L2

Team attribution and shared resources

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to distribute shared-resource costs equitably across consuming teams, identify when equal split is wrong and what to change when it is, and drive the Unattributed bucket toward zero.

Tag attribution

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to attribute cost across any tag dimension (cost-center, environment, project, campaign), distinguish cloud-native tags from ZopNight's auto-tags, and know where tag attribution stops and team attribution starts.

L5

Unit economics: cost per X

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to configure a unit metric in ZopNight, trace cost-per-X over time, and avoid the most common denominator and source-pipeline pitfalls.

Push, pull, CSV ingest

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to choose the right ingest path for unit-metric data, configure each path correctly, and reason about the SSRF guard on Pull API.
