Data Center Usage Dashboard
The Resource Usage page provides real-time visibility into how resources are being consumed across your business units. It is especially useful for tracking on-premises infrastructure metered through Amberflo and understanding usage trends over time.
This page allows you to explore data across all meters in your environment and filter by business unit, dimensions, and time periods to surface the most relevant insights.
Overview
To access the page, navigate to Resource Usage under the IT Spend Analytics section of the platform. Or use this link. By default, the page opens on the Summary tab.
The Summary tab displays usage trends for up to eight meters at a time. Each graph shows the usage over the last 7 days. You can adjust the timeframe or refine your view by selecting:
- Resource Meters: Choose which meters to display
- Business Unit: Filter usage by a specific business unit
- Date Range: Choose from 7, 14, or 30 days
Click View Detail on any graph to open the Detail view for that specific meter.
Detail View
The Detail tab gives you more advanced tools to break down and analyze usage data for a selected meter. From here, you can:
- Business Units:
- Select Business Units: Choosing business units from the drop down will filter the data and only show data for the selected business units. By default it will show the data for all business units.
- Total Across business Units: This will aggregate the data for the business units selected.
- Group by Business Unit: Choosing this will seperate the data based on business unit and you will see entries on the graph and rows on the table for each business unit you have selected or all of them by default.
- View Totals or Breakdowns: Choose whether to show total usage across all selected business units or a separate breakdown by each.
- Add Dimensions: Add one or more dimensions to group usage data (for example, by model or team_id). You can also filter specific dimension values.
- Adjust Time Aggregation: Choose how to group data over time: Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
- Select Date Range: Options include 7, 30, 60, and 90 days, or you can define a custom date range.
- Select Chart Type: Choose how you want the data visualized:
- Line Chart (default)
- Bar Chart
- Horizontal Bar
- Stacked Bar
Below the graph, a table displays the results of your query. Each row represents a specific business unit or grouping based on selected dimensions, while columns represent the chosen aggregation period. The table includes percentage change indicators to help highlight usage trends.
Export and Save Views
You can export the data at any time by clicking Export CSV in the upper right. You also have the option to Save View to preserve specific filters and chart configurations for later analysis.
