Sets the start and end dates for retrieving AWS costs. The start date is inclusive, but the end date is exclusive. For example, if start is 2017-01-01 and end is 2017-05-01, then the cost and usage data is retrieved from 2017-01-01 up to and including 2017-04-30 but not including 2017-05-01.

" }, "Granularity":{ "shape":"Granularity", "documentation":"

Sets the AWS cost granularity to MONTHLY or DAILY.

" }, "Filter":{ "shape":"Expression", "documentation":"

Filters AWS costs by different dimensions. For example, you can specify Service and Linked Account and get the costs associated with that account's usage of that service. You can nest Expression objects to define any combination of dimension filters. For more information, see the Expression object or More Examples.

" }, "Metrics":{ "shape":"MetricNames", "documentation":"

Which metrics are returned in the query. For more information about blended and unblended rates, see https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/blended-rates-intro/.

Valid values are BlendedCost, UnblendedCost, and UsageQuantity.

If you return the UsageQuantity metric, the service aggregates all usage numbers without taking into account the units. For example, if you aggregate usageQuantity across all of EC2, the results aren't meaningful because EC2 compute hours and data transfer are measured in different units (for example, hours vs. GB). To get more meaningful UsageQuantity metrics, filter by UsageType or UsageTypeGroups.

" }, "GroupBy":{ "shape":"GroupDefinitions", "documentation":"

You can group AWS costs using up to two different groups, either dimensions, tag keys, or both.

When you group by tag key, you get all tag values, including empty strings.

Valid values are: AZ, INSTANCE_TYPE, LINKED_ACCCOUNT, OPERATION, PURCHASE_TYPE, SERVICE, USAGE_TYPE, TAGS, and PLATFORM.
