# Track Resource Usage

You can track the number of nodes, the size of the backup storage, and
the amount of transferred data during a selected period by viewing the data
in the *Usage* dashboard.

1. Select **Usage** from the top bar menu to open the dashboard and review the metrics
   displayed in the *Compute*, *Backup storage*, and *Network* graphs.

   Data in the *Backup storage* and *Network* graphs is displayed for clusters deployed
   in the ScyllaDB Cloud account. The graphs show no data for clusters provisioned with
   the Bring Your Own Account (BYOA) model.
2. Select the start and end dates from the calendar drop-down to specify
   the range of dates that you want to look at. Dates are shown in UTC.

   You can view usage data for July 1, 2023 and later.

## Compute

The *Compute* graph shows the number of nodes running during the selected period.

Choose the cluster for which you want to review data from the **Cluster** drop-down.
You can narrow down your choice by selecting a DC from the **Datacenter** drop-down.

## Backup storage

The *Backup storage* graph shows the amount of backup data in the selected period.

Choose the cluster for which you want to review data from the **Cluster** drop-down.
The data is displayed in AWS- or GCP-specific units, depending on where your
cluster is deployed (GB-Month or GiB-Seconds, correspondingly).

#### NOTE
The graph shows data from up to four days ago. For example, data from May 6
will be available on May 10 and later.

## Network

The *Network graph* shows the total amount of data transferred in and out of
all clusters in your account during the selected period.
By default, the graph displays data for all network types. You can narrow it
down by choosing one or more specific types from the **Network type** drop-down.
