## Overview
Get proactive notifications on cost changes to help mitigate unexpected cloud spend. Cloud Cost Monitors help you identify cost changes quickly so you can investigate the cause.
Cloud Cost Monitors help you proactively identify cost changes, and understand if you're projected to go over budget, so you can investigate the cause.

In order to configure Cloud Cost monitors, you need to have [Cloud Cost Management][1] set up. After it's set up, you can configure monitors to alert when costs increase or decrease.
In order to configure Cloud Cost monitors, you need to have [Cloud Cost Management][1] set up.

Cloud Cost monitors are evaluated with a 48 hour delayed evaluation window, because Cloud Cost data is not guaranteed to be available until 48 hours after usage. For example, a monitor with a lookback of 7 days being evaluated on January 15 examines cost data from January 6 through January 13.

## Monitor creation

To create a Cloud Cost monitor in Datadog, you can set up via [Terraform][5], from the main navigation, [**Monitors** --> **New Monitor** --> **Cloud Cost**][4], or from the [Cloud Cost Explorer][2].

Optionally, click the **+ Create Monitor** button in the cost report side panel.
Optionally, click the **+ Create Monitor** button in the cost Explorer side panel.
