FOCUS dataset

FOCUS is a Google Cloud feature that exports the project’s cloud cost data to a BigQuery table. GENI Workflows reads that table to attribute cost to submissions, tasks and the rest.

Google’s setup guide: Set up FOCUS billing export to BigQuery.

What you need afterwards

Two values, both passed when creating the environment:

Value	Example
Table identifier, project.dataset.table	useful-loop-496215-i8.gcp_billing_immutable_01F464_AC8B27_889258_us.gcp_billing_export_focus_01F464_AC8B27_889258
Table location	us

Note

The FOCUS table is not required to create the environment. Without it, submissions run normally but carry no cost data. You can enable it later with geni environment update.
