Viewing Usage Analyses

  1. Access the Cost Analysis page.
  2. Select the preconfigured Pay-Per-Use ECS Monthly Costs and Usage report.
  3. In the report view, Cost Center by default displays the cost data with Service Type set to Elastic Cloud Server (ECS) and Usage Type set to Elastic Cloud Server ECS - Duration.

    You can only set a single usage type to analyze usage.

    • To view the ECS usage data from another perspective, switch the display dimension. For example, if you want to view ECS usage analysis data by resource name/ID, set Grouped By to Resource Name/ID.

      1. By default, the current month's cost data is displayed. You can view monthly costs by Resource Name/ID from up to the last three months.
      2. If you want to export and analyze historical cost data by resource name/ID from the last three months, choose Cost Insights > Cost Details Export. With this same search criteria, you can also export cost data of the last 38 months. For details, see Exporting Cost Details.
