Unique Resource Optimized metrics
You have the flexibility to configure the data you see with several options:
Start with the default view for a quick overview or switch to a custom view to tailor the dashboard layout and focus.
Predefined Range: Quickly access relevant cost data by selecting a range such as “Last 2 Weeks” or “Month-to-Date”.
Custom Range: If you need to analyze costs over a specific period, define a custom date range to focus on the exact time frame.
You can aggregate cost data in three different ways, depending on the granularity you need for your analysis:
Daily
Weekly
Monthly
Narrow down the data by applying various filters:
Account ID: Focus on a specific AWS account.
Region: Limit results to a particular AWS region.
Service: Select an individual AWS service.
Change Type:
Application Changes: Updates to app components.
Config Changes: Infrastructure-level adjustments.
Decommissioning: Terminating unused resources.
Scheduling: Time-based cost-saving actions.
Cost Saving Category: Filter by the nature of the savings opportunity.
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.
This section helps you see where your Achieved Savings have come from. The three pie charts display your savings broken down by:
Service – Shows which cloud services (e.g., EC2, S3, Lambda) contributed to your savings.
Account – Identifies which AWS accounts generated the savings.
Region – Highlights the regions where savings were realized.
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:
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.
While exploring charts, hover over any area to instantly view detailed information for that segment.
See detailed savings data by row
Use the Highlight button in any row to highlight the corresponding data in the chart.
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.
Use this section to track how many cost-optimization tickets have been resolved across different dimensions and time periods.
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.
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.
The Achieved Savings vs Cost Trend section lets you compare your Achieved Savings, Actual Costs, and Expected Costs over your selected period.
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.
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:
Cumulative: Choose this view to see accumulated savings and costs over time.
Distinct: Select this option to view data for individual time periods without accumulation.
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:
Graph View: The graph shows the Achieved Savings, Actual Costs, and Expected Costs over time.
Table View: Below the graph, you can view the same data in a tabular format for easier comparison of individual data points.
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.
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.
