Published date: August 01, 2016
Azure DevTest Labs now supports more cost-management capabilities in Lab cost trend, including:
- Custom cost-tracking time range: You can specify a custom time range for the DevTest Labs cost-trending chart. You can set the custom time range based on your project start/end date to get a sense of the project spending, or any custom range where you want to visualize spending and projection.
- Specify actions for cost threshold: In addition to setting a total cost target and visualizing the target on the cost-trending chart, you an use DevTest Labs to specify actions on a threshold at 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, or 125%.
- Visualize the cost thresholds on the chart:
- Send notifications when a particular threshold is met by specifying a webhook URL:
You configure these settings through the Manage target blade in Lab cost trend. Select a threshold percentage from the list, and then you can set whether to show the selected percentage on the cost-trending chart or get a notification through the specified webhook URL:
