The Cloud Logging Dashboard Revamp introduces a unified, at-a-glance cost intelligence experience within CK Lens, enabling users to better understand logging costs, ingestion patterns, and key cost drivers with enhanced clarity and control.
The updated dashboard combines high-level summary metrics with detailed breakdowns and interactive visualizations in a single, cohesive interface. Users can quickly view last three months cost trends, along with cost and usage distribution across key logging components such as Log Retention, Log Storage, and Vended Logs Storage, as well as Log Buckets.
With improved navigation and a centralized layout, the revamped dashboard eliminates the need to switch between multiple views, making logging cost analysis faster and more actionable.
The new experience includes interactive charts across key dimensions such as Project ID, Log Type, Bucket, Region, Resource Type, and Resource Group, enabling users to identify cost concentration and analyze ingestion patterns effectively.
A detailed table view provides granular visibility into log type, bucket, region, usage quantity, pricing units, and total cost, allowing users to perform deeper cost and usage analysis. Users can also analyze daily, weekly, and monthly cost trends, compare usage across projects and regions, and track resource group-level cost allocation.
Additionally, the dashboard includes actionable recommendation cards such as:
Limit Logging Retention to 30 Days
Logging Ingestion Control: Retention & Filters
These recommendations provide contextual cost optimization opportunities with direct actions, enabling users to move seamlessly from insights to savings.
With enhanced controls like time granularity toggles, interactive chart views, tooltips, and export functionality, the Cloud Logging Dashboard Revamp delivers improved usability, deeper insights, and a modern, streamlined logging cost analysis experience aligned with CK Lens design standards.
