Testing Deployment

Testing your deployment

Your lambda functions will run automatically on the schedule you chose at deployment. However, if you would like to test your functions please see the steps below. Once you have deployed your modules you will be able to test your Lambda function to get your first set of data in Amazon S3.

1. Depending on the module which you would like to test the following Lambda functions should be triggered. Find your module and search for the function in the AWS Lambda Portal:

• AWS Organization Data Export module -> Lambda_Organization_Data_OptimizationDataCollectionStack Lambda function
• Compute Optimizer Collector module -> ComputeOptimizer-Trigger-Export Lambda function
• Trusted Advisor module -> Accounts-Collector-Function-OptimizationDataCollectionStack Lambda function
• Inventory Collector module -> Accounts-Collector-Function-OptimizationDataCollectionStack Lambda function
• ECS Chargeback Data module -> Accounts-Collector-Function-OptimizationDataCollectionStack Lambda function
• RDS Utilization Data module module -> Accounts-Collector-Function-OptimizationDataCollectionStack Lambda function
• AWS Budgets Export module module -> Accounts-Collector-Function-OptimizationDataCollectionStack Lambda function
• AWS Transit Gateway Chargeback module module -> Accounts-Collector-Function-OptimizationDataCollectionStack Lambda function
• Cost Explorer Rightsizing Recommendations module -> Rightsize-Data-Lambda-Function-OptimizationDataCollectionStack Lambda function

2. To test your Lambda function open respective Lambda in AWS Console and click Test

3. Enter an Event name of Test, click Create:

4. Click Test

5. The function will run, it will take a minute or two given the size of the Organizations files and processing required, then return success. Click Details and view the output.

For Compute Optimizer Collector module processing can take up to 30 mins (15 mins for Compute Optimizer to produce exports requested by lambda, and then another 15 mins for the replication from region buckets to the main bucket)

6. Go to the Athena service page

7. You will be able to see your data in the optimization_data Database

8. Some modules has a saved queries, see next section for details, you will be able to see it in the Saved queries section.

Otherwise you can query each table directly by clicking on Preview Table button

If you have just deployed all resources into your Management Account please see below.

Now you have your data in AWS Athena you can use this to identify optimization opportunities using Athena Queries or visualizing data in Amazon QuickSight.
