Getting Started with Reports

What Are Interactive Reports

Interactive Reports are one of the fundamental ways of interacting with the Tanzu CloudHealth platform. You can create both high-level summary reports, as well as, detailed multi-dimensional reports that answer questions about usage, infrastructure inventory, performance, availability, security and cost across your cloud environment.

Why Use Interactive Reports

Using interactive reports, you can create visual and tabular reports by selecting a combination of Measures, Dimensions, Perspectives and Groups. These reports can help you correlate data sets for analysis and reporting against business objectives.

Both executive and management teams can use interactive reports to evaluate cloud infrastructure events, trends and projections to improve cost, availability and performance optimization.

Standard Reports

Standard reports are predefined reports that are available in the Tanzu CloudHealth platform across all topics: cost, usage, performance, metrics, audit, and security. There are a wide variety of standard reports to help you quickly use and get value from the Tanzu CloudHealth platform.

Saved Reports

Saved reports are reports that individual users create and customize to meet specific organizational reporting requirements and metric tracking. Saved reports can be made private and viewable only by the user who created them, or made public and available to the user’s organization.

Features of Interactive Reports

Features of visual Tanzu CloudHealth reports and how to use them

Report Legend

A legend of all items that a report is showing is displayed at the top of the report. To use the legend:

Click each legend item to remove it from the chart
Shift+Click to isolate that one legend item
Scroll through pages of legend items using the arrow

Y-Axis Measures

Y-Axis measures provide key infrastructure values and amounts for the dimensions and operating metrics. Multiple Y-Axis measures can be chosen if the measures are in the same family and can be displayed on the same scale.

When using multiple measures, be careful when interpreting the visualization and table data provided, as it may not be appropriate to add the two measures together. For example, displaying On Demand Cost and Total Cost in the same report can cause problems in interpretation. Instead, analyze the data side by side.

Dimensions

Dimensions are independent variables that you can select to create visual and tabular reports for analyses. You can select not only X-Axis and Y-Axis variables but also a category that allows you to correlate complex data sets.

Dimensions are dependent on the type of report that is defined. Not all dimensions are available for all reports.

Universal Dimensions

There are several dimensions that are universal across the Tanzu CloudHealth platform. These include: Time, Account, Location (Region/Availability Zone), and Perspectives. These Universal Dimensions are available from the X-Axis, Category, and Filter menus.

Time Interval

Time Interval can only be mapped on the X-Axis and is ordered by the interval you select: hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly.

The monthly time interval is rolling, meaning a report shows the current month’s data, even in the middle of the current month. The hourly, daily, and weekly are not rolling and show data from only the latest complete time interval.

Visualizations are displayed with the most recent period to the right (the time progresses from left to right). The tabular data time order can be switched by selecting the toggle, with the default being most recent to the left.

X-Axis

The X-Axis dropdown allows you to change the dimension being displayed and can provide various data analytical views of the information when used in combination with filters and categories.

Types of Charts

Modes of visualizing information in the Tanzu CloudHealth platform

Tanzu CloudHealth provides several types of charts from which you can choose when creating your reports. The default chart type is a bar chart. Switch between different chart types to create a report that best meets your requirements. The chart options available are determined by the dimensions selected from the drop downs.

Chart types options are dependent on the type of report that is defined. Not all chart types are available for all reports.

Bar

Bar charts are best for comparing totals or percentages for the Dimension you have as a Category.

Depending on your Y-Axis selection, bar charts can provide good breakdown of the topics you are researching both as a stacked or Grouped view. On the X-Axis each bar is separated by blank space so the dimension being shown will be separated along the X-Axis and in the data table.

A bar chart limits the number of categories shown in visualization to 26, grouping any additional ones in the final category. A horizontal bar chat may be more helpful when displaying large numbers of categories

Horizontal Bar

The horizontal bar chart is best for comparing data with many categories all in one chart.

Line

Line charts are best for tracking of data over time. They can also be used to compare two or more variables.

Area

Area charts are similar to line charts and work best when tracking data over time.

Pie

Pie charts are best used to illustrate a breakdown in a single dimension, such as when you want to show proportions within groups based on one variable.

You can only visualize report data in a pie chart when you do not have a time period (Hours, Days, Weeks, or Months) selected in the X-Axis of the report. The pie chart option is available for any other selection of the X-Axis.

Charge Types

Understand the Charge Types that Tanzu CloudHealth derives from your AWS Cost and Usage report.

The Tanzu CloudHealth platform derives the credit charges from your AWS Cost and Usage report. To view data on all the available charge types in your CUR, select the Detailed Charge Type as the Category when generating a cost report in the Tanzu CloudHealth platform.

To analyze trends of one or more specific credit charges, select the required charge type in the filters option.

