Hello, all. I am looking to set up an exceptions file in one of our repos for a FinOps policy. To do this, I believe I need the

policy_id

. I already tried exporting the FinOps policies to CSV, but that does not seem to include the

policy_id

value. Is there any way for me to get the

policy_id

from the InfraCost portal, or will I need to download the repo and run the infracost CLI to get it?

Hello, could you please elaborate what this exceptions file is? Is it the Infracost's FinOps policy ID you need? If yes, you can find it by name on FinOps policies page, click

...

menu and click edit - it will navigate to page with URL where the last UUID

.../finops-policies/uuid

is your policy's ID.

Thanks, Vadim. Apologies - poor use of terminology on my part. I was referring to the infracost.yml configuration file. It was my understanding I could add the file to the root of the repository with a finops_policy.skip_policies block listing the policy_id and the reason the policy is being skipped? Clicking the ellipsis I only see the View option in the policy (a limitation of my role/permission I assume) - however that does give me the UUID. 👍
