Include Subtotals in Cloud Cost Reports

With Subtotals, you can now aggregate metrics for each grouping level you add in Reports. This allows you to quickly understand how each category contributes to the total of your bill while still seeing the granularity. You can enable this by simply toggling the "Include subtotals" checkbox in the Group by section:

Enhancing Cloud Cost Anomaly Detection with Resources

We are thrilled to announce an important update to one of our most popular features - Cloud Cost Anomaly Detection.

Until recently, the DoiT Console displayed the anomalies, with a breakdown of the GCP or AWS services making the most contribution to the anomaly. While this has been helpful for general Root Cause Analysis, we understand that more granular insights can provide an even better understanding of cost anomalies and what resources are driving the costs up.

The new version shows the SKUs contributing to the cost anomaly and the Resources associated with those SKUs. This enhancement will enable you to identify the specific resources that have caused an anomaly, improving your ability to manage and control cloud costs more effectively.

For example, this is how we were displaying anomalies until today. You can clearly see an anomaly with Amazon CloudWatch USW2-DataProcessing-Bytes, but there is no information on what caused this big spike in CloudWatch usage.

However, with this release, we are also displaying the Resources contributing to the anomaly, in this case, AWS RDS PostgreSQL instance prod-db-us-west-2.

We believe this update will streamline your anomaly incident management process by offering a more holistic view of cost anomalies, thereby aiding you in making informed decisions swiftly. By understanding what has led to an unexpected increase in cost, you can now drill down to the root cause and take appropriate actions more promptly.

More information about Cost Anomalies is in our Help Center.

Improved Top/Bottom filter

If you deal with large amounts of data when exploring reports, you can improve the readability of your reports using the improved Top/Bottom filter.

This filter allows you to only show only the Top or Bottom results for each grouping, based on a metric of your selection. It also gives you the ability to aggregate all the remaining items in 1 line, to aggregate them per each grouping level, or to simply hide it.

For example, if you wanted to explore Cost for the Top 5 Services and Top 3 accounts, but still show the rest aggregated per grouping, you would set the filter up like follows:

This will show the following output format:

If you choose to "aggregate all together" instead, you will see the following result:

This improvement to the Top/Bottom filter will allow you to focus on the biggest cost sources without losing sight of the total spend. We look forward to your feedback on this improvement to the Top/Botton filter!

Configure User Organizations via iDP

If you're using Single Sign-On (SSO) to access the DoiT Platform, you can further streamline your process by managing user organizations directly from your Identity Provider (IdP). This enhancement provides a greater command over data segmentation in the DoiT Console.

A Quick Refresher on Organizations

Organizations on the DoiT Platform provide the functionality for users to create distinct data segments, promoting a targeted Cloud Analytics experience. These organizations represent your company's structure, business units, and user data access within the DoiT Console.

How to Start?

Assign users to organizations simply by setting the 'doit_platform_org_id' attribute in your Identity Provider (IdP). If not set, no organization will be assigned, and the user will be placed in the root organization. There is more information available in the Help Center.

This feature aims to boost your control over data and user management. Your feedback is always welcome!
