Google Cloud Platform. Analytics

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

Use the Analytics section to analyze the consumption of a Google Cloud Platform subscription by resource categories and resources. Information about the consumption of a Google Cloud Platform subscription includes two tabs:

• Actual — the final detailed consumption data by resource categories and resources:
  • Information about consumed resources is available in the daily and monthly granularity.
  • The following filters are available:
    • Resource category — the category of a resource on the Google side. 
    • Tags of resources — the 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 — the type of cost applied on the Google side: regular, tax, adjustment, or rounding error.
    • Project name — a project created by a customer on the Google side and associated with the resources.
    • Unit — the units of a resource on the Google side.

  • A consumption report is available for download.

• Upcoming expenses — 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 one color 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 Actual tab.

    Your reseller may activate automatic monitoring of consumption anomalies for all pay-as-you-go subscriptions. In this case, the platform compares the day-to-day difference in consumption for a subscription and notifies the Owner of an account about a significant consumption spike. In addition to the notifications, you can view information about the consumption spikes the platform detected: in the Daily cost structure chart and the Detected anomalies table in the Analytics section and on the Monitoring tab of a subscription details page.

  • Only the 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.
