Access insights

Insights are listed on the main Insights screen, where you can take a quick overview, identify insights of interest, and go to the details page of a specific insight.

Required permission​

  • Your DoiT account must have the Insights Manager permission.

  • You must meet the conditions listed in Permissions.

View insights​

To view insights, sign in to the DoiT console, select Optimize from the top navigation bar, and then select Insights.

Once the page launched, you can:

  • Select Show summary for highlights, or Hide summary to collapse it.

  • Find insights of interest using the search bar and filters, or sort insights by priority or by value (potential savings).

    The Insights page

Individual insights are presented as summary cards, which provide basic information such as insight category, provider, status, priority, tag, and the highlight. You can select a summary card to open the insight details page and take actions such as creating a Jira issue, contacting the DoiT expert team, or when applicable, opening a Cloud Analytics report for further investigation.

Insights coverage​

As explained in Insights sources, automated insights are generated using both internal data and external recommendation systems. These insights may require specific plans or additional configurations (see Permissions).

The Insights coverage indicates the extent to which your eligible accounts—those connected to DoiT and meeting the providers' requirements—have enabled the relevant features in the DoiT console.

Insights coverage card

Select See what you are missing for a breakdown.

The number of insights represents the total across all eligible accounts. To achieve full coverage, select Go to PROVIDER settings and set up permissions on every eligible account.

Tip

To help you speed up the process, selecting Go to AWS settings will prepopulate the eligible AWS accounts in the filter box on the Link Amazon Web Services page.

Insights status​

An insight can have one of the following statuses:

  • Actionable: The insight's recommendations can be readily acted upon.

  • Acknowledged: The insight has been evaluated, and the impact acknowledged.

  • In progress: Implementation of the insight's recommendations is ongoing. For example, a Jira issue or a CloudFlow has been created.

  • Permission needed: This status applies to automated insights that need additional configurations or subscriptions based on Permissions. It is automatically assigned by the system and cannot be manually updated.

  • Optimized: Issues identified by the insight have been addressed or no longer exist. Automated FinOps insights may also be automatically assigned this status if they offer estimated savings of less than US$ 1 per day.

  • Dismissed: The insight is considered irrelevant and can be safely ignored.

An insight's status may be automatically applied or manually adjusted. See Change insight status for more information.

Filter insights​

You can filter insights using one or several of the following criteria:

  • Status: Filter by insights status.

  • Priority: Filter by the priority as determined by the DoiT expert team: High, Medium, or Low.

  • Category: Filter by insights category.

  • Provider: Filter by data provider of the insights: AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or Snowflake.

  • Tags: Filter by tags added by the DoiT expert team.

  • Additional options: Filter by specific conditions:

    • Easy win: Easy win insights are optimization recommendations identified by the DoiT expert team as low-risk, low-complexity, and always with zero downtime.

    • With CloudFlow: Insights with which you can build a CloudFlow to automate the implementation.
