<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>I see three ways to approach storage billing:</div><div><br></div><div>- Bill according to the available storage (limit set in the quotas).</div><div><br></div><div>- 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:</div>
<div>$ oneacct -u 0 -x | xpath -e "/HISTORY_RECORDS/HISTORY/VM/TEMPLATE/DISK/SIZE"</div><div><br></div><div>- 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.</div>
