Dashboard¶
The CloudVerse AI Dashboard gives you a high-level summary of cloud spend, optimization opportunities, anomaly signals, and platform activity — all in one view.
When to use it¶
Use the Dashboard for a daily FinOps health check, an executive briefing, or as a starting point before drilling into Cost Explorer or Recommendations.
Open the Dashboard¶
Select Dashboard in the product navigation.
What's on the Dashboard¶
| Section | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Spend summary | Total cost for the current period, comparison to prior period, and trend direction |
| Optimization signals | Count and potential value of active recommendations |
| Anomalies | Recent detected or predicted spend anomalies |
| Budget status | Budgets at risk of exceeding their limit |
| Provider announcements | Relevant cloud provider updates that may affect your costs |
How to use it¶
- Confirm the active organization in the account menu (top-right).
- Review summary cards — a change in spend or an anomaly alert is a prompt to investigate further.
- Click any card or drill-down link to open the relevant detail page (Cost Explorer, Recommendations, Anomalies, etc.).
- Check Cloud provider announcements when a service or pricing change may explain a cost movement.
Empty cards
A card showing no data can mean the underlying source is not yet connected, billing ingestion is still in progress, or the active organization scope has no matching records. See Missing or delayed data.
Best practices¶
- Treat the Dashboard as a signal layer — use it to identify a question, then verify it in Cost Explorer, Recommendations, or Anomaly Management.
- Compare currency and date range before sharing dashboard totals with stakeholders.
- Check provider announcements alongside anomaly alerts — pricing changes can look like unexpected spend spikes.
