Available Budget Filters

Usage Type Group

Choose one of the groups provided, such as S3: Data Transfer - Internet (Out) (GB). A usage type group is a collection of usage types that have the same unit of measure. If you choose both the Usage Type Group and the Usage Type filters, Cost Explorer shows you usage types that are automatically constrained to the group unit of measure. For example, when you choose the group EC2: Running Hours (Hrs) and then choose the EC2-Instances filter for Usage Type, Cost Explorer shows you only the usage types that are measured in hours.

Usage Type

Choose a filter such as S3 and then choose a usage type value, such as DataTransfer-Out-Bytes (GB). You can create a usage budget only for a specific unit of measure. If you choose Usage Type but not Usage Type Group, Cost Explorer shows you all the available units of measure for the usage type.

Service

Choose an AWS service. You can also use the Service dimension to filter costs by specific AWS Marketplace software. This includes your costs for specific AMIs, web services, and desktop apps. For more information, see What Is AWS Marketplace?

Note

You can use this filter only for cost, RI utilization, or RI coverage budgets. Cost Explorer doesn't show revenue or usage for the AWS Marketplace software seller.

The RI utilization and RI coverage reports allow filtering by only one service at a time and only for the following services:

  • Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud - Compute

  • Amazon Redshift

  • Amazon Relational Database Service

  • Amazon ElastiCache

  • Amazon Elasticsearch Service

Legal Entity

Choose the provider that provides your AWS services. For AWS services, AWS is the legal entity. For third-party services that are sold through AWS Marketplace, AWS Marketplace is the legal entity.

Linked Account

Choose an AWS account that is linked to the account that you're creating the budget for.

Tag

If you have activated any tags, choose a resource tag. A tag is a label that you can use to organize your resource costs and track them on a detailed level. There are AWS generated tags and user-defined tags. You must activate tags to use them. For more information, see Activating the AWS-Generated Cost Allocation Tags and Activating User-Defined Cost Allocation Tags.
