The Metering OSID is an auxiliary service to read measurements and calculate statistics.

Meters

The Meter represents a measure. Examples might be the number of access times or the number of bytes consumed. The Meter itself is simply the identifier for the measure. The count for a specific reference Id at the current point in time is available in a Reading of a Meter using the MeterReadingSession.

Statistics

Statistics are Readings over a period of time. Statistics offer sums, averages, and other statistical data for a Meter in a given period of time.

Cataloging

Meters can be organized into Utility catalogs for organization and federation.

Sub Packages

The Metering OSID contains a Metering Batch OSID for managing Meters in bulk and a Metering Threshold OSID for managing and subscribing to thresholds.
