FAQs

How can I supply input variables to Infracost Intellij extension?

To supply input variables for your Terraform projects, we recommend you add a config file. Config files allow you to add any number of variable files for defined projects. Infracost also auto-detects any var files called terraform.tfvars, or *.auto.tfvars at the root level of your Terraform projects. e.g:

version: 0.1
projects:
  - path: dev
    name: development
    usage_file: dev/infracost-usage.yml
    terraform_var_files:
      - dev.tfvars
      - global.tfvars

Both HCL and JSON var files are supported, JSON var files must include a .json suffix.

How do I supply a usage file to the Infracost Intellij extension?

To supply input variables for your Terraform projects, we recommend you add a config file. Config files allow you to define a usage file for each project you specify, e.g:

version: 0.1
projects:
  - path: dev
    usage_file: dev/infracost-usage.yml
  - path: prod
    usage_file: prod/infracost-usage.yml

I see a lot of resources showing $0.00 costs, why is this?

These resources are likely usage-based resources. For example, AWS Lambda is billed per request, so unless you specify the number of requests that the function receives. You're likely to see a message similar to the following: " Cost depends on usage: $0.20 per 1M requests" in the resource breakdown.

To specify usage for resources, add a usage file and reference it in a config file you add at the root of your workspace.

How can I configure the currency Infracost uses?

If you have the infracost CLI installed, you can set the currency by running infracost configure set currency EUR (check infracost configure --help for other configuration options). Otherwise, update the global infracost configuration file (found at ~/.config/infracost/configuration.yml) with the following:

version: "0.1"
currency: EUR

Infracost supports all ISO 4217 currency codes. This FAQ has more details.
