Usage dashboard
The Usage dashboard provides detailed insights into your NGINX as a Service resource consumption for the entire customer organization, encompassing deployments across all geographies and regions. View hourly usage metrics to track costs, analyze patterns, and optimize your deployments. Use the dashboard to analyze daily traffic patterns, plan capacity requirements, and optimize geographic distribution across regions.
Use this dashboard to get daily and monthly usage trends, monitor peak traffic hours to plan scaling strategies and compare performance across different regions to optimize deployment location.
This dashboard provides granular, per-deployment usage analysis. View individual deployment consumption, region-specific usage, and hourly patterns for each deployment.
Access your usage dashboard to view consumption metrics across all your deployments. The dashboard displays hourly usage data that you can filter and analyze based on your needs.
Choose the time range for your usage from the predefined ranges. The default time range is last 30 days.
Narrow down your usage data using these filters. You can combine multiple filters to get more precise usage insights:
| Filter | Description | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Region | Filter by cloud region | Analyze regional usage patterns |
| Deployment | Filter by specific deployment | Focus on individual deployment consumption |
To analyze your usage data, follow this step-by-step filtering process:
- Select a time range - Choose from the available time periods as described in Time Period Selection
- Filter by region - Narrow down the data to specific cloud regions where your deployments are located
- Filter by deployment - Focus on specific deployments within the selected region for detailed analysis
This hierarchical filtering approach allows you to progressively narrow your analysis from organization-wide usage to specific deployment performance.
Usage data is collected and displayed on an hourly basis. Each hour shows:
- Timestamp: The specific hour when usage was recorded
- Location Details: Region and deployment information
- Consumption Metrics: Detailed usage measurements
Your usage dashboard tracks several types of consumption:
| Meter Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Fixed | Base service cost |
| NCU (NGINX Compute Units) | Processing capacity used |
| Data Processed | Volume of data handled |
For more information about NCU, see the overview.
Historical usage data is available for up to one year, allowing for comprehensive analysis and trend identification.
