Importing old CUR reports into CUDOS/CID

Question

We have recently migrated all our accounts from an organization built within one payer account to another organization with a different payer account.
Is there a way to import the old CURs into the new organization's CUDOS dashboards?

Accepted Answer

Adding a new reply, as I need to format it which is not possible if i provide a comment to your previous question. I am hoping Payer got converted to a linked account when it was moved under the new Organization. If yes, you can check and do something like below.

Prior to Move:

```
Old Payer (contain 1 Payer and 1 linked account)
 - Nov-2022-cur.parquet
 - Dec-2022-cur.parquet 
```

```
New Payer (contain 1 Payer and 2 linked accounts)
- Nov-2022-cur.parquet 
- Dec-2022-cur.parquet 
```

After Old Payer is moved to the new Payer Org starting Jan 2023:

```
Old Payer (contain 1 Payer and 1 linked account)
 - Nov-2022-cur.parquet
 - Dec-2022-cur.parquet 
 - NO CUR GENERATED FOR JAN 2023 --> please validate if this is true
```

```
New Payer (contain 1 Payer and 4 linked accounts - 2 from new and 2 from old)
- Nov-2022-cur.parquet 
- Dec-2022-cur.parquet 
- Jan-2023-cur.parquet 
```

For your CUDOS dashboard, a below format will ensure you have option to query both historical and current CUR data from old and new payer.

```
s3://--shared/
	cur//cid/cid/year=2022/month=12/*.parquet
	cur//cid/cid/
                     year=2022/
                            month=12/*.parquet
                     year=2023/
                            month=01/*.parquet
```

Answer

It is possible to integrate the cost dashboards on top of multiple Management (Payer) Accounts or multiple linked accounts, using the [Advanced Setup](https://www.wellarchitectedlabs.com/cost/200_labs/200_cloud_intelligence/cost-usage-report-dashboards/dashboards/deploy_dashboards/#advanced-setup) documented in well architected labs. In your case, you can check to see the existing CUR structure and see if you can extend it by moving your CUR reports in the structure like below.

```
s3://--shared/
	cur//cid/cid/year=XXXX/month=YY/*.parquet
	cur//cid/cid/year=XXXX/month=YY/*.parquet
	cur//cid/cid/year=XXXX/month=YY/*.parquet
```

Answer

Thank you for your reply.
I wanted to ask one additional question - the old payer account is now part of the new organization. Would this scenario work as well?
