Customer wants to be informed which Azure Reserved Instances are not visible to the Turbo Azure Service Principal. This leads to improved cost information on savings.

See IBM Case TS011934194. In the discount inventory report available under Cloud, the column cost savings is wrongly indicated. Instead of calculating the savings by subtracting the PAYGO rate minus the 3 year RI reserved rate, the report is showi...

Add a new time option for configuring an Event

The only current time option is the "time window". It would be much appreciated if there is another time option to specify the time for which an event will only trigger if the conditions are met continually during that time. For instance, if we se...
