Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Tanzu Observability pricing model work?
We have a simple and flexible pay-as-you-go model. Our consumption-based pricing is based on the rate at which you send metric data to Tanzu Observability during the course of each month. This gives you the flexibility to start with any size application you want and scale up/down as needed. It is not dependent on number of hosts or the number of users. It is highly suited for cloud-optimized container-based, dynamic environment.
Do you have a free tier or freemium option?
Yes! The free Tanzu Observability offering is our Wavefront for Spring Boot Starter for developers. You get full application observability, delivered with free metrics, distributed traces, histograms, and span logs. The free offering includes:
- Five days of metrics retention
- Up to 50 points per second (pps) of metrics
- Up to 25 spans per second (sps) of distributed traces, including OpenTracing and Sleuth support
- Up to 10 distributions per second (dps) of histograms (distributions)
- A 30-day free trial invitation for full-featured Tanzu Observability by Wavefront

How do I budget for how much Tanzu Observability will cost?
Talk to us. We have a lot of experience with different customers and applications and can help you estimate your costs. The Tanzu Observability pricing starts at $1.50 per data point per second (pps) monthly. To give you an idea, a typical host configuration that is sending 100 metrics every 10 seconds would cost $15 per host per month.
The estimate is based on using Telegraf agent (one of many collection methods) to send data to Tanzu Observability. It provides comprehensive infrastructure metrics at up to 1 second resolution, with extra capacity for application and custom metrics. Your actual price may be lower based on quantity and frequency of metrics, and applicable volume discounts.
Do you charge for storing metrics data?
No, you do not pay any storage costs for your data.
What if I have an unexpected peak or burst of data in a month?
We understand that you may occasionally have peaks and bursts of data that are not typical – and we do not want to unfairly charge you for those. We measure the rate that is used for pricing as the 95th percentile of the 1-hour averages of data rates for the month. This provides you with a no-cost buffer for occasional peaks and bursts.
Does the price vary for different types of metric data?
We do not differentiate on the types of metrics data you send us. Standard metrics and custom metrics are the same price. We have many customers who send us a combination of typical system metrics, application metrics (standard and custom) and even custom business metrics.
Can I manage how many metrics are sent from the agent on a host to Tanzu Observability?
Yes, you have complete control over how much data is sent to Tanzu Observability and what that data is.
Do you charge for data collection agents?
No. We don’t care where that data comes from. You can have as many or as few data collection agents (and integrations) as you like.
