Application Real-Time Monitoring Service (ARMS) stores observable data in Simple Log Service (SLS) and Managed Service for Prometheus. Storage in these services does not incur additional fees. You are charged only for ARMS usage. For billing details, see Billing (new version).
Each data type has a specific storage path and retention period. Use these paths to query raw data directly in SLS or Prometheus for custom analysis, such as building dashboards, defining alert rules, or running ad hoc queries.
Do not delete the SLS project or Prometheus instance that stores observable data. Otherwise, the data becomes lost and features become unavailable.
