Quickstart¶

Install the package:

# yum install nova-billing

Start the server:

# /etc/init.d/nova-billing start

Now instance state changes will be stored to a database.

Try to run or terminate an instance and check that the daemon returns reports (replace 999888777666 with a valid Admin’s token):

$ curl http://localhost:8787/projects -H "X-Auth-Token: 999888777666" | python -mjson.tool

Its output should look like this:

{
    "period_end": "2012-02-01T00:00:00Z",
    "period_start": "2012-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "projects": [
        {
            "instances": {
                "count": 7,
                "usage": {
                    "local_gb_h": 68495.83333333333,
                    "memory_mb_h": 7013973.333333333,
                    "vcpus_h": 3424.7916666666665
                }
            },
            "id": "1",
            "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8787/projects/systenant"
        }
    ]
}
