Tracking Log Usage and AI Credit Consumption

Monitor your consumption to avoid unexpected limits.


Log Usage Counter

The top-right corner of the dashboard shows your current log count:

12,450 / 100,000 logs

This updates in near real-time as logs are ingested.

Usage Page

Navigate to Billing → Usage for a detailed view:

  • Logs used — current count against your monthly limit with a visual progress bar
  • AI credits remaining — daily credits left (for Pro and Business plans)
  • Usage history — chart showing daily log volume over the past 30 days

Usage Alerts

Lognitor sends notifications when you approach your limits:

  • 80% threshold — a warning notification
  • 95% threshold — an urgent notification
  • 100% — limit reached, new logs rejected

These appear in the notification center and can be configured to send email.

Reducing Usage

If you're consistently hitting limits:

  • Use minLevel: 'info' to drop debug logs in production
  • Increase batchSize to reduce duplicate logs
  • Use beforeSend to filter out noisy, low-value logs
  • Review which services generate the most volume and optimize
