B.1 Types of Metering Logs
There are two types of metering logs: event logs and periodic logs.
Each of these types of logs is explained below:
Event logs
Event logs are logs that are output when the status of a resource has changed, such as when an L-Platform is created or canceled or when
an L-Server is started or stopped. An event log records resource attribute information such as the date and time at which the event occurred,
event type, information for identifying the resource, and allocation amount.
The following table shows the timing at which event logs will be output:
Event Event identifier Timing of event Resource
Adding ADD When a resource is added and when the
resource is actually secured
- L-Platform
- L-Server
- Disk
- L-Platform template (*1)
- Software (*2)
Changing CHANGE When a resource is changed
Deleting DELETE When a resource deletion is requested
If an approval workflow is enabled, when an
approval or assessment is performed
Starting START When starting a resource is complete
- L-Server
Stopping STOP When stopping a resource is requested
*1: The event log for L-Platform template is output for tenant-specific templates. The event log is not output for global templates. The
CHANGE log will be output if the template name is changed. If only other basic information and configuration information are changed,
the CHANGE log will not be output.
*2: The event log for software will be output based on the software information that has been registered in the image information of
the L-Server. The timing of software addition or deletion events is synchronized with L-Server addition or deletion events, respectively.
Periodic logs
Periodic logs are logs that show the periodic operational status of resources.
The following table shows the timing at which periodic logs will be output:
Event Event identifier Timing of event Resource
Period PERIOD Every day at 0:00 (default) (*1)
- L-Platform
- L-Server
- Disk
