Chapter 6. Using Metering
6.1. Prerequisites
- Install Metering
- Review the details about the available options that can be configured for a report and how they function.
6.2. 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.
Prerequisites
- Metering is installed.
Procedure
Change to the
openshift-metering
project:$ oc project openshift-metering
Create a
Report
resource as a YAML file:Create a YAML file with the following content:
apiVersion: metering.openshift.io/v1 kind: Report metadata: name: namespace-cpu-request-2019 1 namespace: openshift-metering spec: reportingStart: '2019-01-01T00:00:00Z' reportingEnd: '2019-12-30T23:59:59Z' query: namespace-cpu-request 2 runImmediately: true 3
- 2
- The
query
specifies theReportQuery
resources used to generate the report. Change this based on what you want to report on. For a list of options, runoc get reportqueries | grep -v raw
. - 1
- Use a descriptive name about what the report does for
metadata.name
. A good name describes the query, and the schedule or period you used. - 3
- Set
runImmediately
totrue
for it to run with whatever data is available, or set it tofalse
if you want it to wait forreportingEnd
to pass.
Run the following command to create the
Report
resource:$ oc create -f <file-name>.yaml
Example output
report.metering.openshift.io/namespace-cpu-request-2019 created
You can list reports and their
Running
status with the following command:$ oc get reports
Example output
NAME QUERY SCHEDULE RUNNING FAILED LAST REPORT TIME AGE namespace-cpu-request-2019 namespace-cpu-request Finished 2019-12-30T23:59:59Z 26s
6.3. 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 theopenshift-metering
namespace.
Procedure
Change to the
openshift-metering
project:$ oc project openshift-metering
Query the reporting API for results:
Create a variable for the metering
reporting-api
route then get the route:$ meteringRoute="$(oc get routes metering -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}')"
$ echo "$meteringRoute"
Get the token of your current user to be used in the request:
$ token="$(oc whoami -t)"
Set
reportName
to the name of the report you created:$ reportName=namespace-cpu-request-2019
Set
reportFormat
to one ofcsv
,json
, ortabular
to specify the output format of the API response:$ reportFormat=csv
To get the results, use
curl
to make a request to the reporting API for your report:$ curl --insecure -H "Authorization: Bearer ${token}" "https://${meteringRoute}/api/v1/reports/get?name=${reportName}&namespace=openshift-metering&format=$reportFormat"
Example output with
reportName=namespace-cpu-request-2019
andreportFormat=csv
