I've been running some background processes using the Worker role in Azure to test out Azure to see if it something I can consider for one of my projects. When I click on the Analytics tab, I get a message saying "Coming soon.". Is there any way for me to determine some metrics?

I'm mostly interested in trying to calculate a potential monthly cost for my programs.

Sorry, the new analytics system isn't available yet. If you're trying to estimate costs, note that CPU usage is easy to count (number of role instances * number of hours they've been running * $0.12), and storage usage is even easier (GB * months * $0.15).

Bandwidth will be a hard one to estimate without analytics, sorry they're not available yet.

when you say "number of hours running", if I have a thread that runs every hour (lets say that it runs for 1 second each time), would my CPU usage for 1 day be 24 * .12 or do I count the time the thread is sleeping?

You count the time the thread is sleeping. (It's wall-clock-time, not CPU usage.)
