Using Metering

Prerequisites

  • Install Metering

  • Review the details about the available options that can be configured for a Report and how they function.

Writing Reports

Writing a Report is the way to process and analyze data using Metering.

To write a Report, you must define a Report resource in a YAML file, specify the required parameters, and create it in the openshift-metering namespace by using oc.

Prerequisites

  • Metering is installed.

Procedure

  1. Change to the openshift-metering project:

    $ oc project openshift-metering

  2. Create a Report resource as a YAML file:

    1. Create a YAML file with the following content:

      apiVersion: metering.openshift.io/v1
kind: Report
metadata:
  name: namespace-cpu-request-2019 (2)
  namespace: openshift-metering
spec:
  reportingStart: '2019-01-01T00:00:00Z'
  reportingEnd: '2019-12-30T23:59:59Z'
  query: namespace-cpu-request (1)
  runImmediately: true (3)
      1 The query specifies ReportQuery used to generate the Report. Change this based on what you want to report on. For a list of options, run oc get reportqueries | grep -v raw.
      2 Use a descriptive name about what the Report does for metadata.name. A good name is the query, and the schedule or period you used.
      3 Set runImmediately to true for it to run with whatever data is available, or set it to false if you want it to wait for reportingEnd to pass.

    2. Run the following command to create the Report:

      $ oc create -f <file-name>.yaml

report.metering.openshift.io/namespace-cpu-request-2019 created

  3. You can list Reports and their Running status with the following command:

    $ oc get reports

NAME                         QUERY                   SCHEDULE   RUNNING    FAILED   LAST REPORT TIME       AGE
namespace-cpu-request-2019   namespace-cpu-request              Finished            2019-12-30T23:59:59Z   26s

Viewing Report results

Viewing a Report’s results involves querying the reporting-api Route and authenticating to the API using your OpenShift Container Platform credentials. Reports can be retrieved as JSON, CSV, or Tabular formats.

Prerequisites

  • Metering is installed.

  • To access Report results, you must either be a cluster administrator, or you need to be granted access using the report-exporter role in the openshift-metering namespace.

Procedure

  1. Change to the openshift-metering project:

    $ oc project openshift-metering

  2. Query the reporting API for results:

    1. Get the route to the reporting-api:

      $ meteringRoute="$(oc get routes metering -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}')"
$ echo "$meteringRoute"

    2. Get the token of your current user to be used in the request:

      $ token="$(oc whoami -t)"

    3. To get the results, use curl to make a request to the reporting API for your report:

      $ reportName=namespace-cpu-request-2019 (1)
$ reportFormat=csv (2)
$ curl --insecure -H "Authorization: Bearer ${token}" "https://${meteringRoute}/api/v1/reports/get?name=${reportName}&namespace=openshift-metering&format=$reportFormat"
      1 Set reportName to the name of the Report you created.
      2 Set reportFormat to one of csv, json, or tabular to specify the output format of the API response.

      The response should look similar to the following (example output is with reportName=namespace-cpu-request-2019 and reportFormat=csv):
