FAQ Azure onboarding

  1. How do I import historical data into Anodot?
    To bring historical data into Anodot, you need to create a one-time export for each month you want to import. Store these exports in the same container and directory as your current exports, then notify Anodot support so we can collect the data into our platform. Please remember to create one export per month. For instance, if you need data for the past three months, you should create three separate exports, one for each month.



  2. Can I view data from multiple exports in a single Anodot account?
    Yes, to see data from multiple exports in one account, ensure all exports are stored in the same container and directory.

  3. Why am I not seeing any recommendations in Anodot?

    To view recommendations, make sure you’ve granted the “Monitoring Reader” role to all relevant subscriptions. For detailed guidance, click here.

  4. How can I connect both Actual and Amortized data in Anodot?
    First, create an export with Actual costs and onboard it into Anodot. Then, create a separate Amortized cost export and onboard it into a new account in Anodot.

  7. Can I see all of my Azure accounts in Anodot in the same place?
