Cloudflare opens Logpush to all plans ahead of a pricing reset
A unified Logs home, SQL API and traces beta ship alongside news that observability pricing moves to volume-based billing on every plan from 1 December.
Cloudflare rolled out a set of observability updates on 8 October, the headline being that Logpush, previously Enterprise-only, is now available on every self-serve plan. It ships with a free monthly allowance of 25GB to Cloudflare destinations, 25GB to external destinations, and 1GB for Logpush Transformers.
The rest of the release bundles Workers Observability and Log Explorer into a single Logs home, adds a Unified SQL API in beta with a native Workers binding and CLI support, and puts Traces into open beta for request-level visibility across security rules, caching and Workers execution. Domain analytics now get 30 days of retention on every plan, up from 7 days free-tier logs get today. Alongside this, Cloudflare confirmed observability pricing is moving from an event-based count to billing by volume ingested and stored, taking effect for all plans, including Enterprise on renewal, from 1 December 2026.
Why it matters: if you’ve been avoiding Logpush because it sat behind an Enterprise paywall, it’s now worth exporting logs from a free or self-serve plan. But check your actual log volume before 1 December — moving to ingested/stored billing changes the maths for anyone generating heavy log traffic, even if the headline allowances look generous.
The caveat: the Traces beta and the promised one-year retention are not fully live yet; Cloudflare lists year-long retention as “coming soon,” not shipped.
