Budgets & Alerts

Budgets & Alerts is where you set spend caps and email rules so a surprise does not wait until someone opens Overview.

Budgets

  1. Create a budget with amount, period, and scope:
  2. Company — the whole workspace.
  3. Service — that category in every account and scope.
  4. One scope — every service inside that compartment or account.
  5. Region — that region.
  6. Each budget is its own cap. The same spend can count against a service budget and a scope budget.
  7. The table shows spent, %, and status for each monthly cap in the selected calendar month (not the 7D/30D bar). Quarterly and annual caps are listed; month-style tracking for those periods is limited today.
  8. Turn on Alert in the budget form if you want email at the alert %. Caps with Alert off stay silent. You still need a Budget threshold preference below so mail has somewhere to go.
  9. Use a template to start from a common pattern.

Alert preferences

Three channels exist:

  • Spend anomaly — a day that breaks its own spend pattern. The same spikes appear on Anomalies; email is optional.
  • Recommendation digest — Opportunities worth looking at.
  • Budget threshold — a cap hitting its alert %.

Adding a preference sets on/off and recipients for this company. Enable spend-anomaly mail here if you want spike emails as well as the Anomalies page. Daily email evaluate is still the last 30 days, even when the Anomalies header period is different.

Alert history

A log of emails Koltto tried to send (delivered or failed), filterable by date. It stays empty until evaluation runs (overnight worker, or Send test / evaluate now).

Resource appear/change diffs: Inventory Changes. Tag- and org-scoped budgets wait on Allocations (Coming soon).
