dev.log-volume-storage Calculator
Calculates log parsing throughput, field extraction overhead, and the storage impact of structured vs unstructured logging. Structured JSON logging adds 20–50% log volume overhead but enables efficient filtering — unstructured logs require expensive regex parsing on query.
