We can currently see RIs in a customer environment and a percentage of the RI's utilization. It would be nice to be able to see what VMs the RIs are being applied to for tracking/auditing. The current recommendations section just shows recommendations based off VMsizes within the environment, not necessarily if a specific machine could benefit from an RI.
Enhanced RI Utilization Reporting

Welcome to the community, Scott Key 🙂!
Loving that idea!
We can go to the customer's tenant to see the Reservation utilization, but it makes a lot of sense to have it in NMM.

Just as a side-note, we do have a way to notify on the utilization of a Reservation in NMM already.
Do you think that'll work for what you're wanting until we're able to add the functionality you're wanting in the product?

Not really looking to alert on if they aren't being utilized, more so just wanting to understand where they are being used, and if there is any other opportunity for other VMs that aren't currently being covered by RI.
Thanks for clarifying, Scott.
So, more of a Nerdio Advisor (Nerdio Advisor (Similar to Azure Advisor) – Nerdio Help Center) solution that will make recommendations around where you might could be saving more by utilizing an RI?
Somewhat, yes. We would like to be able to see which VMs are showing as “utilizing” the RIs, and any that may benefit from an RI or additional savings. Right now we see the 100% utilization on the RIs, but we don't know which VMs those are being applied to, and which ones may be being left out in the cold. We do our best to purchase RIs for all VMs we know will be on 24/7, but if there is something we are missing, it would be nice to see that too.
