Unfortunately, Google Analytics (Universal Analytics) does not explicitly provide these specific metrics (active storage, long-term storage, streaming inserts, streaming reads). However, you can estimate them based on your website or app’s usage data. For example, the storage (active and long-term) would be related to how much data your analytics is capturing and storing. This can depend on factors such as the number of users on your site, number of events tracked, and how long you’re storing the data. As for streaming inserts and streaming reads, these are more about how frequently you are sending data to and from BigQuery. But keep in mind these are just estimates and the actual cost can be different. You might want to contact Google Cloud Support for more personalized and accurate cost estimation.
