Query your data with NRQL

preview

We're still working on this feature, but we'd love for you to try it out!

This feature is currently provided as part of a preview program pursuant to our pre-release policies.

Query Cloud Cost Intelligence data using NRQL to analyze and optimize cloud spending. Five event types are available with attributes for detailed queries:

Event Type

Description

Cloud Spend

Cost event, supports full NRQL language

KubernetesSpend

Kubernetes cost allocation, supports full NRQL language

CloudCost

CCI Summary Event

KubernetesCost

K8s Event

CloudCostEstimate

Real-Time Event

To write effective NRQL queries, see Introductory NRQL tutorial.

Query Cloud Cost Intelligence data

Navigate to All Capabilities > Cloud Cost Intelligence and open Query Console to enter your queries.

Example query:

FROM CloudCost SELECT * SINCE 24 hours ago

Field name

Type

Description

Line Item Usage Account Id

stringKey

The account ID corresponding to this line item.

Line Item Product Code

stringKey

Product code of the line item (ec2, s3)

Bill Billing Entity

stringKey

Bill invoiced to entity. (AWS Marketplace / AWS)

Resource tags User Owning Team

stringKey

Custom tag provided which can be added to any entity

Resource tags user Service Name

stringKey

Custom tag provided which can be added to any entity

Line item line item type

stringKey

What kind of charge is applied to the cost (discount, regular, one-time..etc)

Line item usage start date

stringKey

Start usage date of the current line item

Line item unblended cost

numericKey

Cost based on standard rates (on-demand) before any discount from reserved instances, savings plans or volume discounts.

Line_item_blended_cost

numericKey

After discount cost, from savings plan and reserved instance etc.

Line_item_net_unblended_cost

numericKey

Cloud Cost Intelligence Budgets query console showing CloudCost attributes

Example query:

FROM KubernetesCost SELECT * SINCE 1 week ago

For accurate Kubernetes costs, multiply cpu_weightage + memory_weightage in your queries:

SELECT SUM(net_unblended_cost * (cpu_weightage + memory_weightage) + network_net_unblended_cost) FROM KubernetesCost SINCE '2024-09-01' UNTIL '2024-09-10'

This multiplies net_unblended_cost by the sum of CPU and memory weightage for accurate cost allocations based on resource usage.
