AnomalyMonitor

This object continuously inspects your account's cost data for anomalies. It's based on MonitorType and MonitorSpecification. The content consists of detailed metadata and the current status of the monitor object.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 1024.

MonitorType

Set this to DIMENSIONAL for an Amazon managed monitor. Amazon managed monitors automatically track up to the top 5,000 values by cost within a dimension of your choosing. Each dimension value is evaluated independently. If you start incurring cost in a new value of your chosen dimension, it will automatically be analyzed by an Amazon managed monitor.

Set this to CUSTOM for a customer managed monitor. Customer managed monitors let you select specific dimension values that get monitored in aggregate.

For more information about monitor types, see Monitor types in the Billing and Cost Management User Guide.
