View Cost Saving Opportunities Reports
Cloud Cost Management (CCM) includes Default reports for Cost Saving Opportunities (CSO). You can view or email reports that contain CSO recommendations. However, you cannot directly modify a CSO report. You can view reports with a read-only role.
Although the Default report settings cannot be modified, you can apply policy settings to the reports to set constraints for the report output. Creating policies requires an administrator role.
About This Task
To complete this task, you must select a report filter and then edit and save the report settings.
Prerequisites
You should be familiar with the use of tags and attributes in CCM before creating or editing reports. See Filtering in Virtana Platform and Filtering and Grouping Options for more information.
Note
Virtana Platform reports display currency only in US dollars (USD}. To accurately reflect costs, ensure your data sources have the currency display set to US dollars in the AWS or Azure portal. For Azure, see Set the Currency Option in Azure to USD.
