HCP System Management Help
You use query parameters appended to the request URL to specify the time period and reporting interval for a chargeback report. These parameters are all optional. Default values are used for any you omit.
Time period
To specify the time period you want the report to cover, use these query parameters:
•start=start-time specifies the beginning of the time period. These considerations apply:
oWith a reporting interval of hour or total, if you specify a start time that is not on an hour break, the first reporting interval in the report is the hour that includes the specified start time. For example, if you specify a start time of 9:45:00, the first reporting interval in the report starts at 9:00:00.
oWith a reporting interval of day, if you specify a start time that is not on a day break, the first reporting interval in the report is the day that includes the specified start time. For example, if you specify a start time of 9:45:00 on October 6th, the first reporting interval in the report starts at 00:00:00 on October 6th.
oIf you specify a start time that is earlier than the time of the earliest available chargeback statistics or if you omit the start parameter, the first reporting interval in the report is the interval that includes the earliest available statistics.
•end=end-time specifies the end of the time period. These considerations apply:
oWith a reporting interval of hour or total, the last reporting interval in the report is the hour that includes the specified end time. For example, if you specify an end time of 9:00:00, the last reporting interval in the report ends at 9:59:59.
oWith a reporting interval of day, the last reporting interval in the report is the day that includes the specified end time. For example, if you specify an end time of 00:00:00 on October 6th, the last reporting interval in the report ends at 23:59:59 on October 6th.
oIf you specify an end time that is later than the current time or if you omit the end parameter, the last reporting interval in the report is the interval that includes the current time. The point-in-time statistics reported for this interval are the statistics at the current time. The dynamic statistics are the statistics accumulated so far for the interval.
If you specify both a start time and an end time, the start time must be earlier than the end time.
For start-time and end-time, use the ISO 8601 format, which is described in Specifying retention values.
Reporting interval
To specify the reporting interval for a chargeback report, use the granularity query parameter. Valid values for this parameter are:
•hour — The reporting interval is one hour.
•day — The reporting interval is one day.
•total — The reporting interval is the time period defined by the start and end times for the report. In this case, the report contains a single set of chargeback statistics.
The default is total.
These values are not case sensitive.

Note: The statistics reported for the current reporting interval, if included in the chargeback report, may not reflect some reads and writes that have already occurred during the current hour. After the hour is past, however, the statistics for that hour are complete. |
Query parameter examples
Here are some examples of combining query parameters to get specific chargeback reports:
•To get hourly statistics for the entire day of February 18, 2012:
start=2012-02-18T00:00:00-0500&end=2012-02-18T23:59:59-0500
&granularity=hour
•To get daily statistics for the week starting February 19, 2012:
start=2012-02-19T00:00:00-0500&end=2012-02-25T23:59:59-0500
&granularity=day
•To get a single set of statistics for the entire month of February 2012:
start=2012-02-01T00:00:00-0500&end=2012-02-29T23:59:59-0500
&granularity=total
•To get hourly statistics for the current day from 8:00 a.m. up to the current time, where the current day is February 22, 2012:
start=2012-02-22T08:00:00-0500&granularity=hour
