In this guide, you'll learn how to use the metrics dashboard in the Azure portal to view how many pages were processed by Azure AI Document Intelligence. You'll also learn how to estimate the cost of processing those pages using the Azure pricing calculator.

Check how many pages were processed

We'll start by looking at the page processing data for a given time period:

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.

  2. Navigate to your Document Intelligence resource.

  3. From the Overview page, select the Monitoring tab located near the middle of the page.

Estimate price

Now that we have the page processed data from the portal, we can use the Azure pricing calculator to estimate the cost:

  1. Sign in to Azure pricing calculator with the same credentials you use for the Azure portal.

    Press Ctrl + right-click to open in a new tab!

  2. Search for Azure AI Document Intelligence in the Search products search box.

  3. Select Azure AI Document Intelligence and you'll see that it has been added to the page.

  4. Under Your Estimate, select the relevant Region, Payment Option and Instance for your Document Intelligence resource. For more information, see Azure AI Document Intelligence pricing options.

  5. Enter the number of pages processed from the Azure portal metrics dashboard. That data can be found using the steps in sections Check how many pages are processed or Examine analyzed pages, above.

  6. The estimated price is on the right, after the equal (=) sign.
