Any help on this is appreciated, I am using metricbeat to get the data from aws cloud watch and cost explorer, from Elasticsearch and to kibana dashboard i was able successfully get the all metrics for ec2 from aws. But when coming billing i was not able to filter it out by cost center.

aws.yml looks like

* * *

- module: aws  
period: 300s  
metricsets:
  - ec2  
access\_key\_id: '\<access\_key\_id\>'  
secret\_access\_key: '\<secret\_access\_key\>'  
tags\_filter:
  - key: "CostCenter"  
value: "xxxxx"

- module: aws  
period: 24h  
metricsets:
  - billing  
tags\_filter:
  - key: "CostCenter"  
value: "xxxxx"  
cost\_explorer\_config:  
group\_by\_dimension\_keys:
    - "AZ"
    - "INSTANCE\_TYPE"
    - "SERVICE"  
group\_by\_tag\_keys:
    - "aws:createdBy"

By doing this i was able to get the estimated cost for all the account but not able to filter it out in the kibana dashboard. no values displayed.
