OCI: Perspective Classification based on OCID

Products

• CloudHealth

Issue/Introduction

Not all assets are allocated under the Perspective group when the perspective is categorized by OCID.

Cause

According to the existing design, once we gather the bills, we attempt to retrieve the asset from OCI directly via the API and subsequently categorize it into the appropriate OCID perspective group.

But for short-lived assets, while the data appears under the OCI bills, no information is returned when CH attempts to collect it through the API. In such cases, the application currently categorizes these assets into the "Other" groups within the perspective (classified based on OCID), accounting for some of the costs observed in that category.

Resolution

Users can use the Built-in Categorization option "Compartments"  to categorize the cost based on Compartment Name and then manually lookup that to OCIDs
