# Eight Cloudflare Observability Updates at Once: Logs, Traces, and Alerts in One Place

Hi everyone, it's Shii-chan! This is a big Cloudflare Observability update with eight parts, so let's go through them one by one.

## What was announced?

The Cloudflare Blog announced eight major updates that bring logs, traces, analytics, alerts, dashboards, querying, and telemetry export into **one observability platform**, with simpler and more predictable pricing.

## What changes

The eight updates:

- **Unified logs home**: Workers Observability and Log Explorer combine into one interface. It covers datasets such as HTTP events, firewall events, Workers, Containers, R2, and AI Gateway, with SQL querying, built-in filters, and natural language visualizations
- **Cloudflare Traces (open beta)**: follow requests across the platform; we cover it in a separate post too
- **Unified SQL API (beta)**: one SQL dialect across all Cloudflare telemetry, reachable through the new `cf` CLI and the Observability MCP server, plus a native Workers binding to query Analytics Engine data
- **New Observability pricing**: effective December 1, 2026
- **Custom alerts (beta)**: define thresholds, anomalies, or SLOs with evaluation windows on HTTP logs, Workers events, traces, and security events; webhooks are available on all plans
- **Domain Analytics**: traffic, performance, security, cache, origin, and DNS data in one view, with 30 days on every plan
- **Custom dashboards**: combine analytics, logs, traces, and security events, and share them with your team
- **Logpush expansion**: now on all self-serve plans (previously Enterprise-only), with Transformers for SQL transformations generally available

## Dive Deep

Here's the pricing.

Observability pricing (from December 1, 2026, based on GB ingested and stored rather than event counts):

- Free: 0.5 GB/day ingestion, 7-day retention
- Paid / Enterprise: 50 GB ingestion and 10 GB-month storage included
- Beyond that: $0.25/GB ingested, $0.10/GB-month stored

Logpush (usage-based):

- 25 GB of exports free each month
- $0.03/GB for Cloudflare destinations, $0.10/GB for external destinations
- $0.04/GB for Transformers

## Wrap-up

- Logs, traces, SQL API, alerts, analytics, dashboards, and Logpush all got upgrades
