The Usage Graph tab in the recently announced Usage Dashboard answers how much you used.
The Detailed Usage tab we’ve just released answers where it came from - which clusters, which nodes, which network groups, on which days.
What it is
The Detailed Usage tab consists of a table of every usage record in your account for the period you have selected - compute, network and backup in one place, rather than three charts you read in turn.
- It follows the filter bar. The period and clusters you pick at the top of the Usage page drive the table, the same way they drive the charts.
- Sort and filter on any dimension, across several fields at once - narrow to one region, one instance type, one network group, or any combination of them.
- Export to CSV. One click gives you every row matching your current filters, ready for Excel, Sheets, or whatever you do your cost analysis in.
It is the same data as the API
The dashboard is built on the Metering API - the same API you can call yourself with a bearer token from a user with the ADMIN role. The charts, this table, and a curl against the endpoint all return the same numbers. There is nothing to reconcile between them.
So if you already pull the API into your own tooling, this tab is not a second source of truth. It is the same source, for the times you would rather not write anything.
Usage, not charges
As before: this reports how much you used, not what you were charged. These figures are not your invoice, and they are produced by a different system. If you have a billing question, contact support the way you normally would.
