AWS Cost Explorer Service

2022/03/22 - AWS Cost Explorer Service - 3 new3 updated api methods

Changes  Added three new APIs to support tagging and resource-level authorization on Cost Explorer resources: TagResource, UntagResource, ListTagsForResource. Added optional parameters to CreateCostCategoryDefinition, CreateAnomalySubscription and CreateAnomalyMonitor APIs to support Tag On Create.

TagResource (new) Link ¶

An API operation for adding one or more tags (key-value pairs) to a resource.

You can use the TagResource operation with a resource that already has tags. If you specify a new tag key for the resource, this tag is appended to the list of tags associated with the resource. If you specify a tag key that is already associated with the resource, the new tag value you specify replaces the previous value for that tag.

Although the maximum number of array members is 200, user-tag maximum is 50. The remaining are reserved for Amazon Web Services use.

type AnomalyMonitor:

dict

param AnomalyMonitor:

[REQUIRED]

The cost anomaly detection monitor object that you want to create.

  • MonitorArn (string) --

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) value.

  • MonitorName (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The name of the monitor.

  • CreationDate (string) --

    The date when the monitor was created.

  • LastUpdatedDate (string) --

    The date when the monitor was last updated.

  • LastEvaluatedDate (string) --

    The date when the monitor last evaluated for anomalies.

  • MonitorType (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The possible type values.

  • MonitorDimension (string) --

    The dimensions to evaluate.

  • MonitorSpecification (dict) --

    Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

    • Simple dimension values - 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 Expression example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data. You can create Expression and DimensionValues objects using either with* methods or set* methods in multiple lines.

    • Compound dimension values 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 on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer). The Expression for that is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

    • Or (list) --

      Return results that match either Dimension object.

      The default value for the cost category.

    • Rule (dict) --

      An Expression object used to categorize costs. This supports dimensions, tags, and nested expressions. Currently the only dimensions supported are LINKED_ACCOUNT, SERVICE_CODE, RECORD_TYPE, and LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME.

      Root level OR isn't supported. We recommend that you create a separate rule instead.

      RECORD_TYPE is a dimension used for Cost Explorer APIs, and is also supported for Cost Category expressions. This dimension uses different terms, depending on whether you're using the console or API/JSON editor. For a detailed comparison, see Term Comparisons in the Billing and Cost Management User Guide.

      • Or (list) --

        Return results that match either Dimension object.

        • (dict) --

          Use Expression to filter by cost or by usage. There are two patterns:

          • Simple dimension values - 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 Expression example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } } The list of dimension values are OR'd together to retrieve cost or usage data. You can create Expression and DimensionValues objects using either with* methods or set* methods in multiple lines.

          • Compound dimension values 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 on more advanced options. For example, you can filter on ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer). The Expression for that is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

      • And (list) --

        Return results that match both Dimension objects.

      • Not (dict) --

        Return results that don't match a Dimension object.

      • Dimensions (dict) --

        The specific Dimension to use for Expression.

        • Key (string) --

          The names of the metadata types that you can use to filter and group your results. For example, AZ returns a list of Availability Zones.

        • Values (list) --

          The metadata values that you can use to filter and group your results. You can use GetDimensionValues to find specific values.

          • (string) --

        • MatchOptions (list) --

          The match options that you can use to filter your results. MatchOptions is only applicable for actions related to Cost Category. The default values for MatchOptions are EQUALS and CASE_SENSITIVE.

          • (string) --

      • Tags (dict) --

        The specific Tag to use for Expression.

        • Key (string) --

          The key for the tag.

        • Values (list) --

          The specific value of the tag.

          • (string) --

        • MatchOptions (list) --

          The match options that you can use to filter your results. MatchOptions is only applicable for actions related to Cost Category. The default values for MatchOptions are EQUALS and CASE_SENSITIVE.

          • (string) --

      • CostCategories (dict) --

        The filter that's based on CostCategory values.

        • Key (string) --

          The unique name of the Cost Category.

        • Values (list) --

          The specific value of the Cost Category.

          • (string) --

        • MatchOptions (list) --

          The match options that you can use to filter your results. MatchOptions is only applicable for actions related to cost category. The default values for MatchOptions is EQUALS and CASE_SENSITIVE.

          • (string) --

    • InheritedValue (dict) --

      The value the line item is categorized as if the line item contains the matched dimension.

      • DimensionName (string) --

        The name of the dimension that's used to group costs.

        If you specify LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME, the cost category value is based on account name. If you specify TAG, the cost category value will be based on the value of the specified tag key.

      • DimensionKey (string) --

        The key to extract cost category values.

    • Type (string) --

      You can define the CostCategoryRule rule type as either REGULAR or INHERITED_VALUE. The INHERITED_VALUE rule type adds the flexibility of defining a rule that dynamically inherits the cost category value from the dimension value defined by CostCategoryInheritedValueDimension. For example, if you want to dynamically group costs based on the value of a specific tag key, first choose an inherited value rule type, then choose the tag dimension and specify the tag key to use.
