Introduction:

For customers leveraging cloud services, maintaining efficient financial oversight is paramount. This guide is designed for Customer Portal users who require a concise, visual mechanism to monitor and analyze their recurring resource consumption.

Utilizing the NovaCloud Transactions interface, users can seamlessly generate a graphical breakdown of their spending. This process is essential for periodic financial reconciliation, allowing for proactive cost management and accurate resource allocation planning.

By navigating to the “OVERVIEW” tab within the Transactions section, users can access a monthly Charge Breakdown detailing expenditures across various services, including Volumes, Reserved IPs, Cloud Instances, Snapshots, and GPU Instances. The core objective of this process is met by utilizing the “VIEW AS CHART” button, which instantly translates these numerical charge details into an intuitive pie chart. This graphical presentation provides an immediate visual understanding of where points are being distributed across the deployed cloud infrastructure.
