AWS Billing
Collect billing metrics with Elastic Agent
Version | 2.24.0 (View all) |
Compatible Kibana version(s) | 8.14.0 or higher |
Supported Serverless project types | Security Observability |
Subscription level | Basic |
The AWS Billing integration allows you to monitor your AWS spending.
Use the AWS Billing integration to collect metrics related to your monthly AWS bills. Then visualize that data in Kibana, create alerts to notify you if something goes wrong, and reference metrics when troubleshooting an issue.
For example, you could use this data to easily view your total estimated charges or billing by service. Then you can alert the relevant budget holder about those costs by email.
IMPORTANT: Extra AWS charges on AWS API requests will be generated by this integration. Please refer to the AWS integration for more details.
Limitations
When you want to group by a combination of several tags and dimensions, like SERVICE
along with various tags (e.g., team
, project
, aws:createdBy
), you might see duplicated data. This happens because of a limitation with the GetCostAndUsage
API, which only allows grouping costs by two different groups.
To avoid data duplication, it's recommended to aggregate data using a combination of two attributes, which can be either: one tag and one dimension, two tags or two dimensions.
Data streams
The AWS Billing integration collects one type of data: metrics.
Metrics give you insight into the state of your AWS spending, including the estimated costs for various AWS services. Metrics are gathered with the AWS Cost Explorer API).
See more details in the Metrics reference.
Requirements
You need Elasticsearch for storing and searching your data and Kibana for visualizing and managing it. You can use our hosted Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud, which is recommended, or self-manage the Elastic Stack on your own hardware.
Before using any AWS integration you will need:
- AWS Credentials to connect with your AWS account.
- AWS Permissions to make sure the user you're using to connect has permission to share the relevant data.
For more details about these requirements, please take a look at the AWS integration documentation.
Setup
Use this integration if you only need to collect billing data from AWS.
If you want to collect data from two or more AWS services, consider using the AWS integration. When you configure the AWS integration, you can collect data from as many AWS services as you'd like.
For step-by-step instructions on how to set up an integration, see the Getting started guide.
Metrics reference
The billing
data stream collects billing metrics from AWS.
