Creating a Cloudera Observability cost center
This topic describes the steps for creating a Cloudera Observability cost center. Cost centers separate costs across user or pool usage and track their workload resource consumption costs. They can be divided and/or grouped into members associated with a specific organization or group for helping you assign actual consumption charges to a user’s department.
