| By default, Datadog automatically detects cost anomalies for each cloud provider. If you have the `cloud_cost_management_write` permission, you can customize how anomalies are detected per provider to better match your organization's cost structure. Custom anomaly detection is available for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Datadog, and Oracle Cloud. |

I don't see a Configure button. Do you need to have a specific permission to make it visible? If so, we should probably mention it 🙂 If it's just hidden behind a feature flag, ignore me.

It's this one - is it not visible to you? Only cloud_cost_management permission is needed and it's mentioned on line 41

Ah, sorry for missing that. Yeah, it's not showing up for me; but maybe the permission is why!

Address review feedback: reword detection sentence, wrap Anomalies tab in ui shortcode, and use Save shortcode in the revert instructions. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Per review feedback, point the breakdown tags reference to the Cloud Cost skill in Bits Chat (the FinOps agent) instead of Watchdog Explains, since the configured tags feed the agent's anomaly investigation context. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
