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.

Contents

MonitorName

The name of the monitor.

Type: String

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

Pattern: [\S\s]*

Required: Yes

MonitorType

The possible type values.

Type: String

Valid Values: DIMENSIONAL | CUSTOM

Required: Yes

CreationDate

The date when the monitor was created.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 40.

Pattern: (\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})(T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}Z)?

Required: No

DimensionalValueCount

The value for evaluated dimensions.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 0.

Required: No

LastEvaluatedDate

The date when the monitor last evaluated for anomalies.

Pattern: (\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})(T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}Z)?

Required: No

LastUpdatedDate

The date when the monitor was last updated.

MonitorDimension

The dimensions to evaluate.

Type: String

Valid Values: SERVICE

Required: No

MonitorSpecification

Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

There are two patterns:

  • Simple dimension values.

    • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories, Tags, and Dimensions.

      • Specify the CostCategories field to define a filter that acts on Cost Categories.

      • Specify the Tags field to define a filter that acts on Cost Allocation Tags.

      • Specify the Dimensions field to define a filter that acts on the DimensionValues.

    • For each filter type, you can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use.

      • For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1. For GetRightsizingRecommendation, the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia).

      • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] } }

      • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.

    • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

      • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with "a".

      • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }

  • Compound Expression types with logical operations.

    • You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.

    • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer).

    • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

    Note

    Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

    The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

Note

For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn't supported. OR isn't supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren't supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT, REGION, or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE.

For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren't supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT.

Type: Expression object

Required: No
