Cloud SQL Visibility Summary

Purpose: This section is designed to give you a high level overview of what you're spending on CloudSQL today.

Measures:

  • Last Month Total Spend: This your total CloudSQL spend last month. This is gross cost and does not include any discounts you receive.
  • Monthly Spend to Date: This is your total CloudSQL spend month-to-date for the current month. The percentage represents the difference between your current month-to-date spend compared last months-to-date spend. This is gross cost and does not include any discounts you receive.
  • Forecasted Spend: This is a projection of your total CloudSQL spend by the end of the current month. The percentage represents what your projected spend will be this month compared to last month.
  • DB Storage Used: The amount of database storage used and the amount allocated.

Cost and Usage Graphs

Aggregate Costs Graph

Dimension Groupings:

  • All: Total CloudSQL spend, by day, for all databases in all projects
  • Project ID: Total CloudSQL spend grouped by Project ID
  • Database Type: Total CloudSQL spend grouped by database engine
  • Region: Total CloudSQL spend per Region

Usage Graph

Dimension Groupings:

  • CPU: Total amount of provisioned and used DB cores
  • Disk: Total amount of provisioned and used DB storage
  • Memory: Total amount of provisioned and used DB RAM
  • Network: Total amount of network traffic in and out

Instance and Family Table

Measures:

  • Classification: Database engine type and region grouped
  • Project ID: Project that the database is running in
    CPU&RAM Cost: Total cost for Cores and RAM grouped by classification and project
  • Memory utilization: Average of all the memory utilization / # of db instances
  • Provisioned Byes: Total amount of provisioned storage
  • Avg Used Bytes: Average amount of used storage
  • Total Cost: All costs of running the associated DB instance (RAM, CPU, Network, Storage, etc)

View Instances Report

View Instances table

Once you select a particular row, it will filter the table to all the instances in that associated row and populate the table.

Measures:

  • Instance ID: Name of DB instance
  • Provisioned CPU: Amount of provisioned Cores for the DB
  • Max CPU Util: Max CPU percentage utilized over the time period
  • Provisioned RAM: Amount of provisioned RAM for the DB
  • Max RAM util: Max RAM percentage utilized over the time period
  • Provisioned Disk: Amount of provisioned Disk for the DB
  • Max Disk Util: Maximum disk usage for the DB

CloudSQL Optimization Summary


Before diving into what the recommendation insights numbers are, it is important to know the different types of recommendations that are potentially surfaced in Ternary for GCP CloudSQL:

  • Terminate Idle Database Instance: Nothing is connecting to this database and it is most likely not doing anything at all. Check that it is being accessed and is still useful to your applications, and terminate if it is not doing anything.
  • Downgrade Database Instance Class: The database instance is over-provisioned. Consider downsizing to the next available instance type.

Measures:

  • Current Recommendations: Total amount of savings available across all recommendations. Active represent recommendations that do not have a status of "Snooze". Snoozed represents recommendations that have a status of "Snooze" set by a user for any reason.
  • Past Recommendations: Total amount of previous recommendations available across all statuses available in Ternary (these are historical recommendations). Includes recommendations with a status of Implemented, Inaccurate or As-designed after discussion with your engineering team and the appropriate status assigned to the recommendation in ternary.
  • Total Current Recommendations: Total number of current recommendations available.
  • Total MTD spend: Total gross CloudSQL spend month to date. The percentage represents your amount of MTD spend compared against this time last month.

CloudSQL Recommendation table

Measures:

  • ID: Unique ID of the recommendation in the Ternary platform. Each recommendation will have a unique ID for reference later.
  • Recommendation type: The type of recommendation (Please see above for a description of possible recommendations).
  • Resource (and Account): Unique resource name and associated Account it exists in.
  • Open: Whether the recommendation has a status of New
  • Status: Status of the recommendation, as assigned in the Ternary platform. Possible values: New, Accepted, As-Designed, Implemented, and Inaccurate.
  • Created On: The date that the recommendation was created in the Ternary database.
  • Potential Savings: Potential savings if the recommendation is actioned.

When you click on any one of the Table Rows, you'll see a pop up appear:

Details of a single recommendation. You can also snooze a recommendation for a specific period of time or set a particular status.
