Total EBS period over period description comparing incorrect dates

[gmg105]

In CUDOS dashboard V5.3, the Storage & Backup page has a descriptive box named "Total EBS Period over period".

It always compares the previous month compared to the current month leading to incorrect cost decreases as the periods aren't comparable.

In my opinion, it should compare the previous month with 2 months ago, so that one could get an understanding of the trend month over month. That's closer to the Amazon S3 tab behavior, where the total spend is compared to the previous (month) period, so that we'd get a descriptive trend.

please check MoM Comparison Type options

Hi Iakov,

I probably didn't make myself clear.

This issue is not related to the "Executive: MoM Trends" page, and the option highlighted before (MoM Comparison Type) does not affect the "Storage & Backup" page (below).

The problem is that we have a graph of the previous month spend, that we should compare with the month before, and from the existing implementation, we are comparing the current month with the previous month, leading to a cost decrease, as the current month period is not closed, whereas the previous month is already fully closed.

Thanks,
Gonçalo

Hi Gonçalo,

Thank you for reporting. We will fix it in the next release of CUDOS
