#### *Time Range* &#x20;

* **Predefined Range:** Quickly access relevant cost data by selecting a range such as “**Last 2 Weeks**” or “**Month-to-Date**”. &#x20;
* **Custom Range**: If you need to analyze costs over a specific period, define a custom date range to focus on the exact time frame. &#x20;

#### Granularity Level  &#x20;

You can aggregate cost data in three different ways, depending on the granularity you need for your analysis: &#x20;

* **Daily** &#x20;
* **Weekly** &#x20;
* **Monthly** &#x20;

## Key Metrics

The following metrics give you a clear overview of your savings progress and impact.

**Achieved Savings**

* The total savings you’ve realized through resource optimizations.

**Tickets Resolved**

* The number of cost-saving tickets you’ve resolved.

**Unique Resources Optimized**

* The number of distinct resources you’ve optimized to help reduce costs.

## Savings Breakdown

This section helps you see where your **Achieved Savings** have come from. The three pie charts display your savings broken down by:

1. **Service** – Shows which cloud services (e.g., EC2, S3, Lambda) contributed to your savings.
2. **Account** – Identifies which AWS accounts generated the savings.
3. **Region** – Highlights the regions where savings were realized.

### Deeper Analysis

Click the **Explore Breakdown** button in the top-right corner of any chart to view more detailed analysis for that dimension.

This opens a page with two views:

#### **Graph View**

* Track how your savings have evolved over time
* Switch between **Bar** or **Filled Area** charts
* Toggle between **Cumulative** (total savings over time) and **Distinct** (savings per time period) views.

{% hint style="success" %}

## **Hover Chart for Detailed Insights**

While exploring charts, <kbd>**hover over any area**</kbd> to instantly view detailed information for that segment.
{% endhint %}

#### **Table View**

* See detailed savings data by row
* Use the **Highlight** button in any row to highlight the corresponding data in the chart.

#### **Controls Your View**

At the top of the analysis page, you'll find controls to adjust what data is shown in both views:

* **Time Range**: Choose the timeframe to view your achieved savings
* **Granularity**: Decide whether you want to see the data grouped by day, week, or month.
* **Group By**: Switch between **Service**, **Account**, or **Region** to see savings from different perspectives.
* **Hide the Chart**: Toggle the chart visibility on or off depending on your preference for focusing on the table.

## Ticket Resolution Trend

Use this section to track how many cost-optimization tickets have been resolved across different dimensions and time periods.

### Group By

Choose how you want to break down the resolution trends:

* **By Overall**: View the total resolved tickets without segmentation.
* **By Region**: See where optimizations are happening across AWS regions.
* **By Service**: Understand which AWS services have the most resolved tickets.
* **By Account**: Compare ticket resolution activity by account.

### Chart Type

Customize how you view the trend visually:

* **Bar Chart**: Best for comparing ticket counts across categories.
* **Area Filled Chart**: Ideal for seeing overall trends and changes over time.

## Achieved Saving vs Cost Trend

The **Achieved Savings vs Cost Trend** section lets you compare your **Achieved Savings**, **Actual Costs**, and **Expected Costs** over your selected period.

### Graph Visual

* **Achieved Savings**: View your total realized savings over time with an area graph, showing how your optimizations have impacted costs.
* **Actual Costs**: Track the actual costs you’ve incurred, helping you see how spending changes over the selected time frame.
* **Expected Cost**: The expected cost line lets you compare what your costs should have been, based on your usage and historical data.

#### **View Customization**

**Chart Type Toggle**

* **Bar Chart**: Choose the bar chart to compare data across specific periods.
* **Filled Area**: Select the filled area view to see trends more visually over time.

**Cumulative vs Distinct View:**

### Deeper Analysis

When you want a more detailed analysis, click the **Explore** button at the top right corner of the chart. This will open a new page with two available views:

1. **Graph View**: The graph shows the Achieved Savings, Actual Costs, and Expected Costs over time.
2. **Table View**: Below the graph, you can view the same data in a tabular format for easier comparison of individual data points.

{% hint style="success" %}

## Note

By clicking the **highlight button** in a table row, the corresponding data for that row is shown in the graph above. This allows you to visually analyze specific data points in more detail.
{% endhint %}

#### **Shared Configuration Options**

The following configuration options are shared between both graph and table views:

* **Time Range**: Set the desired time period for the analysis.
* **Granularity Level**: Choose the level of detail (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly).
* **Hide the Chart**: Toggle the chart visibility on or off depending on your preference for focusing on the table.
