Chargeback report for job runs

  1. From the Chargeback Type drop-down on the upper-right, select either Cluster or JobRun.

  2. Click schedule.png and select a time range to view the chargeback reports. You can select any of the preset time ranges (Last 7 days, Last 14 days, Last 30 days) or select a custom time range, which can be between 1 day (min) and 90 days (max)

  3. From the Filter By drop-down, select any of the following options:

    • Workspace (default)

    • User

    • Clusters

    • Tags

      A tag comprises a key and a value. You must specify both the key and the value for each tag.

  4. From the adjacent dropdown, you can drill down to a specific filter item to view the trend graph. For example, if you have selected the User filter earlier, you can select user1, user2, user3, etc. You can choose a maximum of up to 5 such filter values.

  5. Select any of the following Group By options. A Group by determines the category against which the total Chargeback cost of a selected Filter By option is calculated and organized.

    • User

    • Workspace

    • Cluster

    • Tag key

    For example, when you select a Filter by option as Workspaces and the group by option as Users, then the chargeback is computed for only the selected workspaces and then grouped by users.

    The details of the Cluster chargeback report are displayed in the following formats:

    • Donut charts: The donut charts show the chargeback results for the DBUs, Clusters/JobRuns, and Cost.

      Hover over a donut section to see the slice name, the value, and the percentage in the whole.

      Note

      There are times when a cluster/job run cannot be grouped by the selected option. In such cases, they are listed as NULL.

    • Tables: The chargeback report details are displayed in a table based on the selected Group By option.
