After you enable layer-7 access logging or health check logging, if the log volume is large, full log reporting may result in high log costs. Tencent Cloud Load Balancer (CLB) supports log collection through sampling to reduce the amount of reported data and reduce log costs.
Note:
You can configure to store CLB access logs and health check logs in Tencent Cloud Log Service (CLS) to achieve log search, analysis, visualization, and alarming. CLS is separately billed. For more information about the billing of CLS, see Product Pricing.

Prerequisites

You have created the logset and log topics for access logs. For more information, see Configuring Access Logs.
You have created the logset and log topics for health check logs. For more information, see Configuring Health Check Logs.
