Credits Consumption Page: Usage Monitoring

In this article, we’ll provide a detailed guide on how to monitor Credits consumption across all OWOX BI products. The Credits Consumption page, available in every project, allows you to track Credits usage broken down by each Consumption Unit.

Note: Each OWOX BI product generates a specific number of Consumption Units (CU) when performing tasks. These units are then multiplied by their cost to determine the total Credits used. You can learn more about Credits and Consumption Units in this article.

Detailed Report by Consumption Unit

Below the graph, you’ll find a detailed report for each Consumption Unit.

    • The table shows the number of unique users processed by the OWOX BI access point for each Streaming ID during the selected period.
    • Credits are calculated with rounding applied to Consumption Units.
  • Process Runs:
    • Generated by Transformation and Pipelines.
    • The table lists all Transformations, Operations, and Pipelines used in your OWOX BI project during the reporting period.
