License unit definitions

Chronosphere Observability Platform uses the following definitions for licensing units:

• Active Time Series (ATS) is the total number of unique time series, defined as distinct combinations of metric names and labels, measured within a 2.5 hour time window.
• Control is the volume of data that undergoes transformation and reshaping. Control is measured in GB for traces, GB for logs, and matched writes for metrics.
• Long Term Retention is the number of months Chronosphere will retain data at a negotiated resolution.
• Matched Writes (mW) are the number of writes per second being matched for transformation and reshaping. For more information, see aggregations.
• Persisted Cardinality is the count of unique time series of the persisted writes stored by Chronosphere. For more information, see persisted cardinality.
• Persisted Writes Per Minute (WPM) is the total count of individual, timestamped data points persisted in a one-minute interval. For more information, see persisted writes.
• Persisted Writes Per Second (WPS) is the total count of individual, timestamped data points persisted in a one-second interval.
• Persistence is the volume of data stored following processing by control. Persistence is measured in GB for traces, GB for logs, WPM for events, and cardinality and resolution for metrics.
• Raw Retention is the number of days Chronosphere will retain raw data. For more information, see ingestion limits and retention policies.
• Resolution is the ratio of active time series to persisted writes per second.
• Time series is a set of data points with matching labels.
