How to find out the total cost of a specific VM

I've downloaded the usage statistics file from billing section and I could see the data categorized by different type of resources consumed by a virtual machine. Eg.

Name ResourceGuid Unit Consumed
"Virtual Machines" "1b4d8861-8cbc-40c8-88f9-e1b78509c3be" "GB" 0.000158
"Networking" "9995d93a-7d35-4d3f-9c69-7a7fea447ef4" "Hours" 11.100002
"Data Management" "964c283a-83a3-4dd4-8baf-59511998fe8b" "10,000s" 6.8899
"Storage" "0e9d0c9b-ab6d-4312-9c7e-3794e22af9c4" "GB" 0.436496

I'm looking for a way to retrieve the ResourceGuid of all the resources linked to a particular VM, to find out the total cost of it (VM + Networking + Data Management + Storage)

Is it possible through Service Management API? Or any other means?

Hi,

This issue is related with billing, I would suggest you contact with azure support: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/contact/, it is the best choice for you. I find a releated voice, it discusses to display the total fee before created service, here is the link: http://feedback.azure.com/forums/170030-billing/suggestions/6478992-display-total-fee, please vote it.

Hi Jambor,

Thank you for helping me out.

What I'm looking is, given that I know my Virtual Machine's ResourceGuid, how can I find out the ResourceGuids of Storage, Network & Data Management components associated with that specific VM.

Is there an API to retrieve this relation?

Hi,

As far as I know, there is no such API to retrieve the related resource, I would suggest you submit a new feedback in azure feedback forum: http://feedback.azure.com/forums/34192--general-feedback
