Measure Definitions:

1. # Attached:  This measure tells us the state of the managed disk.  CloudHealth gets this information directly from Azure APIs which is used in reporting to show this value by mapping the resource id of the managed disk to the database value and fetching the state value.

2. # Unattached:  Same as above.

3. # Disk Usage:  This measure tells us how much of the managed disk was used.  This value is pulled from the bill using the resource quantity column.

4. # Storage GBs:  This measure tells us how much managed disk space is available to us for use.  This value provided by mapping resource id in the bill to the database/API and grab the values from the disk_size_gb column.

5. # Disks:  This is a measure that tells us how many of managed disks we saw in the bill.  This is provided by analyzing unique managed disk resource ids.

6. # Disk Hours:  This measure tells us how much of managed disk was used.  This value is pulled from the bill using the resource quantity column.

7. Total Cost:  The measure tells us how much money was spent on the managed disks.  This information is pulled from the cost column in the Azure bill.
