Account usage data

There are a few locations in the Cloudinary Console where you can view statistics, graphs, and other important information about your account usage. In addition, you can receive account usage information via an email notification.

Dashboard

You can view a variety of summary details and trend graphs covering your overall account usage in terms of transformations, total assets, used storage, and used bandwidth. You can also view all add-ons you've registered to, and your current plan and usage on each.

This information is displayed just below the Product Environment section in your Dashboard.

To navigate to your Dashboard, make sure Programmable Media is selected in the Product Selector located at the top left of your Console, and select Dashboard from the Product Navigation menu.

The following sections describe the data available on your Dashboard and how you can leverage that information.

Plan Current Usage

View your current plan and its credit details, including your monthly bandwidth, storage and transformation quota. See how much of your month's credit you've already used up to help you plan the rest of the month's activities, or to decide to upgrade your plan, which you can also do here.

Usage Overview

Learn how many transformations, how much bandwidth and how much storage you've used over a selected period of time:

• Across your entire account:
• Within your selected product environment:
  Data per product environment is presented on a more granular level and usage is presented per asset type. For example, you can see how many of the total transformations consisted of images or videos.

Error Summary

See how your errors are distributed across the different error types during a selected period of time. Use this information to alert you to problem areas that you should focus on.

For example, if you have a disproportionately large number of 401 - Unauthorized errors, you might choose to check why your system is experiencing so many unauthorized attempts.

Click Go to Error Reporting to view the errors graphed over time. You can also see all the errors that were reported on a specific date, which can also help you pinpoint problem areas.

Reports

Delivery Reports

The Delivery Reports page has a large variety of usage details that can help you to analyze how your users are interacting with your published assets.

To view your delivery reports, select Programmable Media from the Product Selector located at the top left of your Console, and select Delivery Reports from the Reports menu.
