Identifying the source VNet for the charges on a peering connection

Question

In the Cost management , I select Resource group, and Service Tier (Virtual Network) filters to see the cost breakdown.

In the breakdown I see "Intra-Region Ingress" line item. The VNet I'm interested in has peering connections with other Vnets from the same region. How do I know the cost breakdown further on which peering connection is costing what amount within the total Ingress charge?
