to monitor your application effectively while significantly lowering your logging overhead.
