This article describes the main steps required to create the AWS Cost Monitoring data source and stream query:

• Providing read access for Anodot using a cross-account AWS role (see here for more information)
• Creating an AWS Cost Monitoring Data Source
• Creating an AWS Cost Monitoring Stream Query

Creating an AWS Cost Monitoring Data Source

1. In the Navigation Panel, go to Integrations > Catalog.

2. Use the Search box OR click the Business Packages filter to locate the data source.

3. Hover over the AWS Cost Monitoring tile, and click Start.
   *Note: If the data source has already been used, a dialog is displayed in which you can select from one of the listed sources. Alternatively, create a new source by clicking Add a new source.

4. In the displayed dialog, select the bucket's region, enter the bucket name, and enter a folder name (optional).

   

5. Setup the AWS cross account role (as described here) to enable anodot.com to access your CUR bucket.

6. Click CONTINUE to display the Stream Query.

Creating an AWS Cost Monitoring Stream Query

1. In the Sources page (accessed by clicking Integrations > Sources in the Navigation Panel), choose the AWS Cost Monitoring source for which you want to create a stream query.
   Note: The streams associated with that source are displayed. If the Streams panel is empty, no stream queries exist for that source.

2. Hover over the relevant data source, and click + New Stream. The Stream Query page is displayed.

   

3. In the Stream Properties section, set a name and owner for the stream.

4. In the CUR Reports Path field in the Reports to collect section, enter the path leading to the required CUR report folder and click Go.

5. In the First CUR Report field, select the first billing period you want to collect.

6. In the Measures & Dimensions section, choose the relevant template from the dropdown list of templates; measures and dimensions will be added based on the selected template.

7. In the AWS Resource Tags section, choose the relevant resource tags to use from the list of tags included in your CUR file.

8. Click NEXT. The Stream Table is displayed, as described in Stream Tables .
