Workload optimization for Mongo DB resouces

We should explore enabling resource optimization reporting for MongoDB in Cloudability, as we currently have several MongoDB databases that appear to be running with low or idle utilization. At present, we do not have sufficient utilization data to validate whether these databases are actually required or can be rightsized/decommissioned.

Having this capability enabled would help us provide data-driven recommendations to the respective application teams and identify potential cost optimization opportunities.

Could you please confirm:

  1. Whether MongoDB resource optimization/utilization reporting can be enabled in Cloudability.
  2. What utilization metrics and recommendations will be available for MongoDB resources.
  3. If this feature is enabled, how can we generate resource optimization reports separately for Azure and AWS?
  4. Whether the reports can identify idle or underutilized MongoDB resources and provide historical utilization data.
  5. Whether the reports can be scheduled or exported for periodic review with the respective application owners.

Cloudability supports AWS and Azure data as part of its multi-cloud cost-management capabilities, so it would be useful to understand the MongoDB-specific coverage available in our 

This will help us establish a more structured approach to MongoDB cost optimization across both Azure and AWS.
