Enable cost-explorer #1

Closed aterrel closed 4 years ago

aterrel commented 4 years ago

As reported by @bryevdv, bokeh received this message.

Your account is a part of consolidated billing. For you to be able to use Cost Explorer, your Payer account needs to enable Cost Explorer.

Investigate and report how to proceed here.

So technically speaking I seem to be able to access Cost Explorer, but there is no actual data available. It has said:

It can take up to 4 days for AWS Cost Explorer data to become available. Please try again soon.

For nearly two weeks.

aterrel commented 4 years ago

Okay I hit the button on the Cost Explorer to enable. As discussed in this documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/ce-enable.html

I'm now seeing this message on the Billing page.

@aterrel OK I can see data in the cost explorer now! However, none of our tags area visible, so we can't e.g. break down CDN costs by distribution at all, which makes the reports much less useful. I think you need to do this:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/activating-tags.html

When I try it says "Access Denied Cost allocation tags are managed at the payer account level."

aterrel commented 4 years ago

Hmm. I guess I have to add the tags individually, doesn't have a single toggle. Can you give me a list?

bryevdv commented 4 years ago

Really?! Ugh that's annoying as hell. I will have to collect the list and post back here

aterrel commented 4 years ago

Well can you start by giving me a few and we can make sure they are viewable on your side?

bryevdv commented 4 years ago

Cloudfront-Name is the most important one for sure

aterrel commented 4 years ago

I think I'll close this as I think it is either fixed or won't fix.

I was never able to try the admin account the invite expired.
