Improvement
Resource identifiers now available in Cloud Analytics
By Eric Moakley
Cloud Analytics now includes resource-level dimensions from Google Cloud's detailed billing export, enabling deeper visibility into individual cost drivers mapped to specific compute resources.
We are excited to announce that Cloud Analytics now contains additional resource level data for Google Cloud!
Until recently Cloud Reporting in the CMP used the google standard billing export from BigQuery as its primary reporting dataset. With this change, we are now using the detailed billing export which contains additional data. Most notably, our data now contains several new dimensions that can be added to reports:
Resource
A service-specific identifier for the resource that generated relevant usage. This can be input generated by the user
★ Note: resource data is only available from August 11, 2021
Global Resource
A globally unique service identifier for the resource that generated relevant usage.
More information on the raw data from Google can be found here
This data is available today to increase your ability to understand individual cost drivers and map that directly to your compute resources!
Additionally, the consumption of this more detailed data artifact will allow us to more quickly release newer features from Google as they are added.
