Usage records

A UsageRecord represents the consumption of some resource for some period of time. A UsageRecord consists of a set of AccountingProperties. UsageRecords could represent many different things:

  • A batch job.
  • A single process.
  • A summary of all resource usage by a particular user in single day.

UsageRecords are normally generated by a combination of an AccountingParser and a set of AccountingPolicies and stored in a Accounting table.

There is special support for the generation of Aggregate Usage Records.
