Issue/Introduction

This report is used to view data from azure bills that CHT collects pertaining to MANAGED DISKS.

Measure Definitions:

1. # Attached: This measure tells us the state of the managed disk. We get this information directly from Azure API’s which we use in our cube reports 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 managed disk was used. We get this value 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. We get this value 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. Here we process unique managed disk resource ids.

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

7. Total Cost: The measure tells us how much money was spent on the managed disks. We get this information from the cost column in the azure bill.
