   with next version this might be difficult as you have to define your own queries for cost reporting.

   it also depends what you need/want.

   @mblaschke will next version we have the option to continue pull all cost metrics - in stead of queries for cost?

   When it comes to graphs, its much more practical to generate and experiment with the prom queries in grafana, having all data available.

   Using azure-resourcemanager-exporter:22.12.0-beta4 and

     SCRAPE_TIME_COSTS: "5m"
     COSTS_REQUEST_DELAY: "30s"
   

   I have achieved a "balance" where I don't hit any rate limits for cost. Having all data in Prometheus we can experiment and generate useful dashboards.

   The "legacy" option is using a fixed query which might not be that useful for metrics depends what your use case it.

   The plan is to only offer queries so you can/have to define what metrics you want. That's what's already available in the beta versions.

   So to get the current version you might want something like:
   COSTS_QUERY_resourceGroup=ResourceGroupName
   which gives you the list of costs per resourcegroup.

   The new version is also caching costs either on local disc (eg. PVC) or can store the data in a storageaccount. With caching you could set scrape time of cost query to 12 or 24h.
