[google-appengine] Dashboard graphs require instance hours graph

2011-09-01 Thread Tim Hoffman
Hi To help us get a better grasp on hour instance hours consumption we really need an graph of instance hours used per hour. The current graph of instances doesn't really convey that information, At the moment there is no indication of instance hours use other than in the billing stats whic

Hi Tim, The drop down on the charts page has "Instances" as the 2nd to last item in the menu. Is that what you are looking for? Hope that helps, Greg On Thu, Sep 1, 2011 at 6:10 PM, Tim Hoffman wrote: > Hi > > To help us get a better grasp on hour instance hours consumption we really > need

Hi Greg You didn't really read my post. I explicitly said the graph of instances doesn't really help. How do you guage you instance hours accumulated for the hour from the instances graph that is currently there. Maybe a graph isn't the right tool, Can you tell me how many instance hours and

HI Barry I realize they area under the graph is number of instances, however in my case there is in fact a lot of instance churn (especially when I drop off always on) Like I said later maybe graphs aren't the best way to provide this information. I do want to see the rate of instance creatio

Hi Tim, It's a fair question. These graphs only show frontend instances. Precommitted Instance Hours don't actually operate differently, they are only billed differently, so we are not planning to show them on this graph but rather on your bill. All of that being said, this graph should be more

HI Greg Yep the graph might not be that useful, however billing stats are running at about 3 days behind, so between late billing stats and a less than useful graph in terms of estimating your actual costs the round trip time on making real changes and see the true impact on real costs is prett

Hi I have been thinking further about what I think the bare minimum the graphs should be showing. It really needs instance hours cost on 15 min increments (or less) or if that is not possible at least instance hours, number of instances isn't the metric we are going to be charged on. For bur
