Reading the Dashboard

Summary tiles

Eight tiles across the top give you a single-glance read on the health of your estate:

• Total resources and Untagged resources — how many resources Cirrova is tracking, and how many are missing tags (useful for tagging-hygiene programmes).
• 30-day cost — your rolling spend across all connected subscriptions for the last 30 days.
• Month-end forecast — projected spend for the current calendar month, with a confidence range (Low / Medium / High) derived from recent variability.
• Active anomalies — unresolved spend anomalies detected by Cirrova.
• Budgets exceeded — budgets currently over their threshold.
• High-priority insights — rightsizing, orphaned, or expired-resource findings flagged as high severity.
• Potential 30-day savings — the total monthly saving Cirrova has identified across all active insights.

Each tile is click-through: clicking High priority insights jumps to the Insights page filtered to high severity, Budgets exceeded opens Budgets scoped to breached budgets, and so on. The filter is pre-applied, so you land exactly where you'd manually have navigated.

Spend over time

Two charts sit below the tiles.

Daily spend & rolling average

The first chart plots spend across a configurable period with four controls in its top right:

• Group — break the bars down by a dimension. Options: None (default), Tenant, Subscription, Resource Group, Resource Type. With a group selected, each day becomes a stack coloured by the chosen dimension and a legend appears below the chart.
• Daily / Accumulated — toggle between per-day spend and a running total that climbs across the period.
• Chart type — pick Line, Area, Stacked Column (default), or Grouped Column. Stacked and grouped columns both honour the group dimension; line and area work better for a single trend.
• Period — select This week, This month (default), This quarter, This year, Last month, Last quarter, Last 7 / 30 / 90 days, Last 3 / 6 / 12 months, or a Custom date range.

The chart's title reflects the current configuration:

• Daily spend & rolling average — Daily mode, no grouping. Shows per-day bars, a seven-day moving average as a line, and a forecast tail in a lighter shade extending to period-end. The moving average is useful for spotting sustained shifts — a single expensive day doesn't move the line much, but a step-change will.
• Daily spend — Daily mode, with grouping applied. Per-day bars are stacked or grouped by the chosen dimension. The moving average and forecast tail are not shown — they don't apply per-group.
• Cumulative spend — Accumulated mode (with or without grouping). Each day shows the running total to date, climbing through the period.

Monthly spend — last 12 months

The second chart shows totals per month so you can spot seasonality and longer-term drift. The current month is highlighted in a different shade so a part-month bar isn't mistaken for a drop-off. This chart has no controls — it's always the last twelve calendar months.

Every bar on both charts is clickable — click a daily bar to open Cost Explorer filtered to that single day, or a monthly bar to open it with the month's date range applied.

Top-cost breakdowns

Three panels along the bottom show where your spend is concentrated:

• Top subscriptions by cost (donut)
• Top resource groups by cost (donut)
• Top resource types by cost (horizontal bar chart)

Every segment is interactive — click a segment to drill into that subscription, resource group, or resource type and see its own cost breakdown, trends, and child resources.

Collection status

At the very bottom, the Collection status panel reports when each tenant was last ingested, how long the run took, and how many resources were collected. If a dashboard figure looks stale, this is the first place to check — a failed or still-running collection will show here before anywhere else. Click View all runs in the panel header to open the full collection-run history under Organisation Settings → Snapshots.

Reading the forecast

The month-end forecast is an estimate, not a commitment. It projects forward from your current run-rate, adjusted for recent trend. The confidence band is narrower when your daily spend has been stable and wider when it's been volatile:

• High — recent daily spend is consistent. The forecast range is tight.
• Medium — some variability. Treat the midpoint as a reasonable expectation but watch the upper bound.
• Low — high variability or insufficient history (for example, shortly after a new subscription is connected). Don't lean on the number until more data is in.

If your forecast jumps unexpectedly, check the Daily spend chart for a step-change and cross-reference with Anomalies and Events — a single resource group being stood up or torn down is usually the cause.
