costexplorer_get_dimension_values R Documentation

Retrieves all available filter values for a specified filter over a period of time

Description

Retrieves all available filter values for a specified filter over a period of time. You can search the dimension values for an arbitrary string.

Usage

costexplorer_get_dimension_values(SearchString, TimePeriod, Dimension,
  Context, Filter, SortBy, MaxResults, NextPageToken)

Arguments

SearchString

The value that you want to search the filter values for.

TimePeriod

[required] The start date and end date for retrieving the dimension values. 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.

Dimension

[required] The name of the dimension. Each Dimension is available for a different Context. For more information, see Context. LINK_ACCOUNT_NAME and SERVICE_CODE can only be used in CostCategoryRule.

Context

The context for the call to get_dimension_values. This can be RESERVATIONS or COST_AND_USAGE. The default value is COST_AND_USAGE. If the context is set to RESERVATIONS, the resulting dimension values can be used in the get_reservation_utilization operation. If the context is set to COST_AND_USAGE, the resulting dimension values can be used in the get_cost_and_usage operation.

If you set the context to COST_AND_USAGE, you can use the following dimensions for searching:

Filter
SortBy

The value that you want to sort the data by.

The key represents cost and usage metrics. The following values are supported:
