DCache Billing Information

• Billing Logs
• Billing Database

The raw information about all dCache activities can be found in /opt/d-cache/billing/<YYYY>/<MM>/billing-<YYYY.MM.DD>. A typical output line is:

 05.31 22:35:16 [pool:<pool-name>:transfer] [000100000000000000001320,24675] \
 myStore:STRING@osm 24675 474 true {GFtp-1.0 <client-host-fqn> 37592} {0:""}

The first bracket contains the pool name, the second the PNFS ID and the size of the file which is transferred. Then follows the storage class, the actual amount of bytes transferred, and the number of milliseconds the transfer took. The next entry is true if the transfer was a wrote data to the pool. The first braces contain the protocol, client FQN, and the client host data transfer listen port. The final bracket contains the return status and a possible error message.

Billing logs for dCache version 1.6.6

Slight changes have been made to the billing information that is recorded by dCache in its 'out-of-the-box' configuration. The DN of the user who initiates any transfer is now recorded, as is the hostname of the other machine. The filenames are not recorded, but the pnfs IDs are.
