Attaching or removing S3 Storage Lens groups to or from your dashboard

After you've upgraded to the advanced tier in Amazon S3 Storage Lens, you can attach a Storage Lens group to your dashboard. If you have several Storage Lens groups, you can include or exclude the groups that you want.

Your Storage Lens groups must reside within the designated home Region in the dashboard account. After you attach a Storage Lens group to your dashboard, you'll receive the additional Storage Lens group aggregation data in your metrics export within 48 hours.

Note

If you want to view aggregated metrics for your Storage Lens group, you must attach it to your Storage Lens dashboard. For examples of Storage Lens group JSON configuration files, see S3 Storage Lens example configuration with Storage Lens groups in JSON.
