Filter by tags

You can limit cloud-scanner results (metriccs or json) to the cloud resources that match specific tags.

You can use multiple tags.

Works with inventory or estimates.

Filter in cli

# Retrieve only resources with the following tags:
#  CustomTagNameForDebug=olivierdemeringoadm
#     and 
#  Name=test-boavizta
cargo run -- -t Name=test-boavizta-2 -t CreatorName=olivierdemeringoadm  inventory| jq

Filter (with serverless/lambda)

Use one (or multiple) filter_tag parameter in the query string to restrict results.

# Retrieve only resources with the following tags:
#  CustomTagNameForDebug=olivierdemeringoadm
#     and 
#  Name=test-boavizta
https://<EDITED>.execute-api.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/dev/scan?use_duration_hours=5&aws_region=eu-west-1&filter_tag=CustomTagNameForDebug=olivierdemeringoadm&filter_tag=Name=test-boavizta

Filter metrics

Use the filter_tag query parameter in the URL.

It can be used multiple time (only instances matching all tags will be returned).

Example queries

• http://localhost:8000/metrics?aws_region=eu-west-3&filter_tag=Name=boatest&filter_tag=OtherTag=other-value
• http://localhost:8000/metrics?aws_region=eu-west-3&filter_tag=Name=boatest
• http://localhost:8000/metrics?aws_region=eu-west-1&filter_tag=Name=test-boavizta

Important limitation

Suppose the following instances (and tags)

• instance1 (

  • ENV=prod
  • PURPOSE=CI

• instance2

  • ENV=prod
  • PURPOSE=service

• Filtering on “ENV=prod” will return instance1 and instance2

• Filtering on “ENV=prod” and PURPOSE=CI will return only instance2

• No filter will return all instances
