Configure the team label as a telemetry attribution label in Cost Management and Billing.

Estimated time: 2 min

Configure team as an attribution label

In this milestone, you configure team as an attribution label in Cost Management and Billing. Grafana Cloud then attributes the cost of your metrics to each team.

Keep the following in mind as you configure the label:

  • Attribution is configured for each stack. Repeat the steps for every stack you want to report on.
  • Attribution starts when you save the label. Grafana Cloud doesn’t attribute earlier usage.
  • You can configure up to 2 labels, and their combined cardinality can’t exceed 1,000 unique combinations.
  • If you already have a primary label, team becomes your secondary label.
  • Telemetry without the team label is classified as unattributed.

To configure the attribution label, complete the following steps:

  1. Go to Cost Management and Billing.

  2. Click the Settings tab.

  3. Under Telemetry attribution, click Configure an attribution label. If you already have an attribution label, click Select another attribution label instead.

    In the panel that opens:

    1. In Select Metrics Key, select team. Grafana Cloud suggests matching keys for logs and traces.
    2. Review the suggested logs and traces keys, and the Label Name. The label name is a display name in Cost Management and Billing reports. It’s not a label on your telemetry.
    3. Click the save button at the bottom of the panel. For your first label, the button reads Save Primary Label.

  4. Confirm that team is listed under Telemetry attribution as your primary or secondary label.

You configured team as an attribution label. Attribution reports can take up to 24 hours to appear after you save the label.

In the next milestone, you review cost by team.
