I use Amazon S3 to host static resources for a mobile app. Amazon bills the usage based on both the number of requests made to the resources and the volume of data retrieved. I'm looking for a way to view the current usage.
I'm new to AWS, and overwhelmed with the complexity of the AWS Management Console. There's "AWS Cost Explorer", "AWS Cloud Watch", "Usage Reports", etc. Many things can be installed, configured, downloaded and automated. I don't know where to start looking for a solution.
Is there a simple, graphical chart that just shows me the numbers for the past days?
For graphs and reporting that you are trying to view, I would use cost explorer in My Billing Dashboard for this as it gives you an option to bring up items from a service perspective. Click services once the graph comes up and it should give you an in-depth look at what S3 is spending daily. Also, another reporting tool you can look at is the Month-to-date-spend services and click bill details. It should give you a break down of what the costs are for S3.
For your comment you left on your post, AWS S3 is one of the best for static content that won't be changed over time as it offers versioning and other great resources for your content. You can even use CloudFront to help distribute those resources as well for a better user experience
Hope this helps!
You could use the metrics option available in S3 to get the number of s3 reads made per second.
Steps to view the S3 Bucket
Search for S3 bucket in the S3 Bucket Search Box.
Once the S3 bucket comes up in the results box, click on the S3 bucket
S3 bucket opens up, click on Management tab
Once Management tab opens up, click on Metrics button and click on Requests option
Its paid option, once its enabled, you could enable number of get request for the per day/week/month.
A detailed document on how to enable could be AWS document page --> https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/user-guide/configure-metrics.html
Once you have the number of requests per month, you could use the aws simple calculator to get the cost -->https://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html

I have an Amazon S3 bucket hosting some images for a static website. To keep things simple, I made folders in the bucket publicly readable with "make public using ACL" in the web console (so I can just link to the images from elsewhere).
I want to set up a budget limit on this bucket so I don't wake up to a huge S3 charge if it gets Reddit-hugged etc. Can I make a Budget Action that disables public read access for an S3 bucket (folder)?
None of the built-in budget actions in the web console seem relevant. The bewildering AWS docs mention something about SCPs but I don't see those could apply here. Someone else asked a similar question here but got no answers.
So far I've
Made my bucket and the files in it publicly readable (that's the point)
Attached a user-defined tag (eg "budget_limit_foo") to the bucket
Activated this tag as a cost allocation tag
Created a budget in the Billing Console set to Fixed Budget, Blended Costs, and using tag "budget_limit_foo" as a filter dimension.
Created a budget alert with threshold at 90% (that's the one that'll trip the action)
Gotten to "attach actions" in the "Create Budgets" template and hit a wall.
And to clarify, I only want to disable public read — or file transfer out — on this one bucket when it hits its limit. I'd prefer it didn't delete the files!
My question is simple, but I haven't found much by googling myself.
Is there a way to get metrics such as S3 total disk size in a Bucket?
Is there a way to get metrics on amount of emails sent per month using SES?
I am writing an admin tool where I want to track cloud usage basic metrics.
All this of course with the .Net Core AWS SDK.
Thanks,
I have 50+ S3 buckets in my company AWS account. About 40% of my total monthly bill is for outgoing data transfer. Is there a way to get information on how much data is going out from which S3 bucket? (note: I am not looking for how much data the buckets have in storage).
Follow these steps:
Add a common tag to each bucket.
Activate the tag as a cost allocation tag.
Use the AWS Cost Explorer to create a cost report for the tag.
Wait a couple of days for AWS to catch up
Source: How do I find the cost of my Amazon S3 buckets?
If you don't want to go over all the buckets and tag them with their name, you get it out of the box from amazon as the "Resource ID" (which is the bucket name). If you enabled resources in the Cost explorer or you're using the CUR file, just filter the product to "AmazonS3", aggregate by resource ID, and check the sum of your unBlendedCosts.
Good luck!
Amazon offers 750 hours of EC2 linux and windows instances per month in "free tier".
Is there any way to see my "free tier" summary?
For example: "you used 153 out of 750 hours" ?
Yes, login to the aws.amazon.com console.
In the top right click on your name -> Billing & Cost Management -> Bill Details and you should see a very detailed list of what you have used so far in the current month.
Not exactly, but you could create an alert when you exceed the free tier like I created an alert when the total AWS charges exceeds the minimum amount say 0.01$, that should be good.
Please follow the instruction on this link to create an alert.
Some work arounds.
Way #1
you need enable programmatic access to aws billing data and save the billing data to nominated S3 bucket. Billing file format is csv. The document is here:
http://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-programmatic-access-to-aws-billing-data/
then run s3 sdk or awscli command to download these billing csv file to your local disk. You can program another code to read these csv files to get the information and generate report for your own request.
Way #2
using gem amazon-pricing to get the billing
I can't figure out how to make a simple call to display how much I owe Amazon for the month. Just want to display it for this internal dashboard I'm building. Any ideas? I'm not using cloudwatch
You should follow these directions:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/about/programaccess.html
To tell AWS you would like your monthly bills dropped into an S3 bucket that you supply. Once its turned on, you can use the S3 API to read/download the bill and display it on your dashboard.
There is no 'real-time' billing API that I am aware of (kind of surprising given the technical sophistication of AWS).
