Accounting Service
The accounting service collects, analyzes and then provides information about the usage of services for example HPC usage, storage data, virtual machines data. The service provides information only related to NI4OS/EOSC services and is available to the project management team and the service administrators. The accounting data the user will be able to browse is represented by tables, charts and graphs. NI4OS accounting service is available at https://accounting.ni4os.eu/
NI4OS Login
You will be able to login using your NI4OS credentials by using the NI4OS Login button. In order to be able to use the service, you also need to be a member of a virtual organization. If you attempt to use the service without such membership, you will get an error message with instructions on how to join a VO. Once logged, you will be redirected to the accounting dashboard where you can start browsing the accounting data.
Getting Resource Key
Once you have an account and you have been approved by the accounting admin, you can get your resource key by going to RESOURCES tab and choosing the appropriate resource type, for instance choosing HPC. Then you can see a config button on your HPC system row. Once you click it you can see the resource key.
Submitting HPC Data

Submitting Cloud and Storage Data
You can submit Cloud or Storage data by going to RESOURCES tab and choosing cloud or storage and then clicking on the add data button on the row with the name of your resource.
