Metering

meshStack imports metering data from AWS Cost and Usage Reports

An AWS Cost and Usage Report should be created as specified in the documentation with the following properties

• Daily time granularity
• gzip compression
• txt/csv file format
• Should include resource ids
• Versioning should be setup to overwrite existing report

The following parameters are required to configure meshStack to process the AWS Cost and Usage Reports

• AWS credentials that can access the S3 bucket where the reports are written
• The name of the S3 bucket where the report is written
• The region of the S3 bucket
• The name of the report
• The "Report path prefix" configured when creating the report

When processing the AWS Cost and Usage Report to generate the Usage Report in the meshPanel,

• Only the line items with line item type DiscountedUsage, Fee, Usage and SavingsPlanCoveredUsage are taken into the calculation.
• Only the line items with bill type Anniversary are taken into the calculation
• For each line item, we take the effective cost when available and unblended cost otherwise
