Create a budget

Before you begin:

1. Check that you have Hybrid cloud billing dashboards that obtain cost and usage data from the cloud provider. The platform will use this data to evaluate the consumption of the budget 

   • See Dashboard hybrid billing details and for configuration instructions, see Display cloud provider billing data and Configure dashboard display 

   • The standard billing dashboards support Amazon, Azure, and Google, but administrators can push custom billing data for other providers.

2. Create action plans for your budget to run. See Manage action plans

To create a budget:

1. Go to Control → Budgets

2. Click the + add button

3. Enter general information

   1. For the Amount enter the total amount of the budget and the currency. If an enterprise in the hierarchy has a different currency and a conversion_factor enterprise property, perform a conversion.

   2. For the Reset cycle, select an option to reset the budget after each month, quarter, year, or never. The reset cycle begins at the budget start date. So a budget starting on the 15th day of the month would be reset on the 15th day of the next month

Currency conversions

This feature uses the conversion_factor enterprise property to convert between currencies. You should assign this property to any customer of a reseller that is using a different currency, to enable the platform to perform the conversion. If the platform cannot find the conversion factor property, it will use the default value of 1. The platform always uses the latest value of the conversion factor, and it does not store previous values. If you change the conversion factor, then the platform will use the latest value to calculate the consumption.
