Overview of the Report
The Event Consumption Report is divided into three primary sections: Monthly Summary, Detailed Report, and All Events. Each section offers a different level of insight into your event usage.
-
Monthly Summary: This section provides a high-level view of your event consumption over a selected period. It displays a graphical representation of your events, showing trends in event usage month over month. This visual summary helps you quickly understand your usage patterns and identify any spikes in activity.
-
Detailed Report: The Detailed Report offers an in-depth analysis of your event consumption. Here, you can find a breakdown of events by specific parameters such as type, source, and date. This detailed view is particularly useful for identifying which events are contributing most to your overall consumption.
-
All Events: This section lists every event that has contributed to your consumption total. It provides a comprehensive view of all the events processed, allowing you to audit and verify your event data.
