Use Hyperglance to create budgets, keep track of spend and receive alerts
Hyperglance allows you to define as many budgets as you need across any subset of your cloud spend. You can define fixed term (start til end) budgets or you can define rolling monthly budgets.
To get started click on the Budget Designer tab:
Choose between a fixed or rolling budget:
Use the cost filters to isolate a subset of your cloud spend for this budget:
Input the budgeted amount and currency:
Note: If you have multiple currencies across your environments a budget will only track spend pertaining that the matching currency. The currency chosen here essentially acts like another cost filter.
Use the threshold section set one more thresholds. Click the + and - buttons to add and remove thresholds to the bar. You will be alerted about the progress when the consumption crosses these thresholds:
