Log Usage Reporter

Overview

The Usage Reporter gathers two usage numbers for every logging pipeline you have configured and sends them to the Mimir data source in your Grafana Dashboard.

Benefits

• Visibility: See per-pipeline bytes and record counts in Grafana for quick monitoring and investigation.

• Alerting & optimization: Use the metrics for setting alerts and optimizing ingestion.

Metrics

Metric	Type	Scope	Description
ionos_usage_logs_bytes_total	counter	per logging pipeline	Bytes sent by the logging pipeline
ionos_usage_logs_counts_total	counter	per logging pipeline	The number of log records each pipeline ingested successfully

The metrics value is the current state of the injestion that is sent every 5 minutes to your Grafana dashboard.

As the ionos_usage_logs_bytes_total and ionos_usage_logs_counts_total metrics are shown per pipeline, the label pipeline_id="<your‑pipeline‑uuid>" lets you separate the values in Grafana.

View the metrics

In your Grafana dashboard, go to Explore → select Mimir as the datasource. Select ionos_usage_logs_bytes_total or ionos_usage_logs_counts_total from the Metric drop-down list and click Run query to view the metrics.
