Cloud platform integration

Available now

Azure cost, allocated to the team that spent it.

CloudMonitor is built on Microsoft Fabric and connects to your Azure tenant through a customer-authorized service principal and scoped, least-privilege access. It turns usage and billing data into allocation, recommendations, and alerts your engineers act on.

Azure is the home turf. CloudMonitor processes Cost Management exports in a dedicated customer environment within our Fabric tenancy, reconciles them against tags and subscriptions, and gives finance and engineering a shared model of where the money goes and what to do about it.

  • Uses a customer-authorized service principal and scoped roles; no agents to deploy.
  • Allocates spend by subscription, resource group, tag, and cost group.
  • Surfaces right-sizing, reservation, and Hybrid Benefit savings, ranked by annual return.
  • Forecasts daily spend per resource and fires anomalies before the bill lands.

Cost visibility

Drill from the invoice to a single resource.

Start at the tenant total and drill down through subscription, service, tag, and cost group until you reach the one resource driving the change. Every view is filterable and shareable.

  • Cost Explorer across every subscription and billing scope
  • Group by tag, service, or cost group without exporting to a spreadsheet
  • Share a saved view with the owner who needs to act on it

Allocation

Make untagged spend somebody's problem.

Smart tags and allocation rules close the gap between what Azure billed and what your teams own. Shared platform costs are split with a method you define, so showback is defensible.

  • Smart tags fill the gaps native Azure tags leave open
  • Cost groups roll subscriptions and tags into the way your business is organized
  • Defensible splits for shared and platform costs

Commitments

Buy the right reservations at the right time.

CloudMonitor models committed-use spend against on-demand pricing, flags expiring reservations, and tracks coverage so your commitment portfolio stays balanced as usage moves.

  • Reservation and Savings Plan modeling against real usage
  • Coverage and utilization tracked per commitment
  • Azure Hybrid Benefit eligibility surfaced per VM

Anomaly detection

Catch bill shock before it lands.

A daily forecast per resource means a misconfiguration or a runaway workload shows up the day it starts, routed to the owner with the dollar impact already attached.

  • Per-resource daily forecast built on 30 days of history
  • Severity-tiered alerts tuned per cost group
  • Routed to Teams, Jira, or ServiceNow with the owner attached

Azure cost data is detailed but rarely actionable on its own. Exports land in a storage account, tags are inconsistent, and shared platform spend has no obvious owner. CloudMonitor processes that data in a dedicated customer environment within our Microsoft Fabric tenancy, reconciles it, and turns it into the allocation, recommendations, and alerts a FinOps practice runs on.

The raw FOCUS export remains available in Azure storage you control. CloudMonitor accesses it through a scoped connection and handles the modeling and operations in our Fabric tenancy.

Govern Azure spend on real data.

CloudMonitor processes your spend in an isolated customer environment within our Microsoft Fabric tenancy: your allocation, your alerts.
