You can visualize your Storage Lens groups data by attaching the group to your Amazon S3 Storage Lens dashboard. After you've included the Storage Lens group in the Storage Lens group aggregation in your dashboard configuration, it can take up to 48 hours for the Storage Lens group data to display in your dashboard.
After the dashboard configuration has been updated, any newly attached Storage Lens groups appear in the list of available resources under the Storage Lens groups tab. You can also further analyze storage usage in your Overview tab by slicing the data by another dimension. For example, you can choose one of the items listed under the Top 3 categories and choose Analyze by to slice the data by another dimension. You can't apply the same dimension as the filter itself.
Note
You can't apply a Storage Lens group filter along with a prefix filter, or the reverse. You also can't further analyze a Storage Lens group by using a prefix filter.
You can use the Storage Lens groups tab in the Amazon S3 Storage Lens dashboard to customize the data visualization for the Storage Lens groups that are attached to your dashboard. You can either visualize the data for some Storage Lens groups that are attached to your dashboard, or all of them.
When visualizing Storage Lens group data in your S3 Storage Lens dashboard, be aware of the following:
-
S3 Storage Lens aggregates usage metrics for an object under all matching Storage Lens groups. Therefore, if an object matches the filter conditions for two or more Storage Lens groups, you will see repeated counts for the same object across your storage usage.
-
Objects must match the filters that you include in your Storage Lens groups. If no objects match the filters that you include in your Storage Lens group, then no metrics are generated. To determine if there are any unassigned objects, check your total object count in the dashboard at the account level and bucket level.
