Cluster Billing History

Use the Billing menu section to view and analyze the details of the platform users’ payments and resource consumption.

In the Cluster Billing History report, you can overview the Cost Summary for the platform and, if needed, get data per a specific resource type (via the appropriate tabs).

billing history summary

The data is displayed in the form of a graph with the table of exact values below. You can configure the required period and other filtering parameters up to your needs:

  • Start and End Date - provides a period to show the information for
  • Interval - sets a graph granularity (hour, day, week, month)
  • Used by – selects Cluster-wide consumption, parent platform’s Own Users, or particular reseller (see automatic resources recalculation)
  • Users Type - displays data for free (i.e. trial and beta) or paid (billing and post) users

An additional Options list is available for the Cost Summary tab, allowing to include/exclude some specific resources. Once all the parameters are stated, click Refresh to update the graph.

Tips:

  • the Cost data is shown in the currency of the platform (the HOSTER_CURRENCY system setting)
  • you can hide graphs for the Invoiced or Bonus data by clicking on the appropriate records in the legend
  • hover over the chart to view the exact values for the moment in a pop-up

Billing Data per Resource Type

The platform provides a detailed Billing History for each of the resources (Cloudlets, Virtuozzo Infrastructure, S3 Storage, Storage, Public IPv4, Public IPv6, SSL, Billable Traffic) and can produce CSV reports.

The layout for all these tabs is similar. In the left part, the data about the chosen resource Cost is displayed:

  • Date - periods based on the specified Start and End Date range and Interval
  • Invoiced - the amount paid for the resource
  • Bonus - the amount paid for the resource via bonuses

In the right part, the data about the consumed Resources amount is shown:

  • Date - periods based on the specified Start and End Date range and Interval
  • Invoiced - the amount of the resource consumed and paid for
  • Bonus - the amount of the resource consumed and paid for via bonuses

Note: The Resources table on the Cloudlets and Billable Traffic tabs provides additional graphs on the total Used cloudlets and All Traffic respectively.

Billing Data Reports

The Billing > CSV Report tab provides the ability to automatically prepare billing history reports and download them in CSV format. You can use these reports for any of your needs (analysis with third-party tools, charging resellers, etc.).

Customize the preview filters and click Search to display report in the admin panel:

  • Period (last 7/14/30 days)

    Note: The preview periods are fixed and provided for the full days only (i.e., don’t include the current day data). Use the Download CSV to review custom periods, which can include today’s data.

  • Distributor (group of resellers)
  • Resellers (multiple ones can be selected)
  • Regions (multiple ones can be selected)
  • User ID (unique identifier of a specific end-user)
  • Cost (enable to include the Price per Unit and Cost columns)

CSV report preview

Tip: The same tab within the reseller’s admin panel provides information on that specific reseller’s users only and uses tariffs specified by the reseller for users (not tariffs specified by Cloud Owner for the reseller).

You can download reports with the appropriate Download CSV button. It provides the same filtering options as described above and a customizable Start/End Date period:
