Abstract
A method and apparatus for collecting and supporting querying of multi-dimensional data pertaining to usage of software and/or hardware to service tenant requests in a multi-tenant cloud computing system where the multi-dimensional data is initially captured on a per request basis and recorded in objects of a first type that store data pertaining to a specific request, specific tenant, specific host and specific time. The objects of the first type are combined by time windows to form objects of a second type. The objects of a second type are stored in another system as separate text files. Responsive to a query for multi-dimensional data for a specific tenant that spans an interval of multiple time windows, the objects of the second type for the specific tenant and time interval are combined across all hosts to generate a query result, and the query result is returned.
