Spend analytics

The Spend analytics page helps you gain visibility to your cloud costs by displaying your cloud, Kubernetes, and shared resources spend over a time range or a cost type that you specify.

Important: If you have the insights_owner role, only the accounts that are assigned to you appear in the filters and data.
