Project Cost vs. Price

The VM Cost vs. Price Dashboard helps you to analyze the relationship between cost and price for VMs managed by VMware Aria Automation. You can use this dashboard to ensure the price of VMs for chargeback is sufficient to cover the cost of running virtual machines.

How to Use the Dashboard

• Select a Project allows selection of a group of VMs to analyze. The Select a Deployment widget allows you to select deployments under the project, followed by the price/cost metrics.
• Summary (Month to Date) shows the month to date price and cost.
• VMs of the Selected Deployment (Select to View Trend) shows all VMs in the selected group with their Month to Date Cost, Today's Cost, Month to Date Price, and Today's Price.
• Daily Cost and Daily Price trend chart shows both cost and price over time.
