Azure Cost Tracking: Spot Spend Spikes, Unexpected Charges & Cost Trends Automatically | StratoLens

Описание: Do you know which Azure resources are driving unexpected cost increases? StratoLens gives you full visibility into your Azure spend — from high-level subscription costs down to individual meter-level charges — and automatically flags unusual spending patterns before they become budget problems.

In this video, I walk through the Cost Explorer and Cost Anomalies features:

Cost Explorer:
— Drill-down cost navigation: Subscriptions → Resource Groups → Resources → Meter-level detail
— Flexible date range filtering with presets (Current Month, Previous Month, Last 30/60 Days) and custom ranges
— Prior period comparison showing percentage and dollar changes at a glance
— Interactive trend charts: daily, weekly, cumulative, and forecast views
— Meter breakdown visualization at three granularity levels (Total / Meter / Sub-meter)
— Multi-currency support — costs displayed in your Azure billing currency (EUR, GBP, USD, etc.)
— Up to 90 days of historical cost data with deleted resource preservation

Cost Anomalies:
— Automatic detection of cost spikes and pattern shifts across all resources
— Severity classification (High, Medium, Low) based on percentage and dollar impact
— Configurable detection thresholds — adjust sensitivity from Scanner Settings
— Client-side filtering by time window, percentage change, minimum dollar impact, and direction (increases/decreases)
— Service interruption detection for zero-cost transitions
— Dashboard widget showing top anomalies at a glance
— All detection runs during scanning — no manual analysis required

— All processing happens within your own Azure tenant — zero data leaves your environment
