Reporting & Alerting

The Reports & Alerting feature not only provides you with timely alerts and notifications via email or Slack but also offers a range of insightful reports. For instance, you can receive cost reports that categorize data by service, linked account, region, instance type, or usage type, all customizable with various filters to suit your specific needs.

Accessing Reports History:​

Upon entering this section, you'll encounter the "Reports History." Here, reports are systematically organized in a tabular format, presenting essential details such as Report Name, dispatch date, associated cloud provider, and recipients for email and Slack notifications. To enhance your search experience, you can utilize the search bar for keywords, apply various filters, or sort reports by specific time intervals, such as the last 7 days or the previous month.

Creating a New Report​

To initiate a new report, simply click the "+Create New Report" button located in the upper right corner of the page. This action initiates a two-step process:

Creating a New Report
