Activate Script

Tips

  1. Prepare a qualified AWS AK in advance (in the IAM console, create an inline policy for the user that allows Cost Explorer Service actions: tick GetCostAndUsageWithResources and GetDimensionValues).
  2. Before the first collector run, open AWS Console → Amazon Cost Explorer → Cost Management → Preferences and enable “Hourly and Resource Level Data”, then wait 24 h for data to become available.
  3. The collector must set account_name and account_id in extra_tags.
  4. To ensure accuracy, bill data is always collected for T-1.
