Abacus service boker provisioning API

API overview

A provisioning plugin provides REST APIs for manipulation and retrieving information about provisioned resources in Abacus. For more details and examples, please have a look at the resource provider guide.

Authentication

The requests MUST authenticate with the Abacus provisioning plugin via oAuth token (the Authorization: header) on every request. The provisioning plugin is responsible for validating the oAuth token and returning a 401 Unauthorized message if the token is invalid. oAuth token MUST include scopes. More information can be found in Abacus Authentication-and-Authorization.

The metering plan defines the metering part of the calculations that Abacus will execute.
| Property | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | plan
id | string |Plan ID | | measures | array | Array of Measures objects | | metrics | array | Array of MeteringMetric objects |

Measure

Measures are the raw data that you submit to Abacus. Each measure consists of multiple entries, each of them associated with a name and unit.
| Property | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | name | string | The name of the measure. For example storage, heavy_api_calls or light_api_calls. | | unit | string | The unit of the measure. For example BYTE and CALL. |

MeteringMetric

While the measures represent the raw data, the metrics combine and derive something out of the data.
| Property | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | name | string | The name of the metric. For example storage or thousand_light_api_calls. | | unit | string | The unit of the metric. For example GIGABYTE and THOUSAND_CALLS. | | type | string | There are two metric types discrete and time-based. | | meter | string | A map function responsible for transforming a raw measure into the unit used for metering. | | accumulate | string | A reduce function responsible for accumulating metered usage over time. | | aggregate | string | A reduce function responsible for aggregating usage in Cloud Foundry entities (space and organization), instead of time. | | summarize | string | A reduce function responsible for summarizing the different types of usage. |

RatingPlan

A rating plan defines the rating calculations.
| Property | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | planid | string | Plan ID | | metrics | array | Array of RatingMetric objects |

RatingMetric

While the measures represent the raw data, the metrics combine and derive something out of the data.
| Property | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | name | string | The name of the metric. For example storage or thousand_light_api_calls. | | rate | string | A simple map function responsible for converting an aggregated usage into a cost. This can be done at various levels like service instance, plan, app, space, org etc. | | charge | string | A reduce function responsible for charging at various levels like service instance, plan, app, space, org and so on. |

PricingPlan

A pricing plan defines the pricing on per-measure basis.
| Property | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | planid | string | Plan ID | | metrics | array | Array of PricingMetric objects |

PricingMetric

While the measures represent the raw data, the metrics combine and derive something out of the data.
| Property | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | name | string | The name of the metric. For example storage or thousand_light_api_calls. | | metrics | array | Array of Price objects |

Price

| Property | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | country | string | The ID of the country. For example EUR or USA. | | metrics | number | The price for the coresponding country. |
