How to get detailed AWS Usage information
Question
How do I get detailed AWS Usage data from the Idea 11 AWS Usage Portal?
Answer
The Idea 11 AWS Usage Portal provides a number of useful reports, graphs and trends to allow you to analyse your AWS bill. Many of these reports are by service, region, or account. If you require full, in-depth information of all AWS costs within a time period (e.g. one month), the Detailed Cost Descriptions by Service report provides the most in depth breakdown.
To access this report, follow these steps and see the screenshot below:
- Log into the Idea 11 AWS Portal and select your account. Select Cost in the menu on the left.
- Select AWS Billing
- Expand Custom Reporting
- Select Common Searches
- Scroll to Option 5. Enter your start date (6), end date (7), and click Search (8).
