Need OCI Pluggable Database costs in Cloudability

Pluggable Database costs are now available in the OCI CUR FIles, however, the costs are in a column named "attributed costs". Cloudability is not looking at this column and is missing the costs of Pluggable DBs.

    Currently in Cloudability, Oracle Exadata Pluggable Databases (PDB's) and Container Databases (CDB's) are surfaced with Zero costs. Oracle recently introduced 2 new columns in their CUR files : cost/attributedCost and usage/attributedUsage. https://blogs.oracle.com/cloud-infrastructure/post/native-attribution-pdb-costs-exadata-database

    The cost/attributedCost column contains the costs of PDBs and CDBs. Since Cloudability is unaware of these columns, theese database costs are surfaced incorrectly as Zero dollars. I hope this helps clear up the issue and requirement.

    Hi Team,


    Customer would like to have more clarity on what is needed further from their side on this. This idea has been marked as "need more information" however, the nature/details of information needed, has not been made clear to them. Any help or guidance in this regard would be highly appreciated!


    With regards,
