Usage

With this API, you can retrieve the count of Dremio Consumption Units (DCU) used by jobs run within projects or on engines within projects. The DCUs are added together by hour or by day. You can retrieve the usage for various time periods up to one year in the past.

note

There is a lag of between one to two hours between the time that a job ends and the time that the number of DCUs used by the job is available to be added into results returned by this API.

Usage Object
{
"id": "95c31978-63c6-437c-9501-951cd712fdc6",
"type": "PROJECT",
"startTime": "2021-07-21T17:00:00Z",

}

Usage Attributes

id String (UUID)

An ID that identifies the project or engine that the object records the usage of.

Example: 95c31978-63c6-437c-9501-951cd712fdc6


type String

Explains whether the usage is reported for a project or for an engine.

Enum: PROJECT, ENGINE

Example: PROJECT


startTime String

The date and time of the start of the time period for which the usage is reported in the object.

Example: 2021-07-21T17:00:00Z


endTime String

The date and time of the end of the time period for which the usage is reported in the object.

Example: 2021-07-21T18:00:00Z


usage Float

A float number that gives the usage for the object with the ID reported in the id field. Usage is measured in Dremio Consumption Units (DCU).

Example: 7.2

Usages Attributes

data Array of Object

An array of returned usage objects.


previousPageToken String

An token that can be used in requests to retrieve the previous page of usage objects in a usages object.

Example: ""


nextPageToken String

An token that can be used in requests to retrieve the next page of usage objects in a usages object.

Example: CAIaBkhPVVJMWSIGRU5HSU5FKAI=

Retrieving Usage Objects

Retrieves a paginated array of usage objects for all projects or engines in the organization that the requestor belongs to. The default is all projects, with 20 usage objects per page.

Retrieving Usage Objects
GET /v0/usage

Parameters

pageToken Query   String   Optional

Used to get the next/previous page of paginated usages. Other parameters must not change when using the pageToken.

Example: CAIaBkhPVVJMWSIGRU5HSU5FKAI=


maxResults Query   Integer   Optional

Maximum number of usage objects to return per page. The default is 20 usage objects.

Example: 25


filter Query   String   Optional

Allows filtering on id and start_time, which is in milliseconds since UNIX epoch. The maximum supported date period is 90 days, and data cannot be retrieved further than 1 year in the past. The default is 30 days from the time of request.

Example: id == '95c31978-63c6-437c-9501-951cd712fdc6' && start_time >= 1638234061000 && start_time < 1638320461000


frequency Query   String   Optional

Whether to group the usage data by day or hour. The default is DAILY.

Enum: DAILY, HOURLY


groupBy Query   String   Optional

Whether to group the results by project or engine. Default is by project. The default is PROJECT. This parameter is not required.

Enum: PROJECT, ENGINE

Examples of Requests

This example retrieves thirty usage objects (one for each of the past thirty days) for the project that has the ID specified in the filter. For each day, the usages of the jobs that ran in the project that day are added together.

Example 1
curl -X GET "http://api.dremio.cloud/v0/usage?filter=id=='671653b1-5a63-44db-a88e-1aa89cecf0d0'" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <Authorization token>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"

This example uses the token from either the previousPageToken or nextPageToken of a usages object to retrieve the previous or next page of usage objects. The example also specifies to retrieve only up to ten usage objects. Each usage object represents an hour of usage. No filter is specified, so the request retrieves the amount of usage for each project and engine in the organization connected to, and for the default of the previous thirty days.

note

Except for the value of the pageToken parameter, the values of all of the other parameters are the same as they were in previous requests for subsets of the same set of usage objects. Changing the value of maxResults would change the number of usage objects returned per page, therefore changing the pagination. Changing the value of frequency, groupBy, or both would retrieve an entirely different set of usage objects. So, too, would using a non-default values for filter.

Example 2
curl -X GET "http://example.com/v0/usage?pageToken=CHH86FGBV450ICTDS42YY6DLI09I=&maxResults=10&frequency=HOURLY&groupBy=ENGINE" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <personal access token>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
