Explanation

Metrics data in Splunk (introduced in Splunk 7.0) is licensed at a flat rate of 150 bytes per event, regardless of the actual size of each metric event. This is because metrics events (which store numeric measurements like CPU usage, memory, etc.) are typically far smaller than traditional log events, so Splunk applies a standardized byte count for licensing fairness. Regular log data is counted by actual compressed bytes ingested per day against the Enterprise license.
