CloudSpend Tag ProfileA Tag Profile provide customized labels that group user-defined parameters such as resourceLocation, service, resource, resourceGroup, meter category, and meter subcategory. It allows you to manage your cloud costs efficiently. There are both user-defined tags and system-generated (AWS, Azure, or GCP) tags. Each tag has a unique value and you can combine multiple tags using AND/OR conditions while creating a tag profile. The CloudSpend AWS cost supports Parquet and GZIP file formats of legacy AWS Cost and Usage Reports. For cost accounts parsed from the Parquet format report, the user-defined tags with camel case, colon, and hyphen will be replaced with an underscore and follow lower casing. See the below table for examples:
The system-generated tags will not have any changes. Benefits of a Tag ProfileSome of the key benefits of a Tag Profile include:
System tagsClick on each tab below to view the system-generated tags. System-generated tags for AzureCloudSpend provides the following system-generated tags for Azure:
The value for the resourceGroup tag is the resource group name and it will always be in lowercase. For example, say you have a resource group called Production_Environment in Azure. Here, the tag value for the resourceGroup will be production_environment.

Use casesThe following examples explain different scenarios where tags are used with the AND/OR conditions while creating a Tag Profile. Example 1 You want to filter cost data using the resourceLocation tag key for an account of your choice. For instance, let's use the resourceLocation:East US tag and resourceLocation:West US tag. Here, we use the OR condition and enter the tags. Thus, we can get data for the resources present in the East US OR West US region. Example 2 Say you want to filter compute service data with two tags using the DataTransferOut tag key for an account of your preference. In this scenario, let's use the meterName:Standard Data Transfer Out tag and consumedService:microsoft.compute tag. Here, the AND condition is used, so that the filter is applied based on both the meterName and consumedService tags. Example 3 You now want to add multiple tags for an account of your preference using both the AND/OR conditions. For instance, let's use the resourceLocation:East US tag, resourceLocation:EU West tag and the meterCategory:Virtual Machines tag with parenthesis to group and retrieve the data according to the logical operations order. In this case, we enter these tags as: (resourceLocation:East US OR resourceLocation:EU West) AND meterCategory:Virtual Machines. In this example, the application will display the data for either resourceLocation:East US or resourceLocation:EU West and data for meterCategory:Virtual Machines for the applicable account. Invalid expressions scenariosWhile creating a Tag Profile, invalid expressions can occur if the data entry is incomplete, if operations are missing, or if inputs are invalid. The below examples of invalid expressions can occur in a logical expression while using Tag Profiles in CloudSpend:
