Chargeback

Overview​

Chargeback lets you visualize the cost allocation of Service Accounts on a few key metrics.

info

At the moment, the data is aggregated per Service Account and the available metrics collected are the produced and consumed bytes.
We plan to add more features over time. Let us know how you want to aggregate your data or which features are important to you.

Chargeback data can be viewed from the perspective of Overall Cost, Ingress or Egress. Cost is user configured $ per byte, more below.

  • Overall Cost displays the total dollar cost by adding together the Ingress + Egress costs
  • Ingress shows the produced data per Service Account, by cost, percentage or bytes
  • Egress shows the consumed data per Service Account, by cost, percentage or bytes

The measured period can be changed from 7D, 30D, 6M, 12M, or YTD (Year To Date).

The configuration button lets you configure the Dollar cost of a Produced GB and a Consumed GB. This allows you to align the chargeback model with your specific infrastructure costs.
