We've rolled out a significant update to the filtering and grouping features within our reporting tools that should simplify and expedite your cloud cost and usage reporting journey.

Direct Search Input

You can now enter any service name, SKU, or label value directly into the filter or group-by fields. The system automatically identifies and applies the appropriate category for your input to your report settings. This eliminates the need to manually search through categories or remember specific taxonomy distinctions like "EC2" for Services versus "ComputeSP" for SKUs.

Label Matching

For label values, the need to specify the corresponding label key is removed. Inputting a value such as "production" or "matt_k" is enough; our system will match it to the correct key. This reduces the overhead of knowing exact label structures and speeds up the configuration process.

In the example above, we are grouping the cost directly by selecting label values starting with "alloydb-proxy"

Selection Count Display

Both filter and group-by widgets now show the number of items you've selected. This feature provides immediate feedback on the scope of your reports and assists in managing complex data sets.

Availability:

Available to customers on all DoiT Cloud Navigator tiers, including Standard, Enhanced, Premium and Enterprise.
