Ingest provider data

Use the Manual Ingestion screen to ingest and enrich data from a public or a custom provider.
Ingesting data is how the dashboards are populated, which can help see asset costs, track spending, and identify underused resources.
On the ingestion page, you view the last ingested data; however, if any other ingestion is running and is in post-processing date. The last ingestion time will not show on the manual Ingestion page during this duration.
