Understand and track your IrisX credit consumption

Use the credit consumption dashboard to understand how your IrisX credits are being consumed, and track changes over time.

The credit consumption dashboard provides insights into your credit consumption and helps you identify where your credits are being consumed.

See Understanding your IrisX invoice for information on how you are billed for your credit consumption.

Access your credit consumption dashboard

Note: You need access to IrisX Analytics to view the credit consumption dashboard.

An admin can grant access by going to IrisX Library → IrisX Analytics Permission, selecting the relevant account, and then using the three-dot menu next to the user to grant access (view access is sufficient).

You can access the credit consumption dashboard through Trackunit Manager, or by logging directly into your IrisX workspace in Databricks.

Via Trackunit Manager:

  1. Go to the IrisX Library.

  2. Select any tile under Analytics & Insights.

  3. From your IrisX workspace in Databricks, select Dashboards from the left-hand side navigation.

  4. Open the IrisX Credits Consumption dashboard from the list of dashboards, or by using the search field.

Filter your consumption

By default, the credit consumption dashboard shows year-to-date consumption and includes all IrisX capabilities.

Use the Global filters on the left-hand side of the credit consumption dashboard to focus on the consumption that matters to you.

You can filter by:

  • Period

  • IrisX capability

Keep the credit consumption dashboard refreshed

Every time you open the dashboard, make sure to click Refresh in the upper left corner. The dashboard does not update on its own the next time you open it.

Understand your credit consumption

When opening the credit consumption dashboard, you’ll land on the overview page:

  • Current month vs last month: how your consumption in the current month compares with the previous month.

  • Last updated: when the consumption data was last refreshed.*

  • Total credits: the total number of credits consumed during the period selected in the Global filters.

  • Completed months in the selected period: your credit consumption for each completed calendar month within the selected period, including the monthly average.

*Note: The credit consumption dashboard updates daily, with a 48-hour delay. This means the latest consumption data shown will always be from two days earlier. For example, on a Friday, the dashboard will show consumption data up to and including the prior Wednesday.

Setting your Global filter to "Yesterday" or "Today" will therefore always result in an empty dashboard.

If no IrisX capabilities were used in the last 48 hours, the last updated date will be the last time an IrisX capability was used.

Track your consumption over time

Use Completed months in the selected period to see at a glance which months had credit consumption above or below your normal pattern.

You can use it to:

  • Compare your current consumption with previous periods.

  • Identify increases or decreases in consumption.

  • See whether a change is temporary or part of a longer-term trend.

See what is consuming your credits

Under Additional details, use the By Feature view to understand where your credits are being consumed.

This can help you answer questions such as:

  • Which features are contributing most to my overall consumption?

  • Which features have increased their consumption compared with last month?

  • What caused a recent increase/decrease in my total credit consumption?

Each capability is broken down into individual features. The monthly values show how many credits were consumed by each feature you used.

Drill down into your consumption

Select a capability, feature, or monthly credit value in the By Feature view to investigate your consumption in more detail and determine which IrisX capability is consuming the most credits.

The table below automatically updates based on your selection. Use it to break down your consumption by month, week, or day, making it easier to identify when credits were consumed.

Note: Currently, it is not possible to break down consumption based on individual users or use cases.

Check how IrisX features are metered

Open the Status tab to see the IrisX capabilities and features that consume credits and how each feature is metered.

You can also use this tab to see the change log, which shows the history of adjustments made to consumption metering as well as any planned future updates that may impact you.

Understand the IrisX credit consumption on your invoice

The credit consumption dashboard helps you understand how your credits are being used, while your invoice shows how much you are being charged for your credit consumption.

To compare the credit consumption billed on your invoice with the consumption dashboard, use the Global filters to select the period covered by your invoice.
