Cost of API calls and Cost of Send alerting messages

Hi I am using azure kubernetes service and I have deployed data pipeline platform i.e. Kafka. And I have setup monitoring for my kafka cluster using open source tools like prometheus and grafana. Here the prometheus server will make periodic api calls to kubernetes [i.e. kubernetes c-advisior, kubelet etc] to scrape the metrics from kubernetes. My question is that where I can find the cost calculation for these api calls and also I have setup alerting for my kafka cluster. So what will be the cost of each alerting message?

@ShreyasArani-1167 Thank you for your query!!!

An alert rule is charged based on the type and number of signals it monitors. A signal can be a resource metric, a log or an activity log. The cost of an alert rule that monitors multiple signals is the sum of the cost of monitoring each signal and any enabled features.

You can read more about it here.

For calls to the API server specifically, Microsoft will not charge the customer. Costs will levied as per this . For related components like LB, NSG, etc. please refer to this. Pricing calculator is the best tool which can help you to estimate the cost involved with most of Azure resources.

Hope it helps!!!
