Hi,
I just want to clarify the burstable rate calculation which should work as below according to wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burstable_billing#95th_percentile) :
“ Bandwidth is measured (or sampled) from the switch or router and recorded in a log file. In most cases, this is done every 5 minutes. At the end of the month, the samples are sorted from highest to lowest, and the top 5% (which equal to approximately 36 hours of a 30-day billing cycle) of data is thrown away. The next highest measurement becomes the billable use for the entire month. “
Is observium applying the same calculation on BILLING feature ? Is it possible to download RAW file in which has sample of every 5 minutes ?
Regards, chanty
Hi,
We record a value every time the billing poller is run (normally 5 mins, but this is not fixed) and generate 95th, average or volume calculations.
I don't think we actually have a method of outputting the raw values, since no one has asked.
The data is present in the database, though.
Adam.
