Monitor your usage
This page shows you how to monitor the overall usage and costs for your Pinecone organization as well as usage and performance metrics for individual indexes.
Monitor organization-level usage
You must be the organization owner to view usage across your Pinecone organization. Also, this feature is available only to organizations on the Standard or Enterprise plans.
To view and download a report of your usage and costs for your Pinecone organization, go to Settings > Usage in the Pinecone console.
All dates are given in UTC to match billing invoices.
Monitor index-level usage
You can monitor index-level usage directly in the Pinecone console, or you can pull them into Prometheus. For more details, see Monitoring.
Monitor operation-level usage
Read units
Read operations like query
and fetch
return a usage
parameter with the read unit consumption of each request that is made. For example, a query to an example index might return this result and summary of read unit usage:
For a more in-depth demonstration of how to use read units to inspect read costs, see this notebook.
Embedding tokens
Requests to one of Pinecone’s hosted embedding models, either directly via the embed
operation or automatically when upserting or querying an index with integrated embedding, return a usage
parameter with the total tokens generated.
For example, the following request to use the multilingual-e5-large
model to generate embeddings for sentences related to the word “apple” might return this request and summary of embedding tokens generated:
The returned object looks like this:
