Vantage Adds the Ability to Upload Labeled Metrics for Calculating Unit Costs

Vantage has introduced a new feature that allows users to upload labeled business metrics to calculate unit costs, enhancing the granularity of reporting for specific teams, categories, or business units. This update enables users to create a single business metric with a label parameter to segment data, avoiding the need for separate metrics for each application or category, thus simplifying dynamic cost allocation based on usage metrics. The labels, which can identify sources such as applications or cost centers, are available alongside existing date and amount parameters and can be used in Cost Reports to visualize unit costs across different categories. The feature supports all existing metric ingestion methods, including API, CSV files, Amazon CloudWatch, or Datadog, and is free for all users. The newly added label parameter is optional, allowing users to continue importing metrics without it, while still benefiting from improved decision-making capabilities at the application level. Users can manage and view these metrics and labels through the Business Metrics screen in the console, facilitating the assignment of specific labels to Cost Reports for detailed cost analysis.
