Splunk licensing for Splunk Cloud

[IAskALotOfQs]

Hi all, could someone please explain how licensing works for both Events and Metrics in Splunk Cloud. I've looked at other posts in the Splunk Community but they don't really make sense. 

Would love a fresh answer to see if there are any differences/updated explanations

Cheers

Hi

I couldn't found anything special for SPC ingest calculation for now. My expectation is that those events and metrics are calculated just as in onprem enterprise version. Ingestion contains some information about ingestion in SCP.

Usually ingestion based license are sold only if you have max. couple of hundreds GB/day data amount. Quite soon (latest 400GB/d or even earlier) Splunk offer you a SVC based licenses which are calculated by infra (SH+IDX cores+memory) resources.
