General settings

The Settings page in CloudSpend lets you manage key configurations for your account. From here, you can integrate CloudSpend with Site24x7, set how Azure list prices are handled, and customize the way scheduled reports look before they are shared with your team. This page has two sections: Account Settings and Customize Report. Each section is explained below.

Account Settings

You can configure account-level options for CloudSpend under this section.

This integration will help you to view your budgets or accounts in the Site24x7 web client and receive alerts in case of budget threshold breaches.

Set Azure List Price as Actual Cost

Azure list price is the standard pay-as-you-go rate charged by Azure for services, without any discounts, reserved instance pricing, or special agreements applied. When you set the Set Azure List Price as Actual Cost option to Yes, CloudSpend will consider the Azure list price as the Actual Cost for all your Azure accounts.

  • All previously calculated costs and forecasts in CloudSpend will be reset.
  • CloudSpend billing will continue to happen at the Actual Cost level even when this option is enabled.

To set the Azure list price as the Actual Cost for all your Azure accounts,

  1. Log in to your CloudSpend account.
  2. Navigate to Admin > General > Settings.
  3. Toggle the Set Azure List Price as Actual Cost option to Yes.
  4. Click Save.

Once saved, CloudSpend will display and bill Azure costs at the list price level.
