Options

--name (string)

The unique name of the Cost Category.

--effective-start (string)

The Cost Category’s effective start date. It can only be a billing start date (first day of the month). If the date isn’t provided, it’s the first day of the current month. Dates can’t be before the previous twelve months, or in the future.

--rule-version (string)

The rule schema version in this particular Cost Category.

Possible values:

  • CostCategoryExpression.v1

--rules (list)

The Cost Category rules used to categorize costs. For more information, see CostCategoryRule .

(structure)

Rules are processed in order. If there are multiple rules that match the line item, then the first rule to match is used to determine that Cost Category value.

Value -> (string)

The default value for the cost category.

Rule -> (structure)

An Expression object used to categorize costs. This supports dimensions, tags, and nested expressions. Currently the only dimensions supported are LINKED_ACCOUNT , SERVICE_CODE , RECORD_TYPE , and LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME .

Root level OR isn’t supported. We recommend that you create a separate rule instead.

RECORD_TYPE is a dimension used for Cost Explorer APIs, and is also supported for Cost Category expressions. This dimension uses different terms, depending on whether you’re using the console or API/JSON editor. For a detailed comparison, see Term Comparisons in the Billing and Cost Management User Guide .

Or -> (list)

Return results that match either Dimension object.

(structure)

Use Expression to filter in various Cost Explorer APIs.

Not all Expression types are supported in each API. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

There are two patterns:

  • Simple dimension values.

    • There are three types of simple dimension values: CostCategories , Tags , and Dimensions .

    • For each filter type, you can set the dimension name and values for the filters that you plan to use.

      • For example, you can filter for REGION==us-east-1 OR REGION==us-west-1 . For GetRightsizingRecommendation , the Region is a full name (for example, REGION==US East (N. Virginia) .

      • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", “us-west-1” ] } }

      • As shown in the previous example, lists of dimension values are combined with OR when applying the filter.

    • You can also set different match options to further control how the filter behaves. Not all APIs support match options. Refer to the documentation for each specific API to see what is supported.

      • For example, you can filter for linked account names that start with “a”.

      • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "Dimensions": { "Key": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_NAME", "MatchOptions": [ "STARTS_WITH" ], "Values": [ "a" ] } }

  • Compound Expression types with logical operations.

    • You can use multiple Expression types and the logical operators AND/OR/NOT to create a list of one or more Expression objects. By doing this, you can filter by more advanced options.

    • For example, you can filter by ((REGION == us-east-1 OR REGION == us-west-1) OR (TAG.Type == Type1)) AND (USAGE_TYPE != DataTransfer) .

    • The corresponding Expression for this example is as follows: { "And": [ {"Or": [ {"Dimensions": { "Key": "REGION", "Values": [ "us-east-1", "us-west-1" ] }}, {"Tags": { "Key": "TagName", "Values": ["Value1"] } } ]}, {"Not": {"Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": ["DataTransfer"] }}} ] }

Note

Because each Expression can have only one operator, the service returns an error if more than one is specified. The following example shows an Expression object that creates an error: { "And": [ ... ], "Dimensions": { "Key": "USAGE_TYPE", "Values": [ "DataTransfer" ] } }

The following is an example of the corresponding error message: "Expression has more than one roots. Only one root operator is allowed for each expression: And, Or, Not, Dimensions, Tags, CostCategories"

Note

For the GetRightsizingRecommendation action, a combination of OR and NOT isn’t supported. OR isn’t supported between different dimensions, or dimensions and tags. NOT operators aren’t supported. Dimensions are also limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT , REGION , or RIGHTSIZING_TYPE .

For the GetReservationPurchaseRecommendation action, only NOT is supported. AND and OR aren’t supported. Dimensions are limited to LINKED_ACCOUNT .

Or -> (list)

Return results that match either Dimension object.

( … recursive … )

And -> (list)

Return results that match both Dimension objects.

ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_ABSOLUTE and ANOMALY_TOTAL_IMPACT_PERCENTAGE can only be used in AnomalySubscriptions .

Values -> (list)

The metadata values that you can use to filter and group your results. You can use GetDimensionValues to find specific values.

(string)

The split charge rules used to allocate your charges between your Cost Category values.

(structure)

Use the split charge rule to split the cost of one Cost Category value across several other target values.

Source -> (string)

The Cost Category value that you want to split. That value can’t be used as a source or a target in other split charge rules. To indicate uncategorized costs, you can use an empty string as the source.

Targets -> (list)

The Cost Category values that you want to split costs across. These values can’t be used as a source in other split charge rules.

(string)

Method -> (string)

The method that’s used to define how to split your source costs across your targets.

Proportional - Allocates charges across your targets based on the proportional weighted cost of each target.

Fixed - Allocates charges across your targets based on your defined allocation percentage.

>``Even`` - Allocates costs evenly across all targets.

Parameters -> (list)

The parameters for a split charge method. This is only required for the FIXED method.

(structure)

The parameters for a split charge method.

Type -> (string)

The parameter type.

--resource-tags (list)

An optional list of tags to associate with the specified ` CostCategory https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-cost-management/latest/APIReference/API_CostCategory.html`__ . You can use resource tags to control access to your cost category using IAM policies.

Each tag consists of a key and a value, and each key must be unique for the resource. The following restrictions apply to resource tags:

  • Although the maximum number of array members is 200, you can assign a maximum of 50 user-tags to one resource. The remaining are reserved for Amazon Web Services use

  • The maximum length of a key is 128 characters

  • The maximum length of a value is 256 characters

  • Keys and values can only contain alphanumeric characters, spaces, and any of the following: _.:/=+@-

  • Keys and values are case sensitive

  • Keys and values are trimmed for any leading or trailing whitespaces

The tag structure that contains a tag key and value.

Note

Tagging is supported only for the following Cost Explorer resource types: ` AnomalyMonitor https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-cost-management/latest/APIReference/API_AnomalyMonitor.html`__ , ` AnomalySubscription https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-cost-management/latest/APIReference/API_AnomalySubscription.html`__ , ` CostCategory https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-cost-management/latest/APIReference/API_CostCategory.html`__ .

Key -> (string)

The key that’s associated with the tag.

Value -> (string)

The value that’s associated with the tag.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json

  • text

  • table

  • yaml

  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on

  • off

  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64

  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Output

CostCategoryArn -> (string)

The unique identifier for your newly created Cost Category.

EffectiveStart -> (string)

The Cost Category’s effective start date. It can only be a billing start date (first day of the month).
