Hey everyone! 👋 I've been lurking for a bit but finally have something to post about. I'm relatively new to the iboss ecosystem at my company, and we've been trying to get more proactive with our cloud security monitoring.
Our team recently enabled the 'predictive insights' add-on about two billing cycles ago. The sales rep made it sound like a game-changer for threat visibility, and we were really excited to see what it could uncover.
However, I just got our latest cloud bill, and the cost for iboss has nearly **tripled** compared to our baseline. The only significant change we made was flipping on that feature. I've gone through the console and can't find any obvious usage meters or settings that would explain this.
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm trying to build a case for my manager, and I'd love to understand:
* Is this a common experience with predictive insights, or did we maybe misconfigure something?
* Are there specific log sources or data volumes that dramatically drive up costs once it's enabled?
* Any recommendations on how to optimize the setup or which thresholds to adjust first?
I'm still learning the ropes with security data pipelines, so any detailed walkthroughs or things to check would be incredibly helpful. We want the insights, but not at this cost! 😅
