How to setup spending alerts

Setup alerts to notify you when total spending or spending for a given AWS service goes over your limit.

To setup spending alerts, go to the Billing & Usage section; on the Monthly Data tab, click Spending Alerts.

In the scheduler windows, select the AWS account and service you want to monitor. Leave Total selected under service to setup alerts for total spending.

Under Spending Limit enter the amount that is the threshold for an alert. When your spending goes over that limit, the alert is sent to the user’s email.

Optionally, you can enter more emails for alert notification; use a comma separator for multiple emails.

When your spending exceeds the specified limit, an alert is sent once per billing period.

To receive alerts every day, check Repeat Alert Daily.

To save your alert configuration, click Save.
