Google Cloud Platform. "Analytics" section

The Analytics section is used to analyze the consumption of the Google Cloud Platform service by Resource categories and Resources. The consumption data is for informational purposes only and cannot be used as the basis for payments.

Information about consumed resources is always displayed in English and may differ from the language of the Customer Control Panel.

For the general description of the Analytics section, see -Subscription analytics in the Customer Control Panel guide.

For a Google Cloud Platform Subscription, the Analytics section includes two tabs:

  • Previous periods — detailed consumption data by Resource categories and Resources:
    • Information about consumed Resources is available both in the Daily and Monthly granularity.
    • In the section with filters, the following data filters are available:
      • Resource category — category of a resource on the Google side. 
      • Tags of resources — tags of a resource on the Google side.
      • Adjustment info — if present, indicates a modification of the consumption amount made on the Google billing side.
      • Cost type — type of cost applied on the Google side: regular, tax, adjustment, or rounding error.

  • Current consumption — temporary non-detailed consumption data (draft Charges):
    • Information about consumed Resources is available in the Daily cost structure bar chart only. All bars are displayed in grey because there is no data per Resource categories and Resources. At the beginning of the next Billing period Google provides detailed consumption data. The draft Charges are deleted, and the final Charges are generated. The final detailed consumption data is displayed on the Previous periods tab.
    • In the section with filters, only the Billing period filter is available:
      • Current and previous — displaying the data for the current and previous Billing periods (by default).
      • Current — displaying the data for the current Billing period only. Selected by default and other options are not available if there is no data for the previous period.
      • Previous — displaying the data for the previous Billing period only.

If there is no non-detailed consumption data for a Subscription, the Analytics section displays information of the Previous periods tab only, and the titles of the Previous periods and Current consumption tabs are hidden.
