Working with Events
You can define Events in the Cost & Usage Explorer to indicate a point in time where something happened. In turn, this helps you get a clearer understanding of the graph views in Umbrella Cost.
Once created, Events are shown on the Cost & Usage Explorer graph view, and can be edited and deleted as required.
Events are also supported in the API, as described here .
