Grafana Cloud Logs: new Query billing dimension added ($0.003/GB)
What happened
Between the Aug 3, 2026 and Aug 10, 2026 captures of Grafana's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Grafana Cloud Logs (Pro) added Query as a new billed dimension at $0.003/GB, alongside existing Process ($0.050/GB), Write ($0.400/GB), and Retain ($0.100/GB) rates. Pulse files it as a packaging change (metric change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Aug 17, 2026) lists Pro at $19.
It lands 38 days after Grafana's previous change, "Grafana: New Database Observability product + Assistant moves to token-based pricing" (Jul 3, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Grafana shifts AI billing to tokens, adds $2/1M overage pricing" (Jun 8, 2026). Grafana has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window Sumologic, Datadog, Splunk, Dynatrace and New Relic also changed their Data & Analytics pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
