Azure Cost Monitoring Graphs and Dashboards
FrameFlow also has visualization tools like graphs and dashboards that help you keep an eye on your costs throughout the month. You can display our dashboards on a monitor to keep you and your team informed about the month-to date or predicted costs.
Azure Cost Monitoring Dashboard Panels
Each billing event monitor generates graphs of its data as well. The Azure Billing Event Monitor has data points for the month-to-date bill as well as the daily bill increase expressed in dollars and as a percentage. You can visit the Graphs tab on your billing monitors to keep an eye on potential spikes throughout the billing period.

Monitoring Azure Resources
FrameFlow's Azure Resource Event Monitor can help you control your monthly Azure bill as well. Each Azure resource costs extra money at the end of the month. This event monitor can send you alerts when new resources are added, which is important for auditing costs. The other major benefit of adding an Azure Resources Event Monitor to your FrameFlow config is that you can include a table of resources in the event monitor's output. This lets you monitor costs by reviewing what resources are necessary for your organization.
