Generating a Vault Usage report

Edit online

The Vault Usage report generates a vault usage summary based on a date range (monthly or user-specified) for each vault.

About this task

Daily averages of the storage that is used by each vault are calculated. When a date range is selected, the sum of daily average usage in the range is displayed in PB/TB/GB/MB/kB days. When the content is exported, the number is converted to Byte-days that can be used for billing purposes. The report includes all the vaults (standard, service, container, and management) on the system irrespective of the vault purpose.

Storage that is used by each vault is shown as the sum of daily average usage for the days that are selected in tabular format. Each vault usage is displayed in "PB/TB/GB/MB/kB days". When the content is exported, the usage is converted to Byte-days.

The Search field can be used to dynamically search through the table for items that contain the search input. The Filter drop-down on the Storage Pool column can be used for filtering vaults that are associated with the selected Storage Pool. Both of these operations are mutually exclusive.

The table can be sorted on columns Name, Usage, and Provisioning Code by clicking the associated column header.

Note: The From date is inclusive and the To date is exclusive. Usage is collected every day at midnight GMT. The Usage Reporting Start and the Usage Reporting End columns present data based on either the user selected time zone or the default time zone (GMT).
