Custom Reports
Create custom reports, and select a specific report to pull data from AWS Billing after you've established a connection.
The following image provides an overview of the various custom reports:
- Each report requires an incremental data extraction by choosing a Date Range and Time period, Here's an example:
-
Start Date is mandatory.
-
Data can be retrieved for the date range specified between the start and end dates.
-
If you leave the end date blank, the data will be pulled at the current time of the river's run.
-
Dates timezone : UTC time.
-
Use the Last Days Back For Each Run option to gather data from a specified number of days prior to the selected start date.
- Dimension Filters are available for usage on each report.
Each option applies a different dimension to the data pulled. The documentation for each dimension can be accessed on the AWS webpage.
- You can also select from the following options for all reports other than 'Cost Categories':
- Granularity - It establishes the time frame in which your response will be split.
Note:
It is only possible to obtain the last 14 days of 'Hourly' granularity. - Metrics - It sets the metrics that will be returned in the query.