The charge type filter option is available for the following reports:

List of Charge Types

Other : Other charges that are not part of any of the known Tanzu CloudHealth categories.
Subscription Charges: AWS support and APN Annual Program Fees.
Usage Charges: Charges incurred for using AWS services, such as using an EC2 instance.

Reporting Forecasts and Change Over Time

Features that enable you to view trends and forecasts in Tanzu CloudHealth visual reports

Forecasting

Use forecasting to predict future values based on past data. To access forecasting, from any interactive report, select Options from the top of the chart.

You can select the period of time you would like to forecast, and the period of time you would like to base your forecast on.

The basis data skips partial intervals. Only full hours, days, weeks or months are used.

You can also choose to forecast actual values, change over time, or percentage change over time.

Change Over Time

Using the change over time and percentage change over time options, you can see how cost, usage, and performance change over time. This makes trends obvious and allows you to confirm that cloud cost, usage, and performance line up with your expectations and plans.

The tabular data below each visualization also includes a delta ( Δ ) column that represents the change over time data.

Report Details

Understand how to access fine grained data from Tanzu CloudHealth reports

Both cost and performance interactive reports allow you to view further details by clicking on the section of the graph or the table shown below the graph.

Cost Report Details

Click on a data segment or cost shown within the table below the graph to view statement details associated with the datapoint selected.

For each line item, click View to reveal additional details on the asset that generated the cost.

You can also download the entire statement by clicking Download Items.

Performance Report Details

Click on a data segment or cost shown within the table below the graph to view additional line chart data associated with the datapoint selected. This line chart can then be filtered on several dimensions, including:

Time Interval (Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly)
Topic (Dependent on the performance report being viewed)
Metrics (Dependent on the performance report being viewed)
Time Range
Chart (Area or Line)

Multiple Y-Axis dimensions can be added to the same chart. For example, you can display average CPU% and disk capacity on the same line chart.

Actions and Subscriptions

Description of actions that you can perform through reports

What Are Report Actions

For help setting up an S3 bucket to receive subscriptions, see Configure S3 Bucket to Receive Subscriptions

Update Subscriptions

From the left menu select Reports > Subscriptions.
Locate the subscription you want to update.

Deleting a subscription does not delete the saved report linked to the subscription.
Modify the subscription and save your changes.

Considerations with Subscriptions

When you delete a perspective, any subscriptions associated with that perspective are also deleted.
If you delete a user, saved private reports created by that user are deleted. The user’s saved public reports are assigned to the person who deleted the user.
The recipient of a subscription does not need to be a user in the Tanzu CloudHealth platform. However, viewing details from the report on the Tanzu CloudHealth platform requires a Tanzu CloudHealth account.
TLS is required for FlexReports email subscriptions. If your email servers do not support TLS, contact support.

Configure S3 Bucket to Receive Subscriptions

Quickly and easily share valuable data analyses and reports with individuals across the organization

Use subscriptions to share valuable data analysis and reports with your organization. You can subscribe yourself or others in your organization to receive standard, customized, saved Tanzu CloudHealth reports or FlexReports at regular intervals.

Step 1 - Configure S3 Bucket

Select an existing AWS S3 bucket, or create a new S3 bucket. For help creating an S3 bucket, see Creating a Bucket. After you create the S3 bucket, it can take 15 minutes for the bucket to appear in the platform.

Configure the bucket as follows:

In the AWS Console, select Services > IAM > Policies and locate the IAM Access Policy you are using for the Tanzu CloudHealth platform.

In the Permissions tab, click JSON and paste the following policy, replacing bucket-name with the name of your S3 bucket.

{
  "Effect": "Allow",
  "Action": [
    "s3:PutObject",
    "s3:PutObjectAcl"
  ],
  "Resource": [
    "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name",
    "arn:aws:s3:::bucket-name/*"
  ]
},

(FlexReports only) Paste the following policy in the Permissions tab. Do not modify the policy. cht-custom-reports is a Tanzu CloudHealth bucket and should not be changed.
```
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:GetObject"
],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::cht-custom-reports",
"arn:aws:s3:::cht-custom-reports/*"
]
}
```

Result: Your IAM credentials are used to write report subscriptions from the Tanzu CloudHealth Platform to the S3 bucket.

For FlexReports, Tanzu CloudHealth will verify if the permissions are configured correctly by writing into a temporary location in the S3 bucket at subscription/test.txt. For instance, if your bucket name is cht-subscriptions, the temp file location will be cht-subscriptions/subscription/test.txt.

Step 2 - Send Subscriptions to S3 Bucket

For Standard, Customized, or Saved Reports

All Tanzu CloudHealth reports have a Subscribe option that you can access from the top right corner of the report. Using this option, you can specify an S3 bucket as the recipient of subscriptions.

