Insights

DoiT Cloud Navigator: Enhanced and above

Overview

DoiT Insights provides actionable recommendations to help you enhance your infrastructure's security, adopt best practices, and improve cost-effectiveness. It also tracks completed optimizations, fostering accountability within your organization.

Data freshness

DoiT Insights leverages cloud billing data to uncover optimization opportunities in your cloud environment.

Insights are refreshed daily. Recommendations are generated based on recent billing data, typically collected over seven or more consecutive days, with the last day being three days prior to the current day to mitigate potential data latency issues.

Permissions

  • You do not need to grant extra permissions to DoiT. The DoiT Insights feature uses data to which DoiT already has access.

  • To access insights, your DoiT account needs the Insights Manager permission.
