Abstract
A data intake and query system measures an amount of raw data ingested by the system during defined periods of time. As used herein, ingesting raw data generally refers to receiving the raw data from one or more computing devices and processing the data for storage and searchability. Processing the data may include, for example, parsing the raw data into “events,” where each event includes a portion of the received data and is associated with a timestamp. Based on a calculated number of events generated by the system during one or more defined time periods, the system may calculate various metrics including, but not limited to, a number of events generated during a particular day, a number of events generated per day over a period of time, a maximum number of events generated in a day over a period of time, an average number of events generated per day, etc.
