Create cost monitors from Analysis views

• Cost monitors can be created directly from an analysis view by selecting Monitor option from the Actions dropdown.

• The monitor inherits the filters applied to the analysis view and uses them as its monitoring rules.

• Any modifications to the view’s filters are automatically synchronized with the associated monitor.

• Views associated with a Cost monitor are indicated by an alarm icon.

Cost comparison

Azure subscription costs for two different time ranges can be compared by selecting Compare from the Actions menu within an Analysis view.

Customize the filters and time ranges to view cost comparison for the selected subscriptions.

The Table chart offers two unique features that distinguish it from other chart types:

• It allows viewing the cost difference between two time ranges for individual subscriptions.
• Time ranges can be swapped, a functionality available exclusively in the Table chart.
