Billing example

• Single-step probe

  • PC

    A customer enables Network Analysis and Monitoring on March 1, 2024 and creates a single-step probe task with 20 China Mobile detection points, 10 AWS detection points, and 5 Last Mile detection nodes within the Chinese mainland. Probe frequency: 5 minutes. March probe fees:

    1. China Mobile probe fee = (60 minutes / 5 minutes) × 24 hours × 30 days × 20 detection points × (CNY 10 / 10,000) = CNY 172.8

    2. AWS probe fee = (60 minutes / 5 minutes) × 24 hours × 30 days × 10 detection points × (CNY 50 / 10,000) = CNY 432

    3. Last Mile probe fee (within the Chinese mainland) = (60 minutes / 5 minutes) × 24 hours × 30 days × 5 detection points × (CNY 200 / 10,000) = CNY 864

    4. Total probe fee for March = CNY 172.8 + CNY 432 + CNY 864 = CNY 1468.8

  • Mobile

    A customer enables Network Analysis and Monitoring on August 1, 2023 and creates a single-step mobile probe task with 5 China Mobile detection points. Probe frequency: 5 minutes. August probe fees:

    Probe fee for August = (60 minutes / 5 minutes) × 24 hours × 31 days × 5 detection points × (CNY 360 / 10,000) = CNY 1607.04

• Multi-step probe

  • A customer enables Network Analysis and Monitoring on May 1, 2025 and creates a multi-step probe task with 2 single-step requests, probing 20 China Mobile and 10 AWS detection points. Probe frequency: 5 minutes. May probe fees:

    1. China Mobile probe fee = (60 minutes / 5 minutes) × 24 hours × 30 days × 20 detection points × (CNY 10 / 10,000) = CNY 172.8

    2. AWS probe fee = (60 minutes / 5 minutes) × 24 hours × 30 days × 10 detection points × (CNY 50 / 10,000) = CNY 432

    3. Total probe fee for May = (CNY 172.8 + CNY 432) × 2 single-step requests = CNY 1209.6

Billing example

A customer enables Network Analysis and Monitoring on July 1, 2023 and creates a browser monitoring task probing one Alibaba Cloud detection point each in Shanghai and London. Probe frequency: 5 minutes. July probe fees:

1. Alibaba Cloud Shanghai region probe fee = (60 minutes / 5 minutes) × 24 hours × 31 days × 1 detection point × CNY 0.01 per probe = CNY 89.28

2. Alibaba Cloud London region probe fee = (60 minutes / 5 minutes) × 24 hours × 31 days × 1 detection point × CNY 0.05 per probe = CNY 446.4

3. Total probe fee for July = CNY 89.28 + CNY 446.4 = CNY 535.68
