new purview pas-as-you-go cost
Dear community,
Can someone help me understand the new pay-as-you-go base cost for purview please?
There is no scheduled job and no activity in purview (search).
There are some sources registered (remaining from a poc), but the assets dropped.
This is an enterprise version.
Is the minimum cost, or have I missed something?
what should I check to get more detailed information about the cost?
The cost breakdown is the following.
thanks

Hello Zoltan_Csonka,
The best place to understand pricing is from:
Pricing - Microsoft Purview | Microsoft Azure
For tenant specific cost analysis, the information that you shared is what we have and the granular drill down of cost analysis of jobs is not available as of today but is in the roadmap. Refer to: Billing FAQ for the new Microsoft Purview Unified Catalog | Microsoft Learn
For pricing, specific to the entities you shared in the screenshot, here are the details on how the cost works, (the same is also available in the pricing portal)
Hope this helps!Microsoft Purview Data Governance | Enterprise Data Management
Data management usage is billed based on the Data Governance Processing Unit (DGPU) pay-as-you-go meters. A DGPU (1 DGPU) is the equivalent to 60 minutes of fully-managed compute time, taken to produce data management results. DGPU is available in three different performance options: Basic, standard, and advanced. By default any data management rule or health control is run on the Basic SKU. A customer can switch SKU’s based on the speed of compute suitable for their organization. Learn more.
For example, if a customer runs 100 Data Management rules and controls in a single day, and each run produces 0.02 DGPU with the Basic SKU, then the total DGPU for that day would equal two DGPU, costing the customer €28.791. See the table below for pricing for Data Health Management feature by SKU in US East pricing.
Feature SKU Pay-As-You-Go Price Data Health Management Basic €14.40 per Data Governance Processing Unit Microsoft Purview Data Governance | Enterprise Data Catalog
Microsoft Purview Data Governance Enterprise Catalog is billed based on a single meter, data catalog, that is initiated when customers govern unique data assets. Data assets such as tables, views, AI models, semantic models, and many others that are linked to governance concepts in the product, such as data products and critical data elements, are counted as governed assets. Assets that are collected in the Purview Data Map, but not linked to the governance concepts aren't counted as governed assets.
For example, if an organization has 500 tables, views, stored procedures, resource sets, and AI models in their data map, while only 200 unique governed assets in the data catalog, the monthly cost, for 30-days, would be €95.970 (without discounts). The 300 assets that aren't linked to the data products or critical data elements aren't considered governed assets and therefore not counted. Data catalog managed assets are priced uniformly across regions. This pay-as-you-go model for a managed asset is prorated based on days governed within the monthly billing cycle.

~€0.48 per monthData Map Consumption / Elastic data Map
By default, a Microsoft Purview account is provisioned with a Data Map of at least 1 Capacity Unit. 1 Capacity Unit supports requests of up to 25 data map operations per second and includes storage of up to 10 GB of metadata about data assets. The first 1 MB of Data Map meta data storage is free for all customers.
The Data Map can scale capacity elastically based on the request load. Request load is measured in terms of data map operations per second. As a cost control measure, a Data Map is configured by default to elastically scale within the elasticity window.
A data map operation is a create, read, update, or delete of an entity in the Data Map. Examples of an entity include a data asset or a lineage relationship between two data assets. A search request may require multiple operations depending on the assets returned and complexity of the request. The storage size of an entity may vary depending on the type of entity and annotations associated with the entity.
Data Map requires an additional Capacity Unit for every 10 GB of metadata storage required. For example, a Data Map with 10 GB of metadata storage is billed at 1 Capacity Unit per hour. If the addition of new data assets increases the size to 10.1 GB, the Data Map is billed at 2 Capacity Unit per hour.
Meter Price Capacity Unit €0.395 per Capacity Unit per Hour Insights Generation
Insights Generation aggregates metadata and classifications in the raw Data map into enriched, executive-ready reports that can be visualized in the Data Estate Insights application and granular asset level information in business-friendly format that can be exported. Report visualization and export incurs charges from Insights Report Consumption in the Data Estate Insights application.
Meter Price Report Generation €0.787 per 1 vCore Hour Note: By default, Insights Generation is enabled at provisioning and can be turned off in the Management center of Microsoft Purview governance portal. Disabling Insights Generation will stop refreshing of reports in the Data Estate Insights application. By default, Insights Generation runs automatically based on Data Map updates.
