Getting Cost metrics from AWS - before these are recorded in CloudWatch you first need to setup a billing alarm (use the web console) You need to use the 'default' region, don't set endpoint to eu-west (or anything else)
// charges are only available from the 'default' region
private lazy val defaultCloudClient = new AmazonCloudWatchAsyncClient(Configuration.aws.credentials)
def cost = new CostMetric(defaultCloudClient.getMetricStatisticsAsync(new GetMetricStatisticsRequest()
.withNamespace("AWS/Billing")
.withMetricName("EstimatedCharges")
.withStartTime(new DateTime().toLocalDate.toDate)
.withEndTime(new DateTime().toDate)
.withStatistics("Maximum")
.withPeriod(60 * 60 * 24)
.withDimensions(new Dimension().withName("Currency").withValue("USD")), asyncHandler))
