Hologres:Cost alerting

Introduction

Hologres supports subscription and pay-as-you-go billing. Pay-as-you-go billable items include time-specific scaling computing resources and serverless computing resources. To prevent unexpected expenses, you can monitor pay-as-you-go or overall costs using the following methods:

• Budget Management: Set recurring cost budgets and alert thresholds for specific cost types in the Expenses and Costs console. The system sends an alert when your actual or predicted cost reaches the threshold.

Budget Management

In the Expenses and Costs console, use the Cost > Budget Management module to set yearly, quarterly, or monthly pay-as-you-go budgets and alert thresholds for Hologres. The system sends an alert when your actual or predicted cost reaches the threshold.

1. Log on to the Expenses and Costs console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Cost > Budget Management.

   Note

   If you are using Budget Management for the first time, you must activate it. On the Budget Management page, click Activate for Free. The feature becomes available 24 hours after activation, provided that cost data exists.

2. Create a budget.

   For instructions on how to create a budget, see Budget Management. The following table describes the key parameters.

   Parameter	Description
   Select a budget type	Select Expense Budget.
   Set budget - budget scope	Defines what the budget covers. You can combine multiple dimensions to define the scope, such as region, product detail (for subscription or pay-as-you-go products), and billing method (subscription or pay-as-you-go). This enables more granular budget management and alerting.

3. Confirm the budget details.

   After verifying the budget details are correct, click Submit to create the budget and its alerts.
