Usage reports

Usage reports provide historical data about use of the services. Usage reports are available in both CSV and HTML formats.

The values of storage usage displayed in the product UI are in binary byte units – mebibytes (MiB), gibibytes (GiB), and tebibytes (TiB) – even though the labels show MB, GB, and TB respectively. For example, if the actual usage is 3105886629888 bytes, the value displayed in the UI is correctly shown as 2.82, but is labeled with TB instead of TiB.

Report type

You can select one of the following report types:

  • Current usage

    The report contains the current service usage metrics.

    The usage metrics are calculated within each of the child tenants' billing periods. If the tenants included in the report have different billing periods, the parent tenant's usage may differ from the sum of the child tenants' usages.

  • Current usage distribution

    This report is available only for partner tenants that are managed by an external provisioning system. This report is useful when the billing periods of child tenants do not match the billing period of the parent tenant. The report contains the service usage metrics for child tenants calculated within the current billing period of the parent tenant. The parent tenant's usage is guaranteed to be equal to the sum of the child tenants' usages.

  • Summary for period

    The report contains the service usage metrics for the end of the specified period, and the difference between the metrics in the beginning and at the end of the specified period.

    Local storage usage data is reported only at the unit and customer tenant levels. Users do not receive information about the local storage usage in the Summary reports.

  • Day-by-day for period

    The report contains the service usage metrics and their changes for each day of the specified period.

Report scope

You can select the scope of the report from the following values:

  • Direct customers and partners

    The report will include the service usage metrics only for the immediate child tenants of the tenant in which you are operating.

  • All customers and partners

    The report will include the service usage metrics for all child tenants of the tenant in which you are operating.

  • All customers and partners (including user details)

    The report will include the service usage metrics for all child tenants of the tenant in which you are operating and for all users within the tenants.

Metrics with zero usage

You can reduce the number of rows in the report by showing information about the metrics that have non-zero usage, and hiding information about the metrics that have zero usage.
