Which feature is NOT available by default in the Cost Analysis tool in OCI?

The Cost Analysis tool in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is designed to provide insights into spending and resource utilization within your cloud environment. Among its key features is the ability to filter costs based on various parameters to help users analyze their expenses more effectively.

Filtering costs by compartments, tags, and date are features readily available by default. Compartments help in organizing and segmenting resources, tags provide a way to categorize resources and costs according to defined criteria, and date filtering allows users to view costs for specific periods, crucial for tracking spending trends over time.

However, filtering costs by application is not available as a default feature in the Cost Analysis tool. While it is possible to set up applications within OCI resources and subsequently track their costs through tags, the specific functionality to filter costs directly by application is not included by default. Users looking for application-level cost insights might need to implement custom tagging strategies or utilize third-party tools that can help achieve that level of specificity.

This understanding reinforces the importance of familiarizing oneself with the available features of the tools provided by OCI to maximize their effectiveness in financial management and cost tracking.
