Splunk Add-on for Amazon Web Services: Is there a way to have the saved search "AWS Bill - Detailed Cost Latest Snapshot" pull data for the current month?

Currently the savedsearch "AWS Bill - Detailed Cost Latest Snapshot" only pulls last month. Can I have it pull the current month?

hi, there's a lot of complexity to gathering billing data which is gone into in detail here: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/latest/AWS/ConfigureInputs#Billing_inputs

short answer is "we do that already, to the best of the abilities afforded to us by AWS."
