[one-users] Accounting of storage used by user

[ML mail]

Hi,

Thanks for the tips on accounting the storage of a user. I wasn't aware that the XML output has so much more information.. Actually there is everything I need in there, even IP information. That's perfect!

Regards
ML

Hi,

I see three ways to approach storage billing:

- Bill according to the available storage (limit set in the quotas).

- Bill the storage used by the running VMs. This was not possible before 4.4, the DISK/SIZE was added for the storage scheduling. Now you can do this:
$ oneacct -u 0 -x | xpath -e "/HISTORY_RECORDS/HISTORY/VM/TEMPLATE/DISK/SIZE"

- Bill the DS usage. This usage is tracked in the user quotas, but we don't keep a history for the changes made here. You could create a script to store the user quotas information in a database with a timestamp, and trigger it with a hook [1] on image create and image remove.
