To exclude products from specific publishers from Azure billing, you can set a new system property "and Abiquo property: abiquo.azure.billing.parser.lineitem.publisher.ignore".
This property contains a string of publishers to exclude from billing line items in CSV format. For example ", such as Microsoft Office".
When you are using this property, for the public-cloud-billing-check-tool for Azure, you can use the "--excludedPublishers" option.
Exclude product IDs option
To exclude specific products by ID from Azure billing, you can set "abiquo.azure.billing.parser.lineitem.productid.ignore.path" system property to define a fileystem path to a CSV file containing all the product IDs to ignore.
Effectively, the CSV file will be a list of product IDs to ignore, one per line. When you are using this property, for the public-cloud-billing-check-tool for Azure, you can use the “--epp” epp or "--excludedProductIdsPath" option.
Azure example output
...
A positive number means there are more entitlements in the CSP Azure Plan than there are in Abiquo
A negative number means there are more subscriptions in Abiquo than in the Microsoft Azure portal. This could be because credentials are not set correctly, or because a subscription was deleted/canceledcancelled/deactivated in Azure but the subscription still exists in Abiquo.
