 ## 🏃‍♂️ Usage
 
 Run the metrics collector with a single command:
 
 ```bash
+# Scan all regions
 python -m metrics_collector.utilization_example --start-time 2025-02-19
 
+# Scan only a specific region
+python -m metrics_collector.utilization_example --start-time 2025-02-19 --region us-east-1
+```

 Options:
 
 --start-time: Specify the start time for metric collection (ISO8601 format)
 --end-time: Specify the end time (defaults to current time if not provided)
+--region: AWS region to scan (if not specified, all regions will be scanned)
 --config: Path to a custom configuration file
 --output: Custom name for the output CSV file
