    Viewing log topic costs

    1. Log in to the Billing Center and enter the Bill Details page.
    2. In the All Products drop-down list, select CLS to view CLS bills.
    By default, the bill data is arranged by cost in descending order, and you can visually view log topics that cost the most.
    With the bill time range selector on the top, you can switch the statistics time of the bills.
    3. In the row where the log topic you need to view, click View Bill Details.
    4. The bill details page about the log topic is displayed.
    You can view the following information on the page:
    Cost and proportion of each billable item in the bill of the log topic: When doing cost optimization, you can choose different policies based on the proportions of the traffic cost and storage cost. If the traffic cost occupies a large proportion, you can reduce the amount of logs printed on the log collection client or filter out useless logs through data processing. If the storage cost occupies a large proportion, in addition to the above two methods, you can shorten the log storage duration.
    Monthly cost trend in the bill of the log topic: The information can be used for year-on-year analysis to determine whether there is an abnormal sudden increase in the cost.
