    Many thanks for raising this idea.

    Can you (and others) provide examples of the requirements for chargeback and showback reporting and the financial inputs required. For example: do you have a fully loaded cost per VM, Host or Storage per vCPU, GiB etc that you'd need to declare to Turbonomic in order for it to use when summarising the costs. What outputs would be required and into what other systems?

    Thanks and regards,

    Simon Ravenscroft
