Cost profiles let you define your own compute, memory, and storage pricing and apply it to on-premise resources in your IT Environment.
Creating a Cost Profile
Log in to the OneIQ Portal and navigate to your IT Environment.
Click the cog wheel in the top right-hand corner to display the IT Environment Settings.
Click the ellipsis button to the right of Cost profiles. This opens the Cost profiles window, where user-defined cost profiles can be created and attached to on-premise compute and storage resources. Click on the blue Add button at the bottom of the window.
Enter a name for the cost profile and select the currency you wish to use.
For Compute price per CU / hour, Memory price per GiB / hour, and Storage price per TiB / hour, you can accept the defaults or specify your own values.
Click Create to create the cost profile.
The new cost profile now appears in the Cost Profiles window. Note that the Applies to: dropdown will be set to No platform (disabled). This means the cost profile still needs to be applied to a platform before it takes effect.
Click the Applies to: dropdown and select the platform the cost profile should apply to. You can also select Any platform to apply the cost profile to all platforms in your IT Environment.
Note: Once a cost profile has been created and applied to a platform, cost data will be captured going forward. It is not applied retroactively to historical data.
