The EGI Accounting service stores resource usage records from various services offered by EGI, such as Cloud, HTC and storage systems. It works thanks to a network of message brokers that transfer usage data from the host to a central repository of information. The data is handled securely and can be consulted online through the EGI Accounting Portal.
EGI council members can use EGI accounting services to account for the resource usage of their own services.
