# Kubecost Grafana Dashboards
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kubecost, by default, ships with a Grafana instance that already contains the dashboards in this repo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The dashboards in this repo are templated for those wanting to load the dashboards into an existing Grafana instance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Caveats
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that the only method to get accurate costs (reconciled with cloud provider billing) is to use the Kubecost API. Prometheus contains real-time metrics that can only estimate costs using custom pricing or onDemand cloud provider rates.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The primary purpose of the dashboards provided is to allow visibility into the metrics used by Kubecost to create the cost-model.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The networkCosts-metrics dashboard requires the optional networkCosts daemonset to be [enabled](https://docs.kubecost.com/install-and-configure/advanced-configuration/network-costs-configuration).
