Finding outbound data egress used in OCI


Using the Always Free tier of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, I wanted to see how much of the free 10tb outbound data I was using.

Here are the steps I took to find out:

On the OCI Console, search up Cost Analysis - it’s under the Cost Management section.

We need to adjust some settings on this screen:

Afterwards, click Add Filter, and then select Service, then Network.

Hit Apply, scroll down and the outbound data usage will be shown like this:
