more grafana dashboards - even for billing/accounting

[rdxmb]

As just discussed with Syseleven sales, there is actually no GUI to get forecasts for billing. This is important in dynamic scaling environments like autoscaled systems in kubernetes.

One idea is to add some stuff in grafana dashboards, this could even be pricing variables etc.

Could you please think/talk about that?

If you do not want that, we will probably make another public repository in our customer github account.

This is actually a beautiful idea how to get a rough prediction for the upcoming invoice, to combine the usage with the price. I'm not sure if this can or should be configured in grafana or in the exporter (ideally in a configuration file rather than hardcoded, but to prove the concept, you could try to mulitply prices directly in code, so that you get graphs of amounts instead of resources and can add them up). Although I personally like the idea, I can only propose it and not give any estimation. Feel free or even encouraged to implement it in your account and point us to it via a pull request.

Thanks for the positive response.

As I am no developer, I cannot do anything here with the exporter itself.

Doing this in grafana may overload the dashboards, but I would give it a try.
