Dashboard Sharing (New Experience)

In the CloudHealth New Experience, customers can embed Custom reports alongside our out of the box widgets on the same dashboard. These dashboards are now shareable across SubOu boundaries and shareable tenant wide. To access the sharing functionality, navigate to the manage dashboards page, click the menu options next to the dashboard you want to share, and click “Share with Sub Organizations”. 

Only public dashboards, and dashboards containing public reports can be shared. See the release announcement below for information on making a report public.

Learn more about Dashboards as part of the new experience here.

Intra-Tenant Report Sharing (New Experience)

CloudHealth is now announcing the sharing of public reports from the Top level organizational unit to all sub organizations through an action on reports. If a report is public, it can be shared with all Sub organizations. To share with all orgs, click the three dots next to the report name and click “Share with All Orgs” and to unshare, then click on “Unshare from All Orgs”. 

Shared reports visibility will be marked “Shared” in the Sub Organizations. An Icon will appear on Shared reports in the top level organization to help you easily identify reports that have been shared.

Export Commitment Discounts (New Experience)

Customers can now export the lists of commitment discount recommendations to CSV format. You can find this by clicking the action bar above the data grid on Commitment Discounts

Public Beta | Data Connect

CloudHealth is excited to announce that Data Connect is now available in Public Beta as part of the new CloudHealth experience. The capability is launched with two key offerings: Custom File Upload and an Automated Out-of-the-Box (OOTB) Connector for Databricks. To access the Data Connect (Beta) feature, navigate to CloudHealth New Experience > Setup & Configuration > Data Connect (Beta).

1. Custom File Upload

The Custom File Upload feature allows you to bring any external data into the platform via CSV. Simply configure your data to be delivered periodically to designated AWS S3 or Azure Blob storage locations and provide the required credentials.CloudHealth will automatically infer the schema, present it for your verification, and create a corresponding dataset in FlexReports.You can then query, analyze, and join this dataset with other datasets to derive richer, cross-connected insights.

2. Automated OOTB Connector (Databricks)

We are introducing an automated, out-of-the-box connector for Databricks, with support planned for additional SaaS platforms in future releases.

Databricks deployments on AWS, Azure, and GCP are supported.

• For AWS and GCP, you will provide the necessary credentials to access the Databricks APIs.

• For Azure, no additional credentials are needed beyond those already used for bill collection, thanks to first-party integration. We receive Databricks SaaS costs from the Azure bills directly. 

Once connected, CloudHealth will automatically retrieve Databricks SaaS cost and usage information from system tables and make it available as a dataset within FlexReports.

More information can be found on our documentation page here

Size-Flexible Azure Reservation Recommendations (New Experience)

As part of the new CloudHealth experience, Azure reservations purchased for any VM size within a family (e.g., DSv2) will automatically apply its discount across all sizes in the same flexibility group. This update simplifies purchasing by enabling bulk reservations at the instance-family level.

For more information on Azure Reservations, please visit our documentation page here.
