Cloud Efficiency Index Dashboard

Service Portal > Cloud Efficiency Index Dashboard

Cloud Efficiency Index Dashboard allows you to check whether resources and costs are efficiently managed, and provides metrics to identify and monitor underutilized resources or costs if any.

  • Total Scores: Calculate the standard score of efficiency index item based on the measurement standard, and divide average values of the standard score into A+, A, B+, B, and C. Each grade is classified as A+ = 100~95, A = 95~90, B+ = 90~85, B= 85~80, and C=80~.
  • Comparing metrics to previous month/week: Display items with the lowest increase and/or the largest decrease, at the top of the dashboard, compared to last month/week among all cloud efficiency items.
  • Period: Cloud efficiency indices can be viewed monthly or weekly.
  • Manage Efficiency Index: Manage and select required items for your need from the efficiency index items provided by the system by default.

Efficiency Index Chart

Efficiency indices can be viewed in a graphical form as charts. You can filter by clicking Cost or Resource from the drop down list on the top-right corner of the page to view the data you need to see. On the bottom of the chart, currently enabled items are displayed, and you can view specific items only by clicking and disabling other items.

Efficiency Index Table

The efficiency index table displays a list of enabled items with detailed information. You can view efficiency indices by All, Cost Efficiency Index or Resource Efficiency Index.

Item Description Note
Category Efficiency indices are categorized as Cost or Resource.
Cloud Service Display Cloud services such as AWS, Azure, and GCP related to enabled items.
Item List of rules that are applied to calculate scores of resource and cost data.
Description A detailed description of the efficiency index item.
Standard Score Users customize target score, weight, target setting, and recommended score, and convert them into percentage. Tooltip shows calculation formula for each item
Weighted Score Display the weighted score that is applied to the efficiency index item. The weight can be defined in Manage Efficiency Index. Weighted score = Standard score * set weight / 100
Associated Menu Move to the associated menu to view the detailed information of the item. Associated menus are provided for some items only

Modify Efficiency Index

Users can select required cost and resource items to manage cloud efficiency indices properly. Index management can be performed for the user’s IT environment based on the criteria set for each cost and resource item.

Item Description Note
Item List of rules that are applied to calculate scores of resource and cost data.
Weight Enter a weight for enabled efficiency index items. Then, converted weight will be applied to each item. The total sum of weight used in all items must be 100. Select the checkbox on the top-right corner of the screen to disable the weight
Target Setting When setting the measurement standard for each item, set inequality signs to calculate the standard score.
Target Score Users can set a target score for measuring the indices. Standard scores are calculated based on the target score.
Recommended Score Recommended score is provided by the system for each item.
Description A detailed description of the efficiency index item.
Enabled Users can choose whether to use the efficiency index item.

📜 Note: Here is the example of how to calculate the standard score of Reservations Utilization.

Calculation Condition: In the Modify Efficiency Index page, set Target Setting >=, and Target Score = 100, and disabled the weight.

Formula: Used Reservations Costs/Purchased Reservations Costs * 100

Result (Standard score): (126.42/615.06) * 100 = 58.12
The calculated result is 58.12 and it means that the ratio of used reservations utilization compared to purchased reservations is only 58.12.

⁕ Now just change the standard score to 80 with the same condition set above, the score will be 72.66. You can see the difference by looking at this example. Depending on the conditions you set, you will have different but meaningful metrics for you.

⚠️ Attention: For China Portal, some pages may look different from the global version.

② Under Manage, go to App registrations and click the [+ New registration].

③ Enter the required information including the application name. Select Supported account types and click the Register button.

④ When the new application is registered, copy and record the values of the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID. You will need these ID values when you register your Azure subscriptions on Service Portal.

⑤ Under Manage, go to API permissions and click the [+ Add a permission].

⑥ Select Azure Service Management on the Request API permissions page.

⑩ When the client secret is created, copy and record the secret value. This secret value can only be copied after the initial creation. You can only view the secret creation status but not the actual value later on. If you did not record the secret value at this step, you need to create a new client secret.

Automatically creating Service Group allows you to create new Views and their sub-service groups based on Account or Tag Key you have selected. Users who have multiple accounts or who are already categorizing resources well with the Tag feature from the Cloud Service Provider’s Console or Portal do not need to make extra efforts again to create a Service Group here. With just a few clicks, you can easily group your resources.

  • *Automatically create/manage Views created in the View list by using the Account and Tag key rule conditions
  • Automatic layout status can be managed by the user selecting on/off.
