Default Dashboard Overview

The purpose of the Home Page is to give you a high level overview of your spend trends. In addition, it's intended to give you away to easily explore different areas of your cloud spend, detect optimizations visually, and identify which area they are coming from. This coupled with the feature that allows you to share a snapshot (through a shareable URL link), gives you the ability to collaborate and take action.

The meters:

  • Monthly Spend To Date: Your gross monthly spend to date. The percentage shows your increase or decrease in spend this month to-date vs last month to-date.
  • Last Month Total Spend: Your gross spend last month
  • Savings Opportunities - this aggregates the potential savings from our Compute, Kubernetes and Storage Optimization Sections. Note: this is giving you a theoretical maximum if everything that is recommended were to be implemented. Read more how Compute, Kubernetes and Storage Optimizations work in Ternary here.

Scoped Views and Share

Scoped Views allow you to apply a particular view with data filtered based on your business requirements and data taxonomy. For example, you may create a scoped view of Business Unit with a particular set of Project IDs associated to the Business Unit. By applying that Scoped View, the data on the corresponding Reports and Home Page Meters will be filtered to that set of Project IDs.

For more information on Scoped Views, please see our supporting documentation: https://ternaryapp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4474925647255-Scoped-Views

The share functionality allows you to share the specific unique URL to the Dashboard.
