How do I link an SKU cost to the resource that caused it?

[nickb123]

My bills are increasing significantly each month due to SKU 'Network Internet Data Transfer Out from Belgium to Apac(Excluding Korea and Indonesia)'  - SKU ID - 6AA7-5747-901F. 

Please could you tell me how I link this SKU charge to a namespace or process on a cluster to investigate further and resolve to reduce the cost? On our cluster we have multiple namespaces for different applications but I cannot link the SKU charge to a particular resource.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you
