You already know the power and precision of our time-based filters in DoiT Cloud Intelligence™ . Today, we're excited to announce that we've extended this capability to your custom dashboards.

Now, you can use a time filter to instantly update every widget on a dashboard. This enhancement lets you zero in on a specific timeframe for your analysis, ensuring all your graphs and reports are perfectly synchronized. No more clicking into individual widgets or reports to analyze specific time frames, just a single, unified view.

By bringing DoiT Cloud Intelligence date filtering to the dashboard level, you can accelerate your analysis and make data-driven decisions faster.

Zero In on Cost Anomalies

When a cost spike occurs, open your custom dashboard and use the time filter to isolate that specific time period. Every widget will quickly update, giving you a complete, multi-faceted view of what happened across all services, helping you find the root cause in seconds.

Accelerate Reporting Cycles

Simplify your showback and reporting process. If you have a dashboard of reports set to "Last Quarter," but want to broaden your view, the new time filters quickly let you do this across all of your widgets.

Validate Optimization Efforts

Easily measure the impact of a recent migration or optimization project. Toggle the dashboard's view between the timeframes before and after the change to get an immediate, consistent comparison of your costs and usage patterns.

Your Home Dashboard now includes four new widgets to complement your existing optimization widgets to give you a complete financial picture for faster decision-making.

What's added:

1. Current month spend: See exactly where you stand with real-time spend data for the current month.
2. Current month forecast: View projected costs based on your current usage patterns to anticipate your month-end spending.
3. Current month savings: Track your realized savings from Flexsave, Spot Scaling, and PerfectScale (coming soon).
4. Security insights: Get visibility into security risks requiring attention, with recommendations for access control, encryption, identity management, and compliance.

With the additional context added to your Home Dashboard, you can better identify what needs attention and prioritize your optimization efforts.

Find your updated dashboard by clicking Home in the top navigation (or whenever you log in to the DoiT console).

We’ve updated Cloud Diagrams to include AWS cost data and heatmaps highlighting your most expensive resources. Now you can see not just how your cloud infrastructure is built, but how much each component costs. 

With cost data available directly in your infrastructure diagrams, you’ll be able to view expensive resources in the context of their architectural dependencies and understand how costs flow through your infrastructure.

Here’s what’s new:

Costs view: Click on any infrastructure component to access detailed cost data, trends, and breakdowns alongside its properties and any groupings (security groups, regions, VPCs, subnets) it’s associated with.

Cost heatmap: Highlight your diagram’s most expensive components over customizable time periods to identify optimization opportunities and understand spending patterns across your architecture.

With cost data accessible from your diagrams, you’ll be able to:

• Optimize costs with full context: The heatmap shows you where to focus optimization efforts while ensuring you understand dependencies before making changes.
• Make architecture decisions with business impact in mind: Understand the financial impact of infrastructure components to make more informed architectural decisions.
• Align teams around shared cost visibility: Finance and engineering teams can now discuss costs while looking at the same architectural view, eliminating potential translation barriers between billing data and technical infrastructure.

Cloud Diagrams is available for all AWS customers on the DoiT Cloud Intelligence Enhanced or Enterprise tiers, as well as on the DoiT Cloud Navigator Enhanced, Premium or Enterprise tiers.

We have simplified the customer journey to request DoiT cloud expert advice to resolve your cost anomalies as they arise. Now, you can initiate a request for expert advice directly from the cost anomaly detail screen by clicking “Contact a human expert.” Once the support ticket is created, it can be tracked via view requests screen.

Why this matters for you:

Consulting-first mindset
DoiT's experts are on-hand 24/7 to get to the root cause of the anomaly, provide prescriptive actions to resolve the issue, and suggest architectural changes to prevent it from recurring. 

One-click simplicity
Clicking the contact button on the anomaly page brings you directly to the ticket creation screen, with the pertinent details of the anomaly already populated along with the standard option to schedule a 15-minute initial assessment call. 

The ability to consult with DoiT cloud experts is available for customers on the DoiT Cloud Intelligence Enhanced or Enterprise tiers, and those who have an active Cloud Navigator Enhanced, Premium and Enterprise subscription. Customers without a paid subscription can also raise individual tickets at a flat rate of $750 each.

Getting timely and effective support is crucial—and we’re always looking for ways to make that easier for you. 

That’s why we’ve redesigned the support experience by deeply integrating Ava, our intelligent AI assistant, into the request process. This upgrade replaces the traditional multi-field form with a streamlined, single-page experience. 

Just describe your issue in plain language and Ava will pre-fill key fields based on what you enter, as well as prompt you to provide additional information if she thinks it’ll help resolve your issue or question faster.

• Simplified input: No more navigating dozens of fields and multiple pages. Now you can submit an expert inquiry request from a single page.
• Automatic classification & prioritization: Ava interprets your message to pre-fill key fields like severity, cloud platform, and product. You can always review and adjust.
• Context-aware guidance for faster resolution: Ava proactively identifies the technical details needed (such as ARNs, instance IDs, or resource names) while you're writing your ticket description. This eliminates time-consuming back-and-forth exchanges, dramatically speeding up the resolution process.

Ready to experience the new support flow? Select Expert inquiry from the top navigation bar next time you have a cloud-related issue or question you’d like our Customer Reliability Engineers or Product Support team to help you with.

DoiT Cost Anomaly Detection has added a new enhancement to simplify your anomaly management workflow. Previously, you could acknowledge anomalies, categorize them, and add comments directly within the console. Now, we’re bringing this functionality to your Slack!

Anomaly acknowledgment is a crucial step in managing your alerts—by marking anomalies as acknowledged, you can easily track which issues have been addressed and which still require attention. This ensures you stay on top of what needs resolution and helps avoid overlooking critical alerts.

With this new update, when you receive an anomaly notification via Slack, you can acknowledge, categorize, and add comments directly from the notification itself—no need to navigate to the console. This update saves you time and helps you stay on top of important alerts faster, all from the convenience of your Slack channel. Below are some of the screens:

Cloud billing can get complex, and unexpected costs can catch you off guard. Now, you can be notified whenever a new SKU appears in your billing data—helping you stay informed, avoid surprises, and take control of your cloud spend.

This new notification type enables you to:

• Stay ahead of changes: Get alerts for new SKUs that could impact costs.
• Flexible delivery: You can choose how to receive alerts—via Slack, Email, Microsoft Teams, or directly in the app.

How it works?

• A new SKU is defined as one that has not appeared in your billing data for at least three months.
• Subscribers can configure how and where to receive these alerts.

You can manage or unsubscribe from this notification anytime in the Governance section under Notification Settings in the Notification Center.
