View a resource usage report

You can view resource usage reports to analyze usage trends and identify optimization opportunities.

Prerequisites

If you use a RAM user, ensure the AliyunCloud MonitorFullAccess system policy is attached to the RAM user. For more information, see Grant permissions to a RAM user.

Procedure

Log on to the Cloud Monitor console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Hybrid Cloud Monitoring > Resource Usage Report.
On the Resource Usage Report page, find the target report task and click View Latest Report in the Actions column.
The report includes the following sections:
- Resource Distribution
  
  Shows resource distribution by cloud service, resource group, region, and Cost center.
  
  Note
  All resources in this report are the cloud resources specified in the report task.
- Resource Usage Details
  You can filter resources by resource group or cost center. Usage is displayed by cloud service. This section covers cloud service resource distribution, resource usage statistics and comparison, and resource load evaluation. ECS is used as an example.
  - Cloud service resource distribution
    
    Shows ECS resource distribution by resource group, cost center, and region based on your filter conditions.
    
    Note
    
    If you filter by Cost Center, the Resource Group Distribution of Instances chart is displayed.
    
    If you filter by Resource Group, the Cost Center Distribution chart is displayed.
  - Resource usage statistics and comparison
    
    Shows ECS resource usage statistics and comparisons, including average usage of three core metrics, resource distribution across usage ranges, and usage references based on historical data and intelligent algorithms.
    
    Note
    
    For supported cloud services and metrics, see Cloud products and metrics supported by resource usage reports.
    
    For the computing logic of resource usage comparison, see Resource usage comparison.
  - Resource load evaluation
    
    Evaluates ECS resource load using the CloudMonitor intelligent algorithm. Resources are classified as high load, normal, or low load based on usage.
    
    Note
    
    Some resources may be classified as unknown due to insufficient data.
    
    Load evaluation is supported only for ECS resources.
    
    For the load evaluation algorithm, see Evaluation algorithm for ECS resource load.
