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 [email protected] if we can help -
Sounds like a great use case.

back / Show back on Scale today and how do you collect the data
Good Morning,
I have a large managed services provider in Australia who are looking
at the benefits of deploying Scale for a combination of Object storage
and basic SMB file access. This data is typically historical data
rather than highly accessed production data and the proposed services
is designed to be a low cost option - think a private version of
Amazon's Glacier type offering. The proposed solution will have
Platinum - Flash, Gold - SAS, Silver - NL-SAS and Bronze - Tape
tiers with different cost's per Tier
One of the questions that they have asked is, how can they on a
regular basis (6-10min increments), poll the storage array to
determine what capacity is stored in what tier of disk, by company /
user, and export the results (ideally via an API) into their
Reporting and Billing system. They do something similar today for
their VMWare farm (6 minute increments), to provide accountability for
the number of virtual machines they are providing, and would like to
extend this capability to their file storage offering, which today is
based on basic virtual windows file servers
Is anyone doing something similar today? and if so at what granularity?
