Listing Cost Anomalies

Get a list of cost anomalies in Billing and Cost Management. The cost anomaly detection algorithm is evaluated daily for each cost monitor. When a cost anomaly is detected it's added to the list of cost anomalies.

Open the navigation menu and select Billing & Cost Management. Under Cost Management, select Cost Anomaly Detection.

The Cost anomaly page opens. All cost anomalies are displayed in a table.
Select Cost Anomalies.

The Cost anomalies list page opens. All cost anomalies are displayed in a table. The table sorts anomalies by date, from newest to oldest, for a default range of the last 14 days.
Select Summary stats to view the average cost impact and variance for the filtered list of anomalies.

Select the Manage columns icon on top-right of the column to hide or rearrange the columns. The following columns are shown by default:


Column Name	Description	Default Visibility
Anomaly date	Date the cost anomaly was detected.	Visible
Name	Identifier generated by OCI with the following syntax: `Cost Monitor Name: YYYY-MM-DD`. Default Cost Monitors appear as `<Service: YYYY-MM-DD>`	Visible
Cost monitor	Name of the cost monitor.	Visible
Cost monitor type	Defines the cost monitor as a default cost monitor created by OCI or a custom cost monitor created by a user.	Visible
Resource criteria	Defines the cost monitor's filter used to identify resources to monitor.	Visible
Tenancy	The cost monitor's tenancy names being monitored. Note: Each child tenancy has its own default cost monitor.	Visible
Region	The cost monitor's region where the resources being monitored.	Visible
Expected cost	The forecasted daily cost for the cost monitor.	Visible
Actual cost	The actual daily cost for the cost monitor.	Visible
Cost impact	The difference between the forecast and the actual daily cost.	Visible
Cost variance	The difference between the forecast and the actual daily cost as a percentage.	Visible

Filtering List Results

Use filters to limit the cost anomalies in the list. Perform one of the following actions depending on the options that you see:

From the Search and Filter box above the list table, select one or more filters and specify the values that you want to use to narrow the list.

- Use the oci budgets cost-ad cost-anomaly-event-collection list-events command and required parameters to get a list of cost anomaly events in a compartment:
  oci budgets cost-ad cost-anomaly-event-collection list-events [OPTIONS]
- Use the oci budgets cost-ad cost-anomaly-event anomaly-events-stats command and required parameters to get a list of get a list of cost anomaly events analytics summary – aggregated metrics for a given time period.
  oci budgets cost-ad cost-anomaly-event-collection anomaly-events-stats [OPTIONS]
For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.
Run the ListCostAnomalyEvents operation to get a list of cost anomalies in the compartment.
