As part of standard performance monitoring for linux, ESALPS provides
at the VM level the ESAACCT report that shows by virtual machine,
by virtual machine class, and/or by accounting code the CPU, I/O,
and average resident storage. In the example, parameters turn these
into service units, the service units are then charged for at .005
per service unit. So for the accounting code "LXSCBC01",  or virtual
machine, the total service units for this accounting period
is 1822000, for which the total charges would be $9108.
All of the service unit definitions are of course tailorable
by the installation.

The next report, the ESAHSTA report shows by Linux process group
the number of CPU seconds used by each process, grouped by name.
Another report breaks it down by specific process.

So we know what resources and charges by linux server, and can
further break that down by process and/or process grouping.

Is this what you are looking for?
