Usage Dashboard

The VARICON usage dashboard shows how anomaly activity translates into billable intelligence.

It connects system behavior, anomaly volume, and cost into a single view.

What this view is for

This view helps teams answer:

• how many anomalies were detected
• how many entered the intelligence layer (enriched)
• what usage is billable
• which recurring fingerprints drive cost

Why this matters

The same anomaly repeated 10,000 times is not 10,000 different problems.

It is one broken behavior repeated across many runs.

VARICON surfaces this through fingerprints, allowing teams to distinguish:

• unique issues
• repeated system failures
• noise vs signal

Key metrics

• anomalies detected (free layer)
• anomalies enriched (paid layer)
• billable anomalies (after free allowance)
• cost over time
• anomaly distribution across services

Billing connection

The dashboard reflects the core billing model:

• detection is always free
• enrichment creates billable units
• failed enrichment does not generate cost

This makes usage transparent and predictable.

Fingerprint-driven insight

Recurring fingerprints are the most important signal in the system.

They show:

• systemic failures
• regression patterns
• repeated contract violations

Instead of optimizing for fewer anomalies, teams optimize for:

fewer unique broken behaviors
