Can Ylastic host the cost agent for me?
Yes. We have a scheduled task to make this very easy.
- Create a Download Spending data task on the Tasks page.
- Add as many AWS accounts as you like, one per line in this format - AWS account number, username, pw
- Specify how often you want to get and process the data. AWS only updates the data a few times in a day. So you can setup the task to get your data either once or twice a day. Add a cron entry for 0 1 * * *. This will download and process the data at 1:00 AM ET every day. Modify it to match your needs.
Once the data is downloaded and processed, your spending charts will be populated.
