[gpfsug-discuss] Is anyone performing any kind of Charge back / Show back on Scale today and how do you collect the data

[Barry Evans]

Thanks Aaron,

We do indeed have some analytics tools based on our python API that can 
extract much of this info in a nice, easy to work with format. 6-10 
minute increments might be slightly aggressive depending on the metadata 
spec and the number of object on the file system, but it's certainly 
doable.

Andrew, feel free to contact us at info at arcastream.com if we can help - 
Sounds like a great use case.
