Usage

In IBM® NS1 Connect®, you can view details about your plan such as the type of plan that you are subscribed to, your account IDs, and your account usage by billing cycle.

Accounts in NS1 Connect have a maximum number of resources and monthly limits based on your plan type. Usage limits include the total number of DNS records, monitors, HTTPS redirects, Pulsar decisions, and Filter Chain configurations that you can create, Cloud Sync network connections you have used, as well as the number of incoming queries to your domains per month.

To understand the factors impacting your bill, you can view the query usage and limits of your account.

To identify patterns of when your account might be susceptible to overages, you can analyze the query usage data through what-if scenarios. For added control, you can configure alerts to notify you when your usage reaches a defined threshold.

If you need to share usage data with account stakeholders, you can export that data.

Note: Usage data is retained for one year after data set is created for billing-usage.
