Dashboard Overview

The Dashboard in the Cloud Management Portal serves as the central hub for monitoring and managing cloud resources. It provides a comprehensive overview of usage statistics, billing information, and system notifications, helping users make informed decisions regarding their cloud infrastructure.

The dashboard enables users to:

  • Track real-time and historical resource usage.

  • Monitor billing and forecast future expenses.

  • View allocated and available quotas for cloud resources.

  • Access system alerts and notifications related to instance activity.

  • Quickly deploy new virtual machines (VMs) and manage configurations.

Key Sections of the Dashboard​

1. User Welcome Panel :​

Located at the top of the dashboard, this section provides a personalized greeting along with useful information related to the account, such as:

  • User Name: Identifies the logged-in user.

  • Quick Tips: Provides guidance on navigating the portal and utilizing available features.

2. Billing Summary :​

The billing section helps users track cloud usage costs efficiently. It consists of:

  • Current Month’s Usage: Displays the total cloud usage cost for the current billing cycle.

  • Last Month’s Usage: Provides a comparison of the previous month’s total expenses.

  • Forecasted Cost: Predicts the estimated cost for the current month based on current resource consumption trends.

  • Processing Charges: Shows any additional charges related to transactions or configurations.

This section is crucial for budget planning and ensuring cost efficiency in cloud resource utilization.

3. Configuration Status :​

  • This section provides real-time updates on critical configurations related to cloud services such as KYC, Payment configuration.

  • A "Completed" status ensures that configurations are successfully applied, whereas "Pending" indicates pending actions.

4. Statistics & Resource Consumption Trends :​

This section offers a graphical representation of usage statistics over time. Users can view:

  • Resource Utilization Trends: A historical breakdown of cloud resource consumption, helping in capacity planning.

  • Usage by Month: Tracks the monthly variations in cloud usage, allowing users to identify peak usage periods.

  • Performance Metrics: Helps users optimize their cloud resource allocation based on past usage patterns.

This visual representation is helpful in monitoring performance trends and making data-driven decisions.

5. Overview Quotas :​

This section provides a breakdown of available and utilized quotas for different cloud resources:
