Logging and monitoring in Amazon Billing and Cost Management
Monitoring is an important part of maintaining the reliability, availability, and performance of your Amazon account. There are several tools available to monitor your Billing and Cost Management usage.
Amazon Cost and Usage Reports
Amazon Cost and Usage Reports tracks your Amazon usage and provides estimated charges associated with your account. Each report contains line items for each unique combination of Amazon products, usage type, and operation that you use in your Amazon account. You can customize the Amazon Cost and Usage Reports to aggregate the information either by the hour or by the day.
For more information about Amazon Cost and Usage Reports, see the Cost and Usage Report Guide.
Amazon CloudTrail
Billing and Cost Management is integrated with Amazon CloudTrail, a service that provides a record of actions taken by a user, role, or an Amazon service in Billing and Cost Management. CloudTrail captures all write and modify API calls for Billing and Cost Management as events, including calls from the Billing and Cost Management console and from code calls to the Billing and Cost Management APIs.
