2. Copy and save the values of the CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET from service account with Cost OpenShift Viewer role.
3. In your OpenShift cluster console, navigate to WorkLoads > ConfigMaps.
4. Select the dynamic-plugins-rhdh configuration map.
5. Select the secrets-rhdh configuration map.
6. Click the YAML tab.

   CM_CLIENT_SECRET: # <CM_CLIENT_SECRET>

   where:

   <CM_CLIENT_ID>

   Specifies the value of the client ID of the service account with the Cost OpenShift Viewer role that you copied previously.

   <CM_CLIENT_SECRET>

   Specifies the value of the client secret of the service account with Cost OpenShift Viewer role that you copied previously.

8. Select the dynamic-plugins-rhdh configuration map.
9. Click the YAML tab.

10. Paste the following packages in the YAML file:

    - package: oci://quay.io/redhat-resource-optimization/dynamic-plugins:2.2.0!red-hat-developer-hub-plugin-cost-management
      disabled: false
      pluginConfig:

                  importName: CostManagementIconOutlined
              dynamicRoutes:
                - path: /cost-management/optimizations
                  importName: ResourceOptimizationPage
                  menuItem:
                    icon: costManagementIcon
                    text: Optimizations
                - path: /cost-management/openshift
                  importName: OpenShiftPage
                  menuItem:
                    icon: costManagementIcon
                    text: OpenShift
              menuItems:
                cost-management:
                  icon: costManagementIcon
                  title: Cost management
                  priority: 100
                cost-management.optimizations:
                  parent: cost-management
                  priority: 10
                cost-management.openshift:
                  parent: cost-management
                  priority: 20
    - package: oci://quay.io/redhat-resource-optimization/dynamic-plugins:2.2.0!red-hat-developer-hub-plugin-cost-management-backend
      disabled: false
      pluginConfig:
        costManagement:
          clientId: $<CM_CLIENT_ID>
          clientSecret: $<CM_CLIENT_SECRET>
          optimizationWorkflowId: 'patch-k8s-resource'

11. Replace <CM_CLIENT_ID> and <CM_CLIENT_SECRET> with the values of the service account that has the Cost OpenShift Viewer role, that you copied previously.

Procedure

1. In Red Hat Developer Hub, navigate to Cost Management > Optimizations. The Resource Optimization page lists your OpenShift containers.

2. Optional: Filter your container list or search for a specific container:

   • Enter a value in one or more of the boxes under Filters and press Enter. You can filter by clusters, projects, workloads, and types.
   • Enter a partial or full container name in the Search container name box.
3. To view optimization recommendations, click a container name link. The container page opens with details about the container you selected, current and recommended configurations, and CPU and memory use.
4. Select a time range from the Time menu. Resource optimization analyzes your resource use over this time range.

5. Review your current configuration and recommended configuration data on the Cost optimizations and Performance optimizations tabs.

   When you optimize for cost, you allocate enough resources for the workload to run but with less margin for sudden spikes. Use this when your application has a stable performance or load profile.

   When you optimize for performance, even small spikes recorded in the specified time frame are considered and resources are allocated to accommodatethem. Use performance recommendations when you want to avoid bottlenecks, even at the expense of running into more cost.
