Log volume estimator
Turn log lines per second and their size into daily and monthly volume, and see what dropping debug logs saves.
How it works
Volume is lines per second, times seconds in a day, times the average line size, for every service.
daily = services × lines/s × 86,400 × line sizeQuestions
How big is a log line?
Plain text lines are often 150 to 400 bytes; JSON lines with context are often 500 bytes to 2 KB.
Should I keep debug logs?
Rarely in production. Turn them on per service when you’re investigating.
