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.
Filter asset usage by users
You can track total assets queried and storage consumption by users in your organization.
To filter asset usage by a user:
- From the left menu in Atlan, click Reporting and then click Usage & Cost.
- From the Usage & Cost dashboard, click the Queried by filter and select the user by whom you want to filter usage metrics.
You will now be able to view usage and cost metrics for a specific user! 🎉
