Enable Cloudability Anomaly Detection at the Account Level (Not just View Dependent)

Currently Cloudability Anomaly detection is tied to Views if an account isn't included in a View, no anomalies can be generated for it , creating blind spots in cost monitoring . This means new or unmapped accounts can accrue unexpected spend with...

Advanced Filtering and Suppression Controls for Cloudability Anomaly Alert

Users require the ability to define advanced filtering and suppression rules for anomaly alerts so that notifications are not generated for known, expected, and business-approved cloud spend patterns. This would allow organizations to configure al...
