Manage Metric accounts

Logz.io Metrics provides powerful tools to monitor your data with precision, helping you debug, troubleshoot, and resolve issues faster.

If you're an admin of your Logz.io main account, you can manage your Metrics setup from the Manage Accounts page under Settings > Manage Accounts, then navigate to the Metrics tab.

Manage your account​

Your Metrics usage is calculated based on the number of Unique Time Series (UTSs), which represent the distinct metric streams collected using PromQL. These include counters, gauges, histograms, and summaries.

At the top of the page, you'll see a summary of your account, including:

  • Allowed unique metrics – The maximum number of daily UTSs allocated to the account
  • Sub accounts – The number of active and available sub accounts for this telemetry type
  • Retention - The retention period indicating how long your metric data is stored

Metrics account overview

Below that, you’ll find a detailed table listing all related accounts for this telemetry type. Each row includes:

  • Account name – The name of the account
  • Account ID – A unique identifier for the account
  • Plan - The daily UTS allocation for the account
  • Token – The token used to ship metrics data to this account

Create an account​

You can add up to 5 metric accounts by default. If you need the ability to add more accounts, contact your account manager or reach out to Logz.io Sales team.

To create a new account, click Create new account, then enter the account name, the number of allocated UTSs, and select which accounts should have read access to this account's data.

Click Create to complete the setup. The new account will appear in the table with its associated details.
