We are happy to announce the new Usage dashboard for ScyllaDB Cloud!
It replaces the previous usage view, and it is built on the Metering API we shipped recently - so it answers the same questions that API answers, without writing a single request. It is also considerably faster than the view it replaces, and it shows more: compute, network and backup side by side, each broken down further than before. And we are not done - more data is on its way to the page in the coming releases.
What it shows
Five charts, grouped by resource:
Compute
- Node Hours Over Time - how long your nodes ran, in node-hours, split by cluster, datacenter and instance type
- Nodes Over Time - how many nodes were running, , split by cluster, datacenter and instance type
Backup
- Backup Storage Over Time - backup storage held
- Backup Requests Over Time - request counts, split by request tier
Network
- Network Usage Over Time - traffic amount, split by traffic type
Every chart has a legend you can toggle, so you can isolate a single cluster, datacenter or instance type without changing the filters.
Narrowing it down
The controls across the top apply to every chart at once:
| Control | Notes |
|---|---|
| Date range | Any period. Daily data goes back a year; hourly is available for roughly the last month. |
| Cluster | One, several, or all clusters in the account |
| DC | Narrow to a single datacenter |
| Granularity | Daily or hourly |
Press Refresh after changing them and the charts redraw.
Who can see it
Users with the ADMIN role on the account.
Worth knowing
- Network and backup data arrives with a delay. These figures are not final until a few days after the fact, so we publish them only once they have settled rather than showing numbers that would change later. The banner at the top of the page always tells you the exact date collection currently runs through, so a short flat tail on those charts is the delay, not a drop in usage. Compute is current.
- Network and backup data starts 1 May 2026. Charts covering earlier dates show nothing for those two resource families. That is the start of the data, not a drop in usage - expect them to appear from May onward when looking at a longer trend.
- BYOA clusters show compute only. For Bring Your Own Account deployments, network and backup are handled through your own cloud provider account, and the dashboard says so inline.
- Hourly granularity covers a recent window. For anything older, use daily.
