![../_images/9instancetype.png](https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/api/document/sd00007732en_us/GUID-A7B59327-4830-4BD7-9653-DBC1F89E3304-high.png)

The Instance Type Usage dashboard organizes workloads meeting dashboard filters by their Instance type. In additional to counts, administrators can view resource consumption and cost figures by Instance type groupings as well.

## Filters

Filter the workloads pulled into the dashboard by one or more of the following fields:

- Instance type name (all matching search terms, Morpheus-default Instance types are not included when using the search filter)
- Metric (apply to see the top Instance types by workload count, price, memory, storage, or CPU cores)
- Group
- Cloud
- Tenant
- Tag (Key)
- Value (Tag value)

## Data Displayed

The following aggregate totals are compiled for workloads that meet set filters:

- **TYPES:** The total number of Instance types represented among workloads meeting the dashboard filters
- **INSTANCES:** The total number of Instances represented in the data
- **MONTH TO DATE:** The total spend in the current month for selected workloads
- **PROJECTED:** The total projected current-month spend for selected workloads
- **MEMORY:** The total memory allotted to selected workloads
- **STORAGE:** The total storage allotted to selected workloads

## Instance Type Usage List

Each Instance type represented in the dashboard is listed below the graph. For each Instance type shown, we see the number of Groups the Instance type is represented in, the number of Clouds the Instance type has been provisioned into, and the total amount of memory allotted to workloads of each Instance type.
