Send a Metering Record

AWS

If you need to send metering records to AWS, you'll need to send a POST request to https://api.tackle.io/v1/metering/meter with the right authorization header and a body similar to the following example:

{
     "cloud": "aws",
     "customerid": "ij3sXMkN3or",
     "productid": "1test1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9ijk",
     "records": [
          {
               "CustomerIdentifier": "ij3sXMkN3or",
               "ProductIdentifier": "1test1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9ijk",
               "Dimension": "example_dimension_name",
               "Timestamp": "2019-07-15T15:00:00.000000+00:00",
               "Quantity": 1
          }
     ]
}

How to confirm metering records?

To confirm the metering record was sent to the Cloud Marketplace, send the same payload until the HTTP 200 response includes the sent_at field with a UTC timestamp string.

You'll be able to find more examples of different possible responses in the AWS or Azure/GCP metering API reference.
