description: "The Azure Cost Management datasets CloudMonitor ingests — cost and usage (FOCUS 1.2-preview), price sheet, and reservation data — with links to Microsoft's published field schemas. No PII."

CloudMonitor reads standard **Azure Cost Management** datasets — the same cost,
pricing, and reservation records you can export yourself from the Azure portal.
Every field is published by Microsoft, so you can see exactly what we ingest.

:::note[No personally identifiable information]
There is **no PII** in any of these datasets. They contain resource and meter
identifiers, quantities, prices, dates, and your own resource tags — not names,
email addresses, or any personal data.

## The datasets we ingest

Which datasets apply depends on your billing account type — **Enterprise
Agreement (EA)**, **Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA)**, or **CSP / partner**
(you are billed under your partner's MCA, so the MCA schemas apply). The
[Cost Management dataset schema index](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/dataset-schema/schema-index)
is Microsoft's authoritative list. Open any link below to see every field in
that dataset.

| Dataset | What it contains | Field schema (Microsoft Learn) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Cost and usage details — FOCUS 1.2-preview** | Every cost and usage line item: resources, meters, quantities, effective and list prices, and amortized costs. The core dataset, published in the open [FOCUS](https://focus.finops.org/) format and shared across EA and MCA. | [FOCUS 1.2-preview](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/dataset-schema/cost-usage-details-focus) · [EA](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/dataset-schema/cost-usage-details-ea) · [MCA](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/dataset-schema/cost-usage-details-mca) |
| **Price sheet** | Your organization's negotiated and list prices per meter. | [EA](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/dataset-schema/price-sheet-ea) · [MCA](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/dataset-schema/price-sheet-mca) |
| **Reservation details** | Your reservation inventory and how much of each reservation was used. | [Schema](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/dataset-schema/reservation-details-mca) |
| **Reservation recommendations** | Where buying a reservation would cut your rate. | [Schema](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/dataset-schema/reservation-recommendations-ea) |
| **Reservation transactions** | Reservation purchases, exchanges, and refunds. | [Schema](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/dataset-schema/reservation-transactions-ea) |

## How this maps to your agreement

- **Enterprise Agreement (EA):** cost and usage via [FOCUS 1.2-preview](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/dataset-schema/cost-usage-details-focus) (or the [EA cost and usage schema](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/dataset-schema/cost-usage-details-ea)), the [EA price sheet](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/dataset-schema/price-sheet-ea), and the reservation datasets above.
- **Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA):** cost and usage via [FOCUS 1.2-preview](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/dataset-schema/cost-usage-details-focus) (or the [MCA cost and usage schema](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/dataset-schema/cost-usage-details-mca)), the [MCA price sheet](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/dataset-schema/price-sheet-mca), and [MCA reservation details](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/dataset-schema/reservation-details-mca).
- **CSP / partner:** you are billed under your partner's Microsoft Customer Agreement, so the **MCA** schemas apply. Some billing-scope data (for example, reservation purchases) is held by your partner; where you only have subscription access, CloudMonitor reads cost and usage at the subscription scope. See the [access guide](/docs/cloudmonitor-fabric-beta/granting-cloudmonitor-access-to-your-azure-environment/) for what to grant.
