I want to perform detail analysis on billing. For that I want to find usage report per resource. For example, In amazon Kinesis I want to find usage report of each stream for each day. From AWS usage report I am able to get only for the whole Kinesis service. Is it possible to get usage report of individual Stream?

You can increase the granularity of your billing reports by using Cost Allocation Tags. The Cost Explorer allows you to filter by tags and - with a good tagging strategy - helps you better understand the cost of individual resources.

  • I was not aware of tags. I added a new tag to my existing resource. But I am unable to view it on cost explorer. Is it possible to view tag on newly created tag for older resource? – Mohamed Thasin ah Jul 29 '20 at 11:25
  • Cost Explorer updates your data at least every 24 hours. Alternatively, you can configure your AWS Cost and Usage Report to be generated on an hourly schedule. – Dennis Traub Jul 29 '20 at 11:31
  • Make sure that you enabled "Cost allocation tags" in the billing service (AWS Cost Management) - once you enabled the relevant tags, you'll be able to see them in Cost Explorer and the CUR (Cost and allocation report) – Dvir669 Aug 03 '20 at 23:07
