Sizing guide: Data sources

Connectors are billed per distinct integration type in concurrent use, not per device or per instance counts. For example, a single connector managing 500 routers counts as one.

Service volumes

Category	Service	Metering unit	Estimation method
Data Sources	Connector Services	Maximum number of Skyline-developed connectors concurrently active	Count distinct vendor systems or product types you plan to interface with. One connector per product type, regardless of instance count. Measured at peak concurrency per day.

Note

• Connector usage is counted at organization level, not at system level. A connector active on any system within your organization counts toward your total.
• Connectors developed by your team or a third party are not billed. Only connectors sourced from the Skyline Catalog count.

Examples

• Using 20 different connectors across a month, but with a maximum of 5 active at any given time = metered value of 5
• A deployment with 100 Cisco routers and 50 Juniper switches = 2 connectors

What does not affect this estimate

• Number of devices per connector: Whether a connector manages 1 or 10,000 endpoints of the same type, it counts as one.
• Custom or third-party connectors: Only Skyline Catalog connectors are billed.
