What is the source of data for Optima?

Does Optima use the cloud bills as its sole source of data? Can I inject other costs? 

(1) Solution

Optima uses two primary data sources for helping you manage costs:

Bill data - Bill information is collected from your public cloud provider to enable an accurate view of all of your costs across your accounts and services

Usage data - Usage data is collected from RightScale Cloud Management to provide additional detail for slicing and dicing costs across many different dimensions

Generally, we recommend starting with Bill data as it provides a broader view of costs with fewer steps to get started. Detailed steps on how to connect your accounts for both bill and usage data purposes can be found on our documentation website.
