Select cost allocation tags
The Amazon Web Service (AWS) Data Collector supports the Cost and Usage Reports (CUR) only.
Once the S3 bucket for Billing Report is created, configure the report name and the report prefix.
CUR uses the following Amazon S3 organization and naming conventions.
Report-prefix: The prefix you assign to the report.
Report-name: The name you assign to the report.
yyyymmdd-yyyymmdd: The range of dates that the report covers. Reports are finalized at the end of the date range.
assemblyId: An ID that AWS creates each time when the report is updated.
file-number: If the update includes a large file, AWS might split it into multiple files. The file-number tracks the different files in an update.
CSV: The file format of the report.
ZIP / GZ: The type of compression applied to the report files.
Select Cost Allocation Tags that have been assigned to your AWS resources so that they appear in the billing report and also so that they will be collected by the Data Collector. Tags are user-defined and enable groupings and totals for billing and reporting.
User-defined tags are used for collection of EC2 and S3 resources. These tags are required for cost allocation reporting of the total cost of EC2 instances and S3 buckets.
Note:
Amazon Web Services generates a report once or more daily, with additions made daily over the month. Therefore, it may take up to 24 hours until a billing records file appears in the S3 bucket that is being collected by the IT Analytics Data Collector.
