Configuring the Cloudera Observability cost center criteria

This feature defines cost centers based on certain criteria. Configure your Cloudera Observability Cost Center settings by designating your cost center resource usage across users and pools and defining the unit resource consumption costs.

The Cloudera Observability Cost Center calculates user and pool costs based on CPU, GPU, memory, data read and written consumption. You decide the CPU, GPU, and Memory unit rates using your internal pricing or cost model.
