Cloudflare announced eight updates on October 2, 2026 that bring logs, traces, analytics, alerts and exporting into one Observability system. The aim is to reduce the need to investigate Workers, security and HTTP datasets in separate product views. Source

Separate available features from betas

The new Logs home combines Workers Observability and Log Explorer and applies common exploration tools to datasets including HTTP, firewall, Workers, Containers, R2 and AI Gateway. Querying several datasets together is still planned. Domain analytics now retain 30 days on every plan, while custom dashboards and Logpush for self-serve plans are also part of the announcement.

Cloudflare Traces, which follows a request through supported security rules, cache decisions, routing, Workers and origin handling, is in open beta. The unified SQL API and custom alerts built on its data are in beta. Retention of up to one year and OpenTelemetry APIs in Workers are future items. Distinguish production-ready features from beta and planned capabilities before relying on them operationally. Source

Usage accounting changes on December 1

Unified Observability pricing applies across plans from December 1, 2026, and takes effect on renewal for Enterprise customers. The Free plan includes 0.5 GB of ingestion per day and seven-day retention, with no additional usage available. Accounts that may exceed the daily allowance need to decide which logs to retain as well as whether to move to a paid plan. Source

Paid and Enterprise plans include 50 GB of ingestion and 10 GB-month of storage per billing cycle. The announced overage prices are $0.25 per ingested GB and $0.10 per stored GB-month. Because billing moves from event counts to ingested and stored volume, a useful comparison requires measuring current log volume and intended retention in the same units. Contract and renewal terms still determine the actual bill. Source

Treat Logpush charges separately

Logpush is now available on self-serve plans. Exports to Cloudflare and external destinations each include 25 GB per month, with announced overage rates of $0.03 and $0.10 per GB respectively. Transformers, which applies SQL changes before delivery, includes 1 GB per month and then costs $0.04 per GB. Storage and export are separate cost categories and should be estimated independently.
