Usage Reporting for Hybrid Resource Units

Last updated - 06 February, 2026

For all LogicMonitor Platform Packages, the underlying unit of measure is a Hybrid Resource unit. The Hybrid Resource unit is a single, flexible measure of consumption that adapts to your environment. Instead of maintaining separate subscriptions for various resources, you can leverage the Hybrid Unit as an interchangeable approach. This gives you the freedom to monitor any hybrid environment while reducing procurement complexity and minimizing overage risks.

A Hybrid Resource unit is equivalent to one of the following:

Hybrid Resource Typer	Hybrid Unit Ratio	Examples
Collector device	1	Virtual machine, server, on-premises resource, firewall, router, switch
Cloud IaaS instance	1	AWS EC2, GCP Compute Engine, Azure VM
Cloud PaaS resources	7	Kubernetes pods, serverless services
Wireless access points	5	Cisco Meraki, HPE Aruba

You can leverage hybrid unit ratios to translate different resource types into Hybrid Resource Units. For example, seven Cloud PaaS resources normalize to one Hybrid Resource Unit, and five wireless access points normalize to one Hybrid Resource Unit.

The following table displays how different customer environments size into Hybrid Resource Units:

Customer Portal	Collectors	Cloud IaaS	Wireless APs	Cloud PaaS	Total Hybrid Resource Units
A	50	51	0	0	101
B	0	0	0	7007	1001
C	0	1000	10	0	1002
D	500	100	0	7	601

Billing and Usage Calculations for Hybrid Resource Units

Hybrid Resource Unit billing is based on the monthly average of Hybrid Resource Units consumed during the selected billing period. Usage Reporting normalizes different resource types into Hybrid Resource Units using predefined ratios, enabling multiple resource categories to be measured under a single billing model. The following table explains how Hybrid Resource Unit usage is calculated for billing:

Usage Element	Description	How it Affects Billing
Resource Type Ratio	The conversion factor used to translate a resource type into Hybrid Resource Units	Determines how many resources equal one Hybrid Resource Unit
Normalized Resource Count	Total resources converted into Hybrid Resource Units using defined ratios	Contributes to the monthly usage total
Daily Hybrid Unit Total	Total Hybrid Resource Units consumed on a given day	Used to calculate the monthly average
Monthly Average	Average of daily Hybrid Resource Unit totals for the selected month	Used for billing calculations

Requirements for Viewing Usage Data for Hybrid Resource Units

To view Hybrid Resources in Usage Reporting, you must have a Platform Package which contains a Hybrid Resource. 

Viewing Usage Data for Hybrid Resource Units

1. In LogicMonitor, navigate to Settings > Usage > select “Hybrid Resources” from the Product dropdown menu.
