Usage Events

Usage events are data records that represent usage or consumption by a given account or service ID. For example, a service that supplies 100 calls per bill cycle may log each call as a usage event to be tracked. Usage events can only be posted once the usage rules and service identifiers are set up. These can be added via the API by including the following in the request body: start time, end time, unit of measure, usage amount, reference ID and sequence IDs.

If needed, you can also add the usage_field_names parameter associated with given lookup or rate tables. For example, when creating a usage rule on order item, we added the following usage_field_name: NUMBER05. When you add this parameter to the request payload while posting events, only usage associated with this field will be posted.

You can perform the following actions on usage events:

In Gotransverse user interface, you can also view, edit, and void the existing usage events.
