Vultr bills each instance, volume and service as an invoice line, so spend is attributed per product and resource, including the month not yet invoiced. CostGraph reads Vultr as FOCUS 1.2 records at a grain of invoice line x product x resource.

​
Choose how the data reaches us

CostGraph pulls it

You supply read-only credentials and we call Vultr 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 Vultr customer portal, go to Account > API and enable API access.
  • Use the key of a user that has the Billing permission.
  • Copy the API key.

​
Let CostGraph pull

  1. Open Settings > Integrations and pick Vultr.
  2. Name the connection and pick the tenant these charges belong to.
  3. Enter the values you copied. The form lists what Vultr 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 the API key in Vultr 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 Vultr 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 Vultr 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 Vultr spend appears in Cost Overview and in anomaly detection alongside every other provider.
