Enable hourly granularity data filtering capability in Cloudability for enhanced reporting and dashboard creation.

Currently, Cloudability reporting and dashboard capabilities are limited to daily/monthly/yearly,-level granularity for most operational and cost analysis use cases. This enhancement request is to enable hourly granularity filtering and reporting support within Cloudability dashboards, reports. The proposed capability would allow users to analyze cloud cost, usage, allocation, utilization, and anomaly trends at an hourly level across supported cloud providers and services.

From a FinOps perspective, hourly granularity provides significantly improved visibility into cloud consumption patterns, enabling teams to identify short-duration cost spikes, workload scheduling inefficiencies, underutilized resources, and transient anomalies that are often hidden within daily aggregated data. This capability would improve real-time cost governance, operational accountability, and optimization decision-making by allowing teams to correlate infrastructure events, deployments, scaling activities, and business traffic patterns with precise hourly cost impacts.
