API used to collect Cost metrics

Foglight Hybrid Cloud Manager for AWS uses the AWS Cost and Usage Report to tracks your AWS usage and provides the estimated charges associated with your AWS account. AWS delivers the AWS Cost & Usage Report (in CSV format) for the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket you specified, and updates the reports at least once a day. AWS Agent retrieves the reports programmatically using the Amazon S3 APIs.

If you use the consolidated billing feature in AWS Organizations, this report is available only to the master account and includes activity for all the member accounts that are associated with the master account.

Refer to the AWS Cost and Usage Report for more details.
