I don't think you want to poll once a day something you bill per day. If you poll only at noon, and I use a resource from 8:00 to 10:00, you'll miss my usage and I'll use resource for free. :) Yes, there's a minimum interval to be configured, but it's the interval that defined how much grained your metering/billing will be. E.g. if it's 1 hour, you won't charge anything used for less than one hour. You probably wants something like 5 minutes or less, and be sure the agent can keep up with the needed polling speed. :) -- Julien Danjou // eNovance http://enovance.com // ✉ [email protected] ☎ +33 1 49 70 99 81 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
