Cloud service providers (CSPs) provide resource usage and cost reports at set intervals. ACTIVATE can provision the necessary infrastructure to enable CSP billing exports, allowing the platform to access, process, and display cost data on the cost dashboard.
Billing is managed directly from the cloud account detail page. Navigate to Cloud Accounts, select an account, and use the billing options available on that page.
One-Time Setup Per CSP
Billing only needs to be provisioned once per CSP per organization. After setting up billing on one cloud account, all other cloud accounts using the same CSP automatically detect billing data within an hour. You do not need to provision billing separately for each cloud account.
