We want to integrate the metrics provided by Cloud Foundry with Abacus. We plan to create a billing/metering integration layer that: fetches the app usage events from CC inserts runtime usage data to

We intend to create 2 applications connected with Abacus: * onboarding - assists service providers with resources definitions (formulas, history, pricing, ...) * reporting - provides different views (

Hi, Do you run this in bosh-lite environment of on hosted CF? In case you have bosh-lite env you have to create a security group that enables the different micro-services to talk to each other. We alr

Hi, Recently abacus introduced Eureka client and stub. Looking at the high level description of what Eureka does it seems it has almost the same responsibilities as gorouter. What is the reason to hav

Hi, I'm wondering how tightly Abacus is bound to CouchDB? Can we create another dbclient that stores the data in DB that allows raw json documents? How easy/hard this would be and where one should sta

Hi Minoru, AFAIK the API does not handle the race condition and this is documented in the link you provided: "There is the potential race condition if apps are currently being started, stopped, or sca

Hi, You can do one or more of these: 1) Start billing epoch just once 2) Compare real application state with the events and provide a compensation logic. We tried this in the Abacus cf-bridge prototyp

Hi, I've been working on an initial implementation of mongodb client: https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/cf-abacus/pull/194 The implementation is currently meant as a drop-in replacement for th

Hi, I now have the first version of a drop-in replacement client for MongoDB: https://github.com/hsiliev/cf-abacus/commit/c29700aa996bf8169767f99ff3d815d4768a2608 The client still has some limitations

Hi, I merged the new client as "mongoclient" module. For now the only way to try it out is to rename it to dbclient and replace the existing CouchDB client with it. Regards, Hristo Iliev

Hi, You can check the the App Usage Events API [1]. They are discarded after some time (default: a month), so you should move the info to a dedicated DB if you need audit events. Regards, Hristo Iliev

You should create a client with the proper permissions/authorities. For bosh-lite this is done with: gem install cf-uaac uaac target uaa.bosh-lite.com --skip-ssl-validation uaac token client get admin

Hi, You can use bosh cloudcheck command to restore the VM state. That saves you the time-consuming part of build/upload/deploy cycle, since it will just restore the processes on the containers/VMs. If

I use a script [1] for restoring my BOSH-lite after computer restart. Basically it starts the VM, adds routes and then targets bosh with specific deployment manifest so BOSH knows what to check for. R

Hi Dieu, We are polling app-usage-events with Abacus, but because of purge the events may be out of order right after billing epoch started. But that's only part of the problem. To consume app-usage-e

Hi, Yep - we call purge only once. And that's why we need to disable it afterwards. It feels a bit odd to know there is an endpoint that is there to be called once. I wonder if we can add some auto-de

Hi again, Would you consider a PR that adds previous memory & instances to the app usage events? Does this two additional fields make a sense? Regards, Hristo Iliev

Hi Nick, Adding previous state sounds good. Will add it in the PR as well. Thanks, Hristo Iliev 2016-03-24 17:29 GMT+02:00 Nicholas Calugar <ncalugar(a)pivotal.io>:

Hi again, We created https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cloud_controller_ng/pull/569 Can you please take a look and comment on possible problems and missed use-cases? Regards, Hristo Iliev 2016-03-24 18:
