What filtering criteria are available in the Resource Usage menu?

The Resource Usage menu in OpsNow FinOps Plus enables users to filter and explore cloud resources across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using multiple dimensions.
These filters help improve operational visibility, support cost optimization, and allow for precise resource tracking across complex cloud environments.

🔍 Key Filtering Criteria

1️⃣ Account / Subscription / Project

  • Filter by cloud account level:
    • AWS Account, Azure Subscription, GCP Project
  • Helps identify and manage assets across multiple business units or subsidiaries

2️⃣ Region

  • Filter by resource location (e.g., us-east-1, korea-central, asia-northeast1)
  • Useful for spotting resource concentration or high-cost regional allocations

3️⃣ Service / Product Type

  • Filter by resource type: EC2, VM, Disk, Load Balancer, Cloud Function, etc.
  • Enables side-by-side comparison of similar services across different CSPs

4️⃣ Tags

  • Use key-value metadata tags to group resources by team, department, owner, or environment
  • Examples: owner=kim.jh, project=marketing, env=prod

🧩 Advanced Multi-Filter Combinations

  • Combine filters across all criteria:
    Account + Region + Resource Type + Tag
  • Example: "Show only stopped EC2 instances in us-west-2 tagged with project=devops under Account A"

These filters apply not only to the Current view but also to the History tab, allowing users to analyze usage trends over time.

📌 Summary
OpsNow’s powerful filtering capabilities allow users to narrow down cloud resources with precision and speed.
This makes it easier to identify idle, overprovisioned, or underutilized assets, and take timely actions for optimization and governance.
