The type of the monitor.

Set this to DIMENSIONAL for an Amazon Web Services managed monitor. Amazon Web Services managed monitors automatically track up to the top 5,000 values by cost within a dimension of your choosing. Each dimension value is evaluated independently. If you start incurring cost in a new value of your chosen dimension, it will automatically be analyzed by an Amazon Web Services managed monitor.

Set this to CUSTOM for a customer managed monitor. Customer managed monitors let you select specific dimension values that get monitored in aggregate.

For more information about monitor types, see Monitor types in the Billing and Cost Management User Guide.
