Amazon AWS Billing and Cost Management

the aws billing and cost management connector integrates with swimlane turbine aws cost explorer is a tool that enables you to view and analyze your costs and usage asset setup this integration authenticates with aws billing and cost management connector using the following input values aws access key id a long term aws access key id with access to security hub aws secret key id a long term secret access key associated with the above accesskey id region name the aws region role arn an arn of an aws iam role to assume capabilities this connector provides the following capabilities get cost and usage obtaining aws credentials to use this integration, you will need to have an aws account and obtain the necessary aws credentials you can obtain these credentials by following the steps below log in to your aws account and navigate to the iam console in the left navigation pane, click on the "users" tab and select the user for which you want to create credentials click on the "security credentials" tab, and then click on the "create access key" make sure to save the access key id and secret access key in a secure location, as you will not be able to see the secret access key again after this step tasks setup get cost and usage filter there are two patterns simple dimension values there are three types of simple dimension values costcategories, tags, and dimensions specify the costcategories field to define a filter that acts on cost categories specify the tags field to define a filter that acts on cost allocation tags specify the dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the dimensionvalues for each filter type, you can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use for example, you can filter for region==us east 1 or region==us west 1 for getrightsizingrecommendation, the region is a full name (for example, region==us east (n virginia) the corresponding expression for this example is as follows lists of dimension values are combined with or when applying the filter example { "dimensions" { "key" "linked account name", "matchoptions" \[ "starts with" ], "values" \[ "a" ] } } you can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves not all apis support match options refer to the documentation for each specific api to see what is supported for example, you can filter for linked account names that start with "a" the corresponding expression for this example is as follows example { "dimensions" { "key" "linked account name", "matchoptions" \[ "starts with" ], "values" \[ "a" ] } } compound expression types with logical operations you can use multiple expression types and the logical operators and/or/not to create a list of one or more expression objects by doing this, you can filter by more advanced options for example, you can filter by ((region == us east 1 or region == us west 1) or (tag type == type1)) and (usage type != datatransfer) the corresponding expression for this example is as follows example { "and" \[ { "or" \[ { "dimensions" { "key" "region", "values" \[ "us east 1", "us west 1" ] } }, { "tags" { "key" "tagname", "values" \[ "value1" ] } } ] }, { "not" { "dimensions" { "key" "usage type", "values" \[ "datatransfer" ] } } } ] } for more information about filter, click here!
