Track compute resource consumption and query usage across the platform.
## Overview The Usage page provides an operational view of compute resource consumption across the DeltaForge platform. While the Metering page focuses on billing-period detail, the Usage page is oriented toward day-to-day monitoring and optimization. Data engineers and platform administrators use it to identify expensive queries, track consumption trends over custom date ranges, and export usage data for external analysis. All data is retrieved from the control plane metering API. The page supports CSV export so that usage records can be imported into spreadsheets or business intelligence tools for further reporting. ## Key Features - View a usage summary dashboard showing total compute seconds, query count, and data scanned for a selected date range. - Rank queries by resource consumption to surface the most expensive operations. Each entry shows the query hash, execution count, total compute time, and average data scanned per execution. - Filter usage records by compute node, principal, workspace, or date range to isolate specific workloads. - Export the current filtered view to CSV for offline analysis or integration with external cost management tools. - Visualize usage trends over time with a time-series chart that plots daily or hourly consumption. ## Workflow 1. Navigate to Admin and select Usage. 2. Set the desired date range using the date picker. The default range is the current calendar week. 3. Review the summary dashboard for an at-a-glance view of total consumption. 4. Open the Top Queries panel to identify the most resource-intensive operations. Click any query to view its full text and execution history. 5. Apply filters (node, principal, workspace) to narrow the dataset when investigating a specific team or workload. 6. Click Export CSV to download the filtered records for external reporting.
