[AWS](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#aws) # How to Enable AWS Cost Collection ## How to connect AWS to Hyperglance to analyze & reduce your cloud costs Hyperglance can help you [analyze your cost and usage](https://www.hyperglance.com/features/cloud-automation/) and [reduce your cloud costs](https://www.hyperglance.com/features/cost-optimization/). This can be enabled by creating a cost usage report in [AWS](https://www.hyperglance.com/platforms/aws/) and adding the account that owns the report in [Hyperglance](https://www.hyperglance.com/). ### Setup Instructions: 1\) Log in to your AWS account and go to [Billing and Cost Management -\> Data Exports](https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/costmanagement/home#/bcm-data-exports). Click on '**Create**' to get started. **![](https://support.hyperglance.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-30-2023-04-55-49-0404-PM.png?width=683&height=131&name=image-png-Nov-30-2023-04-55-49-0404-PM.png)** 2\) As of ReInvent 2023 AWS announced a CUR2.0 format. Hyperglance does not yet support this format so (for now) you need to select Legacy CUR Export: ![](https://support.hyperglance.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-30-2023-04-57-34-6269-PM.png?width=674&height=161&name=image-png-Nov-30-2023-04-57-34-6269-PM.png) 3\) Give the report a memorable name 4\) Ensure you check Include Resource IDs: ![](https://support.hyperglance.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-30-2023-04-58-43-2899-PM.png?width=597&height=98&name=image-png-Nov-30-2023-04-58-43-2899-PM.png) 5\) Under Data table delivery options: - Select Daily export - Select zip or gzip as the compression type ![](https://support.hyperglance.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-30-2023-05-11-33-3990-PM.png?width=656&height=467&name=image-png-Nov-30-2023-05-11-33-3990-PM.png) 6) Configure an S3 bucket where the generated cost usage report will be stored: ![](https://support.hyperglance.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-30-2023-05-13-04-0738-PM.png?width=685&height=190&name=image-png-Nov-30-2023-05-13-04-0738-PM.png) We recommend creating a new bucket for your cost data so that Hyperglance does not have access to (nor need to contend with) any other files:![](https://support.hyperglance.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-30-2023-05-13-54-6558-PM.png?width=405&height=479&name=image-png-Nov-30-2023-05-13-54-6558-PM.png) You will also need to provide a path prefix, this is a folder name or path within the bucket where the cost export files will be delivered. Any path prefix will work with Hyperglance: ![](https://support.hyperglance.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-30-2023-05-18-49-6368-PM.png?width=670&height=113&name=image-png-Nov-30-2023-05-18-49-6368-PM.png) Finally click '**Create**' and your new report will be in the list: ![](https://support.hyperglance.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-30-2023-05-19-43-3663-PM.png?width=675&height=52&name=image-png-Nov-30-2023-05-19-43-3663-PM.png) That's it! AWS will generate your report in the **next 24 hours**. All that's left to do is [add the AWS account where you have configured your report to Hyperglance](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/adding-new-aws-accounts-to-hyperglance?hsLang=en) and it will start pulling cost data from your nominated S3 bucket once a report is available.  - [Before You Start](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/before-you-start?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Kubernetes](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/before-you-start?hsLang=en#kubernetes) - [GCP](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/before-you-start?hsLang=en#gcp) - [AWS](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/before-you-start?hsLang=en#aws) - [Azure](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/before-you-start?hsLang=en#azure) - [Using Hyperglance](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Automations](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#automations) - [Inventory & Diagrams](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#inventory-diagrams) - [Rules](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#rules) - [Cost Management](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#cost-management) - [Dashboards](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#dashboards) - [Security & Compliance](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#security-compliance) - [Setup & Configuration](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Updating & Migrating](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#updating-migrating) - [General](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#general) - [RBAC & Users](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#rbac-users) - [STIGS & FIPS](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#stigs-fips) - [AWS](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#aws) - [Azure](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#azure) - [Kubernetes](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#kubernetes) - [GCP](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#gcp) - [API](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#api) - [Legacy Docker-based deployments](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#legacy-docker-based-deployments) - [AI](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#ai) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.hyperglance.com/hs-fs/hubfs/hyperglance.png?width=134&height=24&name=hyperglance.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.hyperglance.com/) 2880 Zanker Road, Suite 203, San Jose, CA 95134 Copyright © 2025 Hyperglance.
