Spend Analytics¶
Spend Analytics is the interactive breakdown for the date range in the top bar: totals, the trend, and lists by service, region, and scope.
How to use it¶
- Read total spend at the top. When AWS credits exist, the total is net of credits unless you have filtered to a service or region.
- Click a service, region, or scope to filter the trend and the other panels. Click the row again, or Clear, to reset that filter.
- Open a place (cloud / account) to see scopes that have spend, then a scope to list resources. Use the breadcrumb or jump search. One click drills in.
- Drag the spend trend to set a custom date range. A window of three days or less zooms the trend to hours (UTC). Use Day / Hour on the chart to switch. Presets in the top bar restore a standard window.
- Search by resource name and page through long lists.
AWS credits¶
- As billed keeps credits off the region list.
- Apply to regions spreads credits across AWS regions by usage share. That split is an estimate, not the invoice.
Next steps¶
- Open a resource in Inventory for tags and utilization.
- Use Anomalies when a day looks like a spend spike.
- Use Opportunities when you are ready to act on waste.
- Use Reports when finance wants a CSV instead of the interactive page.
