About

The Usage dashboard includes system reports on bandwidth, storage, and transcoding consumption to help you monitor your usage, and it consists of following pages: Overview, Publishers Bandwidth & Storage, and End Users Storage. You can select a specific time frame and compare time periods to dive deeper into the data and learn more about usage trends in your account. The filters are automatically applied to all elements of the dashboard. 

Change dashboard timeframe

Use the date picker at the top of the dashboard to change the timeframe and view data across different periods. You can select a preset time period or choose specific dates.

Preset time periods

Preset time periods are a quick way to look at recent data, such as the last week or the last month. You can also select longer periods, such as the current quarter or year.

Select a custom timeframe

1. Click the date picker and select the Specific Date Range tab.
2. In the calendar, click the first date of the timeframe.
3. Click the last date of the timeframe. The timeframe is marked on the calendar.
4. To narrow the timeframe to specific hours, use the hours filter. To select until midnight, enter 23:59.
5. Click Apply.

   

The dashboard displays the data for the selected timeframe.

Compare time periods

Compare time periods to understand your data in context, for example to account for seasonality or for changes in usage after you adopt new tools and capabilities.

You can compare with the same period last year, or with a period of the same length that starts on a date you choose. You can also use the hours filter to focus on specific hours.

1. Click the date picker and select the Specific Date Range tab.
2. Select the first time period you want to explore.
3. Select the Compare with Another Period checkbox.
4. Choose the period to compare with:

• Same Period as Last Year - Compares with the same dates one year earlier. For example, if the first period is March 15, 2026 to March 21, 2026, it's compared with March 15, 2025 to March 21, 2025.
• Same Period Starting At - Compares with a period of the same length that starts on the date you select. For example, to compare a week in March with a week in February, select March 15, 2026 to March 21, 2026 as the first period, then set the starting date to February 15, 2026. The first period is compared with February 15, 2026 to February 21, 2026.

Click Apply.

The dashboard displays the data for both periods.

To return to viewing a single time period, click Exit Compare Mode next to the date picker.
