Predictive levels
Choosing predictive levels for gcp_cost resulted in a crash of the check. This option was removed. If you have a rule using "Predictive levels" for gcp_cost it will be updated to be "No Levels".
Discovery
Previous to this change it was possible that not all projects were available for monitoring.
Query
The old query did not include credits based costs.
Metrics
Each check now creates a metric of the current costs.
Check output
Previously the check showed the accumulated costs for the current month, and the total costs of the previous month. Each query costs money based on how many rows are accessed, so showing the costs of the whole previous month is costing money, so we decided to remove this output. As we added the metric, it is now possible to visually compare the current month's costs with the previous month's cost.
