Work with OCI data

Once you've imported your OCI data into the DoiT platform, you can start using Cloud Analytics and other DoiT features such as Budgets and Allocations to analyze and monitor your OCI cost and usage.

OCI data in Cloud Analytics

You can analyze OCI cost and usage through dimensions and metrics in Cloud Analytics reports. OCI billing data uses the FOCUS format. See below for the mapping between DoiT and OCI terminologies.

Basic metrics

DoiT term
OCI FOCUS fieldDescription
CostBilledCostThe actual amount charged for OCI resource usage during the billing period.
UsageUsageQuantityThe amount of OCI resource consumed during the charge period. For example, 720 for a Compute instance running for a full month, where the Unit is HOUR.

Usage

Usage is meaningful only alongside the Unit dimension (UsageUnit). The unit is determined per SKU and varies by service type. If you need to compare Usage across different services, make sure to first filter or group by Unit.

The table below lists the units for common services. The full list of unit values is determined by Oracle per SKU. See the OCI cost reports schema for reference.

Service typeTypical UnitExample
Block / Object / File StorageGIBS500 GiB of stored data
Compute (VMs, bare metal)HOUR720 hours for a VM running a full month
Database (Autonomous Database)HOUR4 database hours
Networking / Data transferGIBS100 GiB transferred
