This document explains how to track your personal and team IDE expenses. To minimize cloud billing costs, you should periodically compare your actual usage to your individual and team quotas. To learn which components contribute to your IDE costs and how to reduce them, see Understand HISE Billing.
Instructions
To track your usage and compare it with that of other IDE users on your team, follow the steps below.
1. Navigate to HISE, and use your organizational email address to sign in.
2. Choose the accounts whose expenses you want to see. For instructions, see Accounts and Projects.
3. In the upper-right corner of your screen, click your name.
4. From the drop-down menu, choose Billing.
5. On the Billing page, click the Personal IDE Billing tab.
A. To compare your actual spending with your monthly quota (USD), review the PERSONAL IDE SPENDING graphic (top right in the image above). The preceding example shows that so far this month, $26.84 (5.37%) of the user's monthly $500 quota has been spent.
B. To compare your team's actual expenses with its monthly quota (USD), review the ADMIN IDE SPENDING graphic (lower right). The preceding example shows that the user's team or partner (ADMIN) has spent $741.27 of its monthly $2,000 quota.
C. To learn what percentage of the team's quota you've spent (in this case, 1.74%), as well as review the median monthly expenses for individual team members (in this case, $34.85), review the summary below the pie chart (lower left).
6. Stay on the Personal IDE Billing tab, and scroll to the next section, Personal IDE and Private Folder Spend [Month Year].
A. The first tab, NEXTGEN-IDE, shows the names of your IDEs and the relative amount of resources (USD) each has consumed so far this month. Is this case, in the color-coded blocks, we see two IDEs, my-sample-ide and sample-ide, which have consumed roughly equal resources.
B. For a precise dollar amount, hover over a block, as shown in the right side of the image. Here, for example, on June 23, my-sample-ide-cost $0.74, and sample-ide cost $1.41.
C. To see the expenses incurred by your private folder, click the private-folder tab. This user has incurred no expenses.
7. Stay on the Personal IDE Billing tab, and scroll to the next section, Total Personal vs. Median Partner Spending for the Last [X] Months.
The chart shows 12 months of billing data unless you've used HISE for < 1 year. For example, this user has used HISE for only 8 months. |
A. To compare your spending with the median amount spent by members of your team, review the bar chart.
B. To see the rough amount (USD) of your spending, look at the vertical axis.
C. For the precise dollar amount of spending in a single month, hover over the selected month. This user, for example, spent $66.66 in November, compared with median team spending of $37.56 the same month.
8. An alternative way to track IDE spending by instance is to go directly to the IDE:
A. From the top navigation menu in HISE, click RESEARCH.
B. From the drop-down menu, choose NextGen IDE.
C. In the lower-right corner of the card for each running or stopped IDE, note the monthly spending (in this case, $138.70), or click the card for details.
9. Scroll to IDE Spend Per User Per Instance:
A. To sort the list by username, click USER (left column).
B. To sort the list by dollar amount, click TOTAL COST (right column).
