Note
titleChanges to enterprise properties for AWS billing

Abiquo 6.0.0

  • Before you upgrade, add the amazon_bucket_region as an enterprise property. The value is the code for the AWS region where your billing bucket is located (for example, us-east-1)


To configure Abiquo properties for AWS billing

  1. By default, the platform will retrieve billing data for the last two months. To change this value, on the Abiquo Server, edit the abiquo.properties file and add the following property with the number of months to retrieve:

    Code Block
    abiquo.enterprise.property.billing.monthoffset=2


  2. By default, the platform will process all items in the CSV file, so the partner discount (SppDiscount) value can be visible on customer dashboards. To discard items from the CSV file, on the Remote Services server, edit the abiquo.properties file and add the following property with any items to discard. 

    Code Block
    abiquo.ec2billing.lineItemType.ignore=SppDiscount

  1. The Abiquo users should have the privileges to Display hybrid dashboard tab, View bills, and optionally to Display VM cost view widget (hybrid tab)
