Credit consumption and usage insights

CDP includes a user interface that allows you to monitor your credit consumption and download your consumption records.

CDP Public Cloud displays consumption data in terms of credits. A credit is a unit of consumption in CDP Public Cloud.

There is a two-day time delta for the consumption data showing up in the Consumption page. You should not expect to see data for consumption, which occurred within the past two days.

    Credits and Usage Insights
    • The Credits Burndown chart shows the credit used over a period of time.
    • The Usage Insights bar chart shows the total consumption of the services over a period of time.
    • The Clusters table shows the number of the number of credits used by the clusters, number of hours the cluster was running, and how many clusters belong to the specific services.
  3. Select a date range to display the consumption for a time period. The selected time period can be one month, three months, six months and one year in a daily or monthly view.
  4. Select tags to further filter the clusters in the environments for Usage Insights. The filter uses the user-level tags of the clusters. When selecting multiple tags, the clusters are displayed using OR logic. For example, if you select department=engineering and department=finance, the clusters will be shown on the Usage Insights that have a department tag value of engineering or finance.
  5. Select all or specific environments.

    You can view the Usage Insights of the clusters for all existing environments or select a specific one.

    1. Hover over a bar to display consumption information by services.

      Select or hide services that are displayed on the Usage Insights chart.

      Displaying the consumption information of the specific services associated with the environments can be enabled and disabled.

    2. Click on a bar to display consumption information by clusters.

      You can view credit and usage information of clusters that belong to all services or a specific service.

      Clusters can also be searched by providing their name in the search field.
