Google Cloud Billing - 按 Label 过滤未显示

Question

I added resource labels to a few VMs to be able to pull a more granular billing breakdown by label. However, when I go to the billing report, I don't see any option to filter by Label. Is this a permission issue or am I missing something?

If I embed "label=" in the url, the label option will show, but it still doesn't retrieve the matching key pair.

Answer 1

As per my analysis your issue can be due to below reasons:

• As per the official doc it says that

When filtering your billing breakdown by label keys, you are not able to select labels applied to a project. You can select other user-created labels that you set up and applied to Google Cloud services.

This might be the reason you are unable to filter the label.

• Google does not recommend creating large numbers of unique labels, such as for timestamps or individual values for every API call. Refer to these common use cases for labels and Refer this link for requirements of label.

• You need to enable “resourcemanager.projects.get “ permissions and also enable “resourcemanager.projects.update” to add or modify the label.

• Refer to this link to create the label.
