Is IONOS's Monitoring Samples the best deal?

Observability (Logging & Monitoring) · $0/mo

Best in class

IONOS Observability's pay-per-sample model ($0.17 per 1M samples) is a transparent, low-commitment option with no base fee, making it competitive for light to moderate monitoring workloads. However, verify your expected sample volume and total cost of ownership before committing, as heavy ingestion can accumulate quickly.

Before you switch

Calculate your expected monthly sample volume; at 100M samples/month you'd pay ~$17, but at 1B samples/month the cost jumps to ~$170
Confirm whether sample pricing aligns with your monitoring tool's ingestion rate (some tools batch or downsample differently)
Check if IONOS's data retention and query limits meet your compliance and performance needs
Review egress charges if you plan to export or replicate logs outside IONOS infrastructure
