Cerebrium runs serverless GPU and CPU apps. Each app bills for the compute, memory, and GPU time of its containers. CostGraph reads Cerebrium as FOCUS 1.2 records at a grain of one record per app per day, plus the month-level charges and credits that are not tied to an app.

​
Choose how the data reaches us

CostGraph pulls it

You supply read-only credentials and we call Cerebrium once a day. Nothing to run.

You push it

You send us FOCUS records over the API. Credentials never leave your infrastructure.

​
Before you begin

  • In the Cerebrium dashboard, go to API Keys and create a service account. Copy its token.
  • To export a single project, note its project id, which starts with p-. Leave it empty and every project the service account can access is exported.

​
Let CostGraph pull

  1. Open Settings > Integrations and pick Cerebrium.
  2. Name the connection and pick the tenant these charges belong to.
  3. Enter the values you copied. The form lists what Cerebrium needs and marks the optional ones.
  4. Select Connect.
CostGraph verifies the credentials with a short fetch before saving, so a wrong value or a missing permission fails while you are still on the form.
Credentials are encrypted at rest and used only to read billing data. Revoke them in Cerebrium at any time and the connection stops; nothing else is affected.

​
Push it yourself

Send the charges to CostGraph as FOCUS records instead. Push FOCUS data covers the connection id, the focus:write key, and the request shape.

​
Run the exporter

Rather than build that request yourself, run our exporter. It reads Cerebrium on a schedule and pushes the records for you, wherever you want to run it: a container, a Kubernetes CronJob, or a binary on a machine you already have.
Your Cerebrium credential stays where you put it, and only the finished FOCUS records reach CostGraph. Run the exporter covers the three ways to run it and the variables it reads.

​
What CostGraph does with it

Records land as raw billing rows, are normalised into line items, and roll up into daily cost. From there Cerebrium spend appears in Cost Overview and in anomaly detection alongside every other provider. Each app shows its daily cost. For apps that still exist in the current and previous month, the cost is also split into CPU, memory, and GPU, with the hardware the app runs on.
