Getting started

This is the first session in the portal: sign in, connect a cloud, wait for data, then look around.

You need an account from Koltto. If you are on the waitlist, you will get an email when that is ready. Marketing site: koltto.com.

1. Sign in

Open the portal and sign in with the email you were invited with.

If you forgot the password, use Forgot password. You can turn on two-factor authentication later under Profile.

If you belong to more than one company, pick the company in the workspace switcher at the top.

2. Confirm the company can use the product

The portal will stop you until both of these are true:

1. The company has an active subscription. If you see that it does not, email support@koltto.com.
2. The company has at least one cloud account. Add one under Account → Cloud accounts.

3. Connect a cloud

See Cloud connections. Today that is AWS or Oracle Cloud.

Adding an AWS account starts a first inventory refresh by itself. For Oracle Cloud, inventory starts after you add Koltto’s public key and confirm it — see Oracle Cloud.

4. Wait for data, then open Overview

Cost and metrics are not instant. After the first inventory run:

1. Go to Account → Refresh data.
2. Run Inventory, Cost, and Metrics for the clouds you connected.
3. When the run finishes, open Overview.

If Overview still looks empty, the refresh may still be running, or billing data may not be ready yet (a new AWS CUR or OCI cost report can take up to 24 hours for the first file). Check Refresh history on the Refresh data page.

5. Learn the rest of the sidebar

Work left to right in Costs, then Resources:
