What's new in v4.6
SquaredUp for Azure v4.6 includes the following new features:
- Cost Management tile insights
- Support for Azure Lighthouse
- Open Access theme setting

Cost Management Insights
Gain deeper insights into your Microsoft Azure spend with our updated Cost visualisation tiles. Building upon the great new Cost Management tiles added in the previous release, you can now find out which resources are costing the most by rolling over the subscription and resource group segments in the Sunburst, and with the new drill down functionality the perspective for that segment is only ever one click away!
As well as enhancing the Cost tiles, version 4.6 also brings changes to the out of the box dashboards; this release includes an all new Cost Overview dashboard and the Subscriptions Overview has been updated to now include Cost Management tiles.
See How to use the Cost Management tile for more information.
Support for Azure Lighthouse
SquaredUp for Azure has been fully tested with Azure Lighthouse and is fully compatible.
Azure Lighthouse provides centralised management capabilities for service providers and enterprise IT organizations across multiple tenants.

Cost Management tile
Create new Cost tiles to enhance your ability to see what you are spending the most on in Azure across different levels, like resource groups, subscriptions, and resource types. You can identify cost increases over time with SquaredUp's line graphs, or determine areas of cost with the tree map and sun burst visualisations.
See How to use the Cost Management tile for more information.
Log Analytics visualisations
You can now use line graphs and donuts in the Log Analytics tile to provide enhanced visualisations of Azure Monitor logs, as well as showing log data as either a scalar number or in grid tabular form.
Alerts donuts and drilldowns
SquaredUp for Azure version 4.5 includes a new Alerts donut tile to summarise alerts for different scopes by severity, resolved state etc - with drilldowns to underlying alert information.
Performance tile enhancements
We have now added a heatmap visualisation so you can quickly identify problems across a set of resources. This allows you to split metrics by dimensions – so, for example, you can show availability for each test or each location for any app monitored by AppInsights.
Export to Excel
Export the data from your whole dashboard to Excel for further analysis or sharing.
