LogDNA releases Usage Quotas
LogDNA’s Usage Quotas are a new feature that allows users to set daily or monthly limits on the volume of logs stored and gives users more granular control of their data.

LogDNA will notify teams whenever a quota is hit and the alerts can be configured within LogDNA and include integrations to email and Slack.
