The usage and cost dashboard in the reporting center can help you better understand asset usage and optimize your operations accordingly. You can track storage consumption for your assets, sort asset metrics by popularity, and filter assets by context — all in one dashboard.
The reporting center in Atlan currently supports usage and cost metrics for the following connectors:
- Amazon Redshift — tables, views, and columns. Expensive queries and compute costs for Amazon Redshift assets are currently unavailable due to limitations at source.
- Databricks — tables, views, and columns. Expensive queries for Databricks assets are currently unavailable due to limitations of the Databricks APIs.
- Google BigQuery — tables, views, and columns
- Snowflake — tables, views, and columns
Usage and cost metrics for Microsoft Power BI will be added in the future.
