The Estimated Cost page in the Google Cloud console shows the estimated cost of your current Dataflow
job. Estimated costs are calculated by multiplying the resource usage metrics
as shown in Cloud Monitoring by
the price of those resources in the job region.
To view the estimated cost for a job, perform the following steps:
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Dataflow >
Jobs page.
Job cost estimates are available for both batch and streaming jobs. The
Estimated Cost page in the Google Cloud console provides the following
information:
Details about which resources contribute to the job cost and by how much.
Resources include vCPUs, memory, Dataflow Shuffle data processed
or Streaming Engine data processed, and SSD and HDD disk usage.
Costs over specific time windows, such as: time since the job started, the previous
hour, the last 24 hours, the preceding seven days, and a user-specified time range.
You can use monitoring alerts to get notifications when your job costs cross a specified threshold.
You can also use alerts to make changes to your jobs, such as stopping or canceling jobs,
based on the thresholds that you set.
