Agent Check: AWS Pricing

Overview

This check pulls pricing information published by AWS to make it easier to measure cost of resource utilization within Datadog.

Setup

The AWS Pricing check is not included in the Datadog Agent package, so you need to install it.

1. Run the following command to install the Agent integration:

   datadog-agent integration install -t datadog-aws_pricing==<INTEGRATION_VERSION>

2. Configure your integration similar to core integrations.

Configuration

1. Edit the aws_pricing.d/conf.yaml file, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent's configuration directory to start collecting AWS pricing data. See the sample aws_pricing.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.

2. Restart the Agent.
