Cost Analysis and Optimization across multiple subscription within single tenant to be created on single dashboard.
We would like to build a dashboard which can give us cost analysis of all the subscription within single tenant. This is should also have the integration with Azure Advisor to create a visualization to point management for specific Action Items like downgrading the family size base on utilization OR making VMs to RI to achieve cost benefits. This should be across different resource type in Azure subscriptions.
Need help in creating such visualization on top either Azure dashboard or using Grafana with Azure Monitor to create such visualization.

To create a dashboard that provides cost analysis and optimization recommendations across multiple subscriptions within a single tenant, you can use Azure Cost Management and Azure Advisor.
Azure Cost Management provides a unified view of your Azure spending across multiple subscriptions and resource groups. You can use Cost Management to create custom cost analysis reports, set budgets and alerts, and optimize your spending by identifying areas where you can reduce costs.
Azure Advisor provides personalized recommendations to help you optimize your Azure resources for high availability, security, performance, and cost. You can use Advisor to identify underutilized resources, right-size virtual machines, and purchase reserved instances to save money.
To create a dashboard that integrates both Cost Management and Advisor, you can use Azure Dashboards or Grafana with Azure Monitor.
With Azure Dashboards, you can create a custom dashboard that includes cost analysis reports and Advisor recommendations. You can add widgets to the dashboard to display charts and tables that show your spending trends, budget status, and optimization recommendations.
With Grafana and Azure Monitor, you can create a custom dashboard that includes cost analysis reports and Advisor recommendations. You can use the Azure Monitor data source plug-in to visualize your Azure Monitor metrics and logs, and the Azure Cost Management data source plug-in to visualize your cost data. You can also use the Azure Advisor API to retrieve Advisor recommendations and display them in your Grafana dashboard.
To get started with creating a cost analysis and optimization dashboard, you can follow these steps:
Set up Azure Cost Management to collect cost data from your subscriptions and resource groups.
Set up Azure Advisor to provide recommendations for optimizing your Azure resources.
Create a custom dashboard in Azure Dashboards or Grafana.
Add widgets to the dashboard to display cost analysis reports and Advisor recommendations.
Customize the dashboard to meet your specific needs, such as adding filters and drill-down capabilities.
By following these steps, you can create a dashboard that provides a unified view of your Azure spending and optimization recommendations across multiple subscriptions within a single tenant.
Hope this helps!

Azure Cost Management only provides cost details on a per-subscription basis. My requirement is to see the total cost of all subscriptions.

2024-05-10T19:30:38.04+00:00 @Ameer Ali If you are on Enterprise Agreement, you can create a view in Cost Analysis at Management Group scope with grouping by subscription. Then save the view and pin it in the dashboard.
You are not an EA, then also you can create a view at your Billing Profile scope and group by subscriptions.
Here are few useful links to refer:
