Cost View

The Cost View page provides detailed, resource-level cost insights for Kubernetes environments. It allows break down spending by Cluster, Namespace, Node, and Persistent Volume, helping users understand where costs originate and how workloads consume resources. These views make it easier to identify top cost contributors, inefficient workloads, and optimization opportunities across the infrastructure.

Cluster Cost View​

Key Highlights​

  • Shows Cluster Summary, including resource-wise cost distribution and overall resource insights.

  • Displays Cluster Trend & Anomaly charts to visualize day-wise cost behaviour within the selected time window.

  • Supports Daily, Weekly, and Regular trend views for cost analysis.

  • Provides Namespace-level cost breakdown with CPU, RAM, and Persistent Volume distribution.

  • Shows Node-level cost distribution within the cluster for deeper workload visibility.

  • Includes Persistent Volume Cost Distribution for all Persistent Volumes (PVs).

  • Includes a Cluster Budget chart supporting monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, and yearly budget views.

How to Use​

  • Navigate to Cost View → Cluster.

  • Select a Cluster and Time Range from the dropdown.

  • View the summary cards for total and resource-wise costs.

  • Analyze the trend charts showing Daily, Weekly, and Regular cost patterns.

  • Scroll down to explore Namespace, Node, and Persistent Volume level cost breakdowns.

Namespace Cost View​

Key Highlights​

  • Displays Namespace Summary, including CPU, RAM, Persistent Volume, and GPU costs (if available).

  • Shows a Namespace Cost Trend chart for day-wise cost behaviour.

  • Provides Workload-level cost breakdown for Pods, Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, etc.

How to Use​

  • Navigate to Cost View → Namespace.

  • Select a Cluster, choose a Namespace and Time Range from the dropdown.

  • Review the summary cards to understand the resource-wise cost distribution.

  • Analyze the Namespace Cost Trend graph.

  • View the Workload Cost Breakdown to identify the top expensive workloads.

Node Cost View​

Key Highlights​

  • Shows Node Summary with CPU, RAM, Persistent Volume, and GPU cost distribution.

  • Provides a Node Cost Trend chart for day-wise cost changes.

  • Includes a per-node cost breakdown table.

How to Use​

  • Navigate to Cost View → Node.

  • Select a Cluster and Time Range from the dropdown.

  • Review the resource distribution to understand CPU, RAM cost proportions.

  • Analyze the Node Cost Trend chart.

  • Compare nodes in the breakdown table to identify cost deviations or inefficiencies.

Persistent Volume Cost View​

Key Highlights​

  • Shows Persistent Volume Summary, including total Persistent Volume cost and volume count.

  • Displays Persistent Volume Cost Trend showing day-wise Persistent Volume billing.

  • Provides a per-volume cost distribution table listing each PVC along with its associated cost.

How to Use​

  • Navigate to Cost View → Persistent Volume.

  • Select the Cluster and Time Range from the dropdown.

  • Review the Persistent Volume Overview section.

  • Inspect the Persistent Volume Cost Trend chart for usage patterns.

  • Scroll down to view the PV-level cost distribution table.

Interactive Features​

  • 🔎 Filters → Filter by cluster, namespace, or label
  • 📊 Charts → Visualize costs across different dimensions
  • ⏱️ Date Range → Analyze regular, daily or weekly spend trends

🎯 Tip: Use Cost View to move from overall trends (Dashboard) to detailed resource-level insights and identify exactly which resources are driving costs.
