EGI Accounting Portal

The EGI Accounting Portal is the global graphical front-end to EGI accounting data. Accounting statistics are available through this portal for the analysis of the different grid users, VO administrators an site administrators. This data is analysed to generate statistical summaries that are made available through a web interface.

The accounting infrastructure is based on the collection, processing and presentation of CPU resource usage records that are derived from the log files on the Compute Element (CE) and local batch farm. The data are processed and analysed producing statistical summaries that are available through the Accounting Portal. Access to the data at the Anonymous, User and VOMS level is controlled by means of ACLs. Usage metrics at the VO level are generated allowing for a global overview of CPU resource usage across the entire infrastructure. The analysis of the accounting statistics show that, although there are 118 registered VOs in EGI, less than 25 VOs are actively using the Grid.
