Creating custom dashboards - AWS Cost Management

Creating custom dashboards

Dashboards help you visualize and monitor your AWS costs and usage data by combining multiple widgets into a single view. You can create custom dashboards to track specific metrics, compare costs across services or Regions, and share standardized views within or outside your organization.

To create a dashboard

  1. Open the Billing and Cost Management console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/costmanagement/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Dashboards.

  3. Choose Create dashboard.

    A dashboard is created with a default name. You can change the name or add an optional description.

    • The name must be unique within your account and can contain up to 50 characters.

    • The optional description can contain up to 200 characters.

Note

Autosave is enabled by default, so all changes are saved automatically.

After you create a dashboard, it's assigned a unique Amazon Resource Name (ARN) and is initially empty. The dashboard is only available in your account. You can add widgets to display your cost and usage data. For more information, see Adding widgets to dashboards.

After configuring your dashboard, you can share it with other accounts within or outside your organization. For more information, see Sharing dashboards.
