Business Applications Cost vs. Price

The Business Applications showback, chargeback, and cost vs. price dashboard helps analyze the relationship between the cost and pricing of VMs. Use this dashboard to ensure that the chargeback prices for VMs are adequate to cover their operational costs.

How to Use the Dashboard

• The Select a Group widget lets you select a group of VMs to analyze.
• The Summary (Month to Date) widget shows the month to date price and cost.
• The Members of the Group (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.
• The Daily Cost and Daily Price trend chart shows both cost and price over time.

Note: Objects are not displayed correctly if the widget configuration is not complete. You must complete the object list widget configuration before you can edit the widget.
