Aggregated Chargeback Version 10.0.00

Use Search to find a template, report or dashboard by name. Search is case insensitive, supports partial entries, and will display a list of potential matches.

As you enter the name in the Search field, up to 10 potential matches are displayed. If the template, report or dashboard is shown, you can select and run it directly from the match list. You can also click All Items in the match list to go directly to the Search Results.

StorageConsole provides different navigation options to slice and examine your collected data. You can explore the data by using the APTARE customizable report templates or by using parts of your IT infrastructure as entry points. The Inventory Navigator serves as a browser for your infrastructure by object type. See also Exploring Your Inventory.

Use the Reports tab to examine the StorageConsole catalog of templates, dashboards and reports - organized by products along with user-created, and system folders. This report is located here:

Note: This is a host-based report. Host data collection is required before data will appear in this report.

This Capacity Chargeback report enables you to aggregate the data by Host Groups or by a particular host attribute (for example, Department).

The Report Designer provides both a filtering and a grouping mechanism.

• Host Groups and Attributes are used to aggregate the data—that is, a grouping mechanism. Note that Attributes are from the host’s perspective.

• If you choose only Host Groups (without an Attribute), the report will be filtered on the selected Host Groups and also will be grouped by Host Group.

• Allocate Duplicate Host to All, when checked, reports duplicate host usage in all Host Groups, if hosts are in more than one host group.

• Allocate Duplicate Host to All, when unchecked, reports duplicate host usage only in the first alphabetical host group.

Capacity Chargeback Policies are configured by the StorageConsole Administrator. The administrator uses these policies to assign a cost-per-GB to hosts in a host group.

See examples in Aggregated Chargeback by Host Groups and Aggregated Chargeback by Attribute.

When you do not select an Attribute in the Report Designer, the report is organized by Host Groups.

Host Groups OR <Attribute Name>	Host group to which the policy applies; if an Attribute was selected in the Report Designer the values are displayed in Attribute alphabetical order.
Policy	Links to Policy Detail.
Cost Per GB	The unit cost configured in the policy.
Total Usage	Links to Chargeback Detail.
Total Cost	Cost-per-GB * Total Usage.

When you select an Attribute in the Report Designer, the report is organized by that Attribute.

Detail reports are related to a specific enterprise object, such as a backup job or SAN fabric. You can only access detail reports through a link presented in the context of a main report, providing additional information that augments the main report. Detail reports cannot be generated, customized, or saved, as they are specific to the report from which they were derived. Therefore, they will not be available in search results.

Use Search to find the main template, report or a dashboard by name. Search is case insensitive, supports partial entries, and will display a list of potential matches.

As you enter the template, dashboard or report name in the Search field, up to 10 potential matches are displayed. If the result is shown, you can select and run it directly from the match list. You can also select All Items to display the full search results page and further filter your results.

You can use the Reports tab to browse through the StorageConsole templates, dashboards and reports. The navigation pane displays templates organized by products along with user created, and system folders. The main report is located here:
