A tool to identify high-cost resources in GCP at a granular level

Prerequisites

• You must have Billing export for BigQuery enabled

• You must be authorized to create BigQuery jobs

• It is highly recommended that resources be labeled at a granular level. The granularity of the labels will be reflected in the results.

Installation

npm install -g

Usage

Execute gcp-accountant and answer the questions:

$ gcp-accountant
? What is the billing dataset called? (Use arrow keys)
❯ billing
  not-billing
  not-billing-either
[..]

How it works

First, gcp-accountant makes use of inquirer and the Google BigQuery Client Library for Node.js to gather some info from the user:

1. The name of the billing dataset
2. The name of the billing table
3. The invoice month to perform cost analysis on in YYYYMM format

Then gcp-accountant runs queries on the data by means of the aforementioned BigQuery client and the results are then displayed in the terminal by means of cliui and chalk.
