What you see
- KPI tiles — total spend plus a breakdown by service category (compute, database, storage, network, integration, analytics, web) for the selected period, with month-over-month deltas.
- Trend chart — spend over time, with a day / month grain toggle.
- Region × service heatmap — where spend concentrates across regions and services.
- Top SKUs — the costliest line items at a glance.
- Department / business report — top resources by cost, split across your business segments.
- Insight Panel — a plain-language narrative of what’s driving the current view (see Insights).
Day, month, and date range
The dashboard works over whatever window you choose:- Day — a single calendar day.
- Month — a calendar month, aggregated from daily data.
- Date range — any arbitrary start-to-end window.
Under the hood, Koala keeps a pre-aggregated daily rollup and computes months and ranges from it at request time, so charts stay fast even over long histories. Rollups refresh automatically after each ingestion run.
