Failed to fetch the data using tool

[Talha Nazir]

Hello Team, 
I am trying to run the cloud carbon footprint tool on my local server and connect it with my AWS account to fetch the carbon footprint. I want to know few things regarding the tool. 

1- Do the tool itself fetch the data from AWS and save it in Athena ? or we have to save the statistics on database? As I am only able to see the fetch query in the tools source code.

2- Also I am getting issue of columns names as I have created the database and table using Athena but it gives me error for not having suitable columns in the table . How would I know that which columns do I have to add on the Athena table?

3-I am having confusion regarding the configuration setting like region and account ids ? 

Looking forward for your response 
Thanks,
Talha

Hi Talha,

Thanks for reaching out! For the questions you asked:

1. Please take a look at the docs for setting up AWS with CCF. There is a section that details how to enable the CUR and what config is necessary.

2. This should be resolved by following the steps in the first point.

3, Region should not be needed for our supported billing data approach using Athena. Account Id's is also optional, but can be used for filtering results.

Thanks,
CCF Team