Select a report and select Subscribe > New Subscription.
Set Deliver As to S3 Bucket.
Select an account and specify the name of the S3 bucket you created in the previous step in the Deliver To field.
Set the time and frequency of report delivery in the Deliver At field.

For FlexReports

Click the more actions button next to any FlexReport name and select Subscribe.
Set Deliver As to S3 Bucket.
Select an account and specify the name of the S3 bucket you created in the previous step in the Deliver To field.
Set the time and frequency of report delivery in the Deliver At field.

The output report files are delivered to the S3 location at configured_bucket_name/subscription/flexreports/subscription-name/ISO-date-time-string/filename. The filename is in report-name_part00X.csv format, where X is the sequence number.

If the report file exceeds 4.7GB, the output is written to a new file. For instance, if the S3 bucket is test-bucket, then the report is first written onto the file test-bucket/subscription/flexreports/test-subscription/2021-09-01T11:15:11Z/test-subscription_part001.csv. After exceeding 4.7GB, the report is written to file test-subscription_part002.csv.

Filters and Pinning

Learn how to pin report filter selections

Filters

Filters allow you to select one or more items from a dimension to include or exclude in your interactive reports. Filters options include all of your X-Axis and Category options.

The following example illustrates how filters can be used to customize reports to meet individual user needs.

Example: The VP of Operations wants to see the weekly historical cost for web servers in production.

To create this report, select:

Time Interval – weekly
X-Axis – weekly
Y-Axis – Cost
Category – Perspective = Function
Filters:
- Perspective = Function: web servers
- Perspective = Environment: production

Using Regular Expressions in Filters

You can use regular expressions to include or exclude items in filter categories with more than 20 results.

For example, to filter by function that starts with h and contains the word enter, use the regular expression ^h.*enter in the search field to narrow down results.

filter_regex

Pinning

Report pinning is useful for examining a specific dataset across multiple types of reports: cost, usage, performance and security. Define your dimensions and filters once, pin them, and then seamlessly move across Tanzu CloudHealth reports to analyze the different types of datasets based on settings for dimensions and filters.

When pinning, filter options that are not applicable to a dataset being analyzed are not applied. However, you can still see your original options selected by hovering over the pin button. The following illustrates how cost is removed from the data set that is pinned when instance usage is analyzed.

To clear a session, click the pin button to unpin your current filters and refresh the page.

Retrieve Archived Data for Reports

Access archived reports in the Tanzu CloudHealth Platform

Why Retrieve Archived Data

Tanzu CloudHealth reports show data for different time periods depending on the granularity that you select:

13 months of monthly data
52 weeks of weekly data
62 days of daily data
7 days of hourly data

Of these granularities, you can retrieve archived monthly data for a time period beyond 13 months. Retrieving archived monthly data is useful for the following:

Analyzing year-over-year (YoY) trends
Analyzing quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) trends
Understanding why costs changed without analyzing old saved reports
Auditing your costs against publicly reported numbers

Which Reports Are Archivable

You can only archive data presented in OLAP (online analytical processing) reports. OLAP reports are distinguished from other reports because they have /olap_reports in their URL and present data visually through charts and graphs.

In FlexOrgs, you can retrieve archived data only for the top-level organizational unit (TLOU). Viewing archived data for sub-organizational units such as child OU and parent OU is currently not supported.

Retrieve Archived Data

To view archived data, access an OLAP report such as the Cost History report. The Cost History report is at Reports > Cost > History.

From the top-right corner of the report, select View Archive Data and select a month. For example, if you select September 2019, the archive will have data from the start of the archive to October 21, 2019.

In the archive view of a report, you can only perform the following actions:

Share the report
Download the report as a CSV or an image

Starting October 2020, the Tanzu CloudHealth platform has enabled data archiving for all accounts. If data archiving was not previously enabled for your account, you will have an archive starting October 2020.

Effective Monthly Cost

RDS & EC2 Optimizer The EC2 recurring costs + RI amortization of prepay.

Effective Rate

The actual rate being paid for running instances. The effective rate can be applied to different time intervals (e.g., 1 year, 1 month, or even 1 hour). It is calculated based on the following formula: effective rate = upfront payment / reservation term / interval + recurring usage charges for interval.

Efficiency

Recommendations > Rightsizing > EC2 Rightsizing by Instance A combination of underutilization based on the total score and the monthly projected/total cost.

Expiration Date

This is the date the RI expires based on the reservation term of original purchase.

Hourly Cost

The formula to derive the hourly cost for an instance is Cost MTD / hours running in month. This represents an average hourly cost of what you are actually paying including RIs based on the Cost MTD. The Cost MTD includes other instance charges (i.e., EC2 cost w/ RIs + the ebs costs = total cost), so it would be expected to be higher than the price per hour.
