Cloud Dashboards

he pre-built Value-Oriented Dashboards include the following cloud dashboards:

  • Multi-Cloud Consolidated Compute. This dashboard displays information about the compute resources in all the clouds in your environment. Compute resources are those resources that include CPU and memory and usually run software.

  • Multi-Cloud Idle Instance Spend. This dashboard displays information about idle cloud instances and the cost of those idle cloud instances.

  • Multi-Cloud Individual Compute. This dashboard displays information about the compute resources in each cloud in your environment. Compute resources are those resources that include CPU and memory and usually run software.

  • Multi-Cloud Public Cloud Object Stores. This dashboard includes information about all storage resources in all the clouds in your environment.

Required Connectors

To find all the assets in your environment, including all the cloud assets in your environment, Lucidum recommends you configure Lucidum connectors for:

  • The Endpoint Management solutions in your environment (for example, Jamf, Intune, Citrix Endpoint Management, Symantec Endpoint Management, Hexnode)

  • The Endpoint Protection solutions in your environment (for example, Trellix Endpoint Security, Symantec Endpoint Protection, SentinelOne, Crowdstrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint )

  • The Mobile Device Management solutions in your environment (for example, Addigy, Citrix Endpoint, Jamf Pro, Kandji)

  • The directory solutions in your environment (For example, Azure AD, Microsoft AD, Jump Cloud, PingOne, OpenLDAP,)

  • The DHCP solutions in your environment (For example, Infoblox, Efficient IP, BlueCat)

  • The VPN solutions in your environment (For example, Cisco AnyConnect, FortiClient, Palo Alto VPN, Citrix Gateway, Zscaler Private Access)

  • The cloud solutions in your environment (for example, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud)

Syntax

When you see :: in a query, this means that the query includes a list member. For example:

Tag::Key

looks like this in the Query Builder

Multi-Cloud Consolidated Compute

The Multi-Cloud Consolidated Compute dashboard displays information about the compute resources in all the clouds in your environment. Compute resources are those resources that include CPU and memory and usually run software.

The Multi-Cloud Consolidated Compute dashboard looks like this:

Base Query

Most of the charts in this dashboard use the following as a base query:

Lucidum_VOD_Cloud_Compute match Yes

Lucidum_VOD_Cloud_Compute is a Dynamic Field. Dynamic Fields are shortcuts for more complex queries. Lucidum_VOD_Cloud_Compute is a shortcut for this query:

Cloud Asset (yes/no) == Yes AND Asset Type == VM

This means that Lucidum_VOD_Cloud_Compute matches “yes” when an asset is a cloud asset and additionally, that asset is a cloud asset of type “VM”.

If you wanted to create a dashboard for a different type of cloud instance, you can supply a different asset type in the query. To view all Asset Types in your Lucidum system, in the Query Builder, select Asset Type. The value field includes a list of available Asset Types to choose from.

Multi-Cloud Idle Instance Spend

The Multi-Cloud Idle Instance Spend dashboard displays information about idle cloud instances and the cost of those idle cloud instances.

The Multi-Cloud Idle Instance Spend dashboard looks like this:

Base Query

Most of these charts use the base query:

Lucidum_VOD_Cloud_Computer match Yes AND Idle Instance (yes/no) == Yes

Lucidum_VOD_Cloud_Compute is a Dynamic Field. Dynamic Fields are shortcuts for more complex queries. Lucidum_VOD_Cloud_Compute is a shortcut for this query:

Cloud Asset (yes/no) == Yes AND Asset Type == VM

This means that Lucidum_VOD_Cloud_Compute matches “yes” when an asset is a cloud asset and additionally, that asset is a cloud asset of type “VM”.

So the complete query is:

Cloud Asset (yes/no) == Yes AND Asset Type == VM AND Idle Instance (yes/no) == Yes

This means that matching assets are cloud assets, of type VM, and are idle.

Idle instances are those with consistently very low CPU usage.

If you wanted to create a dashboard for a different type of cloud instance, you can supply a different asset type in the query. To view all Asset Types in your Lucidum system, in the Query Builder, select Asset Type. The value field includes a list of available Asset Types to choose from.

Base Query

Most of the charts in this dashboard use something like the following as a base query:

Data Sources match azure_vms

This means that we are searching for assets whose data is stored in the database table “azure_vms”. When Lucidum ingests data from Azure, Lucidum automatically categorizes the ingested data and stores all the information about Azure VMs in the table “azure_vms”. If an instance appears in the database table “azure_vms”, it is an Azure VM.

If you wanted to create a dashboard for a different type of cloud instance, you can search for a different Data Source. To view all Data Sources in your Lucidum system, in the Query Builder, select Data Sources. The value field includes a list of available Data Sources to choose from.
