How do you track in realtime the costs of google cloud VM instances

I just signed up for google cloud and I would like to track my costs in real time or at least by the hour.

From the documentation costs are incurred in 10-minute bundles but I cannot view costs incurred in my Billings area.

Just spent way to much time with support to find this:

  • goto Reports tab in GCE
  • click Group by SKU
  • uncheck Credits > Discounts, One time credits
  • click Daily and change to Daily Cumulative
  • exhale

There is also a breakdown of charges so far in the each month under Transactions tab that is less useful.
