Hi @imran-baig-se,
When you start an instance of kube-opex-analytics, you choose with the config variable COST_MODEL (see Readme) if you want to handle costs or utilization (not both at a time).

So all the charts you have on the graphs are all based on the unit selected (cost, cumulative utilization, or utilization ratio).

To switch cost model you need to restart the container with the appropriate configuration variables (see https://github.com/rchakode/kube-opex-analytics#cost-models).

The unit of usage is not more displayed on the dashboard, but you can call the endpoint /static/data/backend.json of your instance to retrieve this information.

Hi @imran-baig-se,
As of version v20.03.3 just released, the usage accounting unit is now displayed on the dashboard.
