CSV
Any CSV file is a metered source in Exivity: drop a usage, inventory or cost file on a share, in a bucket or behind a URL, and the file extractor picks it up on a schedule, keeps the rows as time-stamped usage, and rates and allocates them like any named platform.

Import custom cost and usage data from CSV files
Not every source of technology or business data provides a dedicated integration or API. CSV files provide a simple and widely supported way to exchange structured information between systems.
Exivity can use CSV data as an input for metering, cost management, allocation, reporting, and billing workflows, making it possible to incorporate information from systems that would otherwise remain outside the technology cost model.
Bring offline and custom datasets into your cost model
CSV imports can be useful for both recurring data feeds and datasets that are not available through a direct integration.
Depending on the source, CSV files can contain:
Usage and consumption records
Cost data
Custom prices and rates
Customer information
Product or service information
Organizational structures
Allocation data
Business and operational metrics
Once imported, CSV data can be combined with information from cloud providers, private infrastructure, SaaS platforms, databases, APIs, and other sources.
For example, an organization could combine infrastructure consumption with a CSV containing customer or product information to provide the business context required for cost allocation or unit economics.
CSV support also provides a practical path for organizations whose data maturity is still developing. A business does not necessarily need a sophisticated API or observability architecture before it can begin connecting operational information with technology costs.
