View Datadog costs, usage trends, and projected end-of-month costs in a single page, with daily breakdowns, product-level detail, and multi-organization filtering.
The Bill Overview page gives administrators a single view of Datadog costs and usage. It is automatically enabled during the phased rollout starting March 2026.
Global filters
The following filters apply to the Bill Overview page:
- Product Category: Filter all views by broader product family, such as Infrastructure, APM, Logs, Security, or AI/ML.
- Billing Dimension: Filter to a specific billing or metering dimension (for example, Infra Hosts, Indexed Logs, or Synthetic Browser Tests).
- Sub-Org: Filter to a specific child organization.
- Group by Sub-Org: Toggle to group costs by sub-organization.
- Time range: Select a billing period. Use the backward and forward arrows to navigate from month to month.
Cost summary
At the top of the page, the cost summary shows:
- Estimated cost to date: Total estimated cost for the days elapsed in the current billing period
- Projected total: Estimated total cost if current usage patterns continue through end of month, with month-over-month percentage change
Daily Cost Breakdown
Below the cost summary, the Daily Cost Breakdown stacked bar chart shows costs broken down by billing dimension for each day of the selected period. Each color in the chart represents a different billing dimension. Click the expand icon to view the chart full screen.
Trends tab
The Trends tab displays products worth investigating based on four sort options:
- Highest % Cost Change
- Highest Cost Change ($)
- Highest Total Cost
- Highest % Usage Change
Select a sort option to update the cards displayed. Each product card shows:
- Total Cost for the period
- Projected EOM cost
- Month-over-month change, displayed as a percentage badge
- Daily Cost bar chart spanning the previous and current month
- Usage, displayed as total units consumed, in natural units; for example, PB (petabytes) of scanned data, Custom Metrics; displayed only on Total Cost and Usage-related cards
Click View Details on any card to open the product detail page.
Product List tab
The Product List tab shows all billing dimensions in a table with cost and usage side by side.
Click anywhere on a product row to open the product detail page. Hover over the end of a row to quickly create a cost monitor for that billing dimension.
