  • Depending on the storage type, different location information is shown. For example:
    • Built-in Local: shows Path and your storage path (default /data).
    • AWS S3: shows Bucket and your bucket path.
    • Azure Blob: shows Account, Container, and related information.

This section shows how much storage each resource uses. The system tracks usage for three resources: Materialized View, SQL Query Result, and Tableau.

Usage is updated at one of two frequencies, depending on the resource type:

  • Scheduled (every 12 hours): Tableau

Hover over a bar to see when that resource was last updated.
