[REQUIRED]
The start date and end date for retrieving the dimension values. The start date is inclusive, but the end date is exclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 and end is 2017-05-01 , then the cost and usage data is retrieved from 2017-01-01 up to and including 2017-04-30 but not including 2017-05-01 .
The beginning of the time period. The start date is inclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 , Amazon Web Services retrieves cost and usage data starting at 2017-01-01 up to the end date. The start date must be equal to or no later than the current date to avoid a validation error.
The end of the time period. The end date is exclusive. For example, if end is 2017-05-01 , Amazon Web Services retrieves cost and usage data from the start date up to, but not including, 2017-05-01 .
[REQUIRED]
The name of the dimension. Each Dimension is available for a different Context . For more information, see Context . LINK_ACCOUNT_NAME and SERVICE_CODE can only be used in CostCategoryRule.
The context for the call to GetDimensionValues . This can be RESERVATIONS or COST_AND_USAGE . The default value is COST_AND_USAGE . If the context is set to RESERVATIONS , the resulting dimension values can be used in the GetReservationUtilization operation. If the context is set to COST_AND_USAGE , the resulting dimension values can be used in the GetCostAndUsage operation.
If you set the context to COST_AND_USAGE , you can use the following dimensions for searching:
us-east-1a .SingleAZ and MultiAZ .m4.xlarge .Compute Optimized (for example, C4 , C5 , C6g , and C7g ), Memory Optimization (for example, R4 , R5n , R5b , and R6g ).RunInstance and CreateBucket .GetDimensionValues operation includes a unit attribute. Examples include GB and Hrs.If you set the context to RESERVATIONS , you can use the following dimensions for searching:
us-east-1a .SingleAZ and MultiAZ .m4.xlarge .If you set the context to SAVINGS_PLANS , you can use the following dimensions for searching:
m5 )Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.
Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.
There are two patterns:
CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }OR when applying the filter.Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }Expression types with logical operations.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 by more advanced options.((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .Expression for this example 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"] }}} ] }Note
Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }
The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"
Note
For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .
For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .
Return results that match either Dimension object.
