Abstract
A technique is introduced that enables one or more mechanisms to collect storage and transfer utilization metrics for an account in a distributed data storage system that are more scalable and robust than conventional ways. The technique includes a method comprising, for each of the nodes, of collecting storage utilization data for a one account. The method further includes, for each proxy server, collecting transfer utilization data for the one account. The method further includes, at the controller, generating a cluster account interval (CAI) data based on a raw storage data file and an aggregated transfer data file. The CAI data include storage and transfer utilization data over a predetermined time span.
