FAQ

Q: Does the Kibana dashboard display historical data?

The dashboard will visualize data from all detailed billing reports that are uploaded to the solution's Amazon S3 bucket. If you enable detailed billing reports for the first time when you deploy the solution, the dashboard will only display metrics using data from that point forward. To check high-level historical data for your account, use Cost Explorer in the Billing and Cost Management console.

Q: Can I use the Cost Optimization Monitor to analyze billing data in multiple AWS accounts?

Customers who use Consolidated Billing to manage payments for multiple accounts can use this solution to aggregate and analyze billing data from all linked accounts. Note that you must deploy the solution in the payer account.
