Metric

In order to register a new Metric in the Accounting System, first you have to complete the following steps:

• Create a new Metric Definition
• Register your Project
• Correlate Providers with the registered Project
• Use a Provider from EOSC-Portal or create a new Provider through AS API
• Create a new Installation

Once you have completed the above steps, you can submit a new metric in the Accounting System.

The Metric consists of the following attributes:

Field	Description
id	Unique ID of the Metric
metric_definition_id	Reference Id from the metric definition
time_period_start	Timestamp of the starting date time (Zulu timestamp)
time_period_end	Timestamp of the end date time (Zulu timestamp)
value	Value of the metric for the given period (decimal value)

[POST] - Create a new Metric

You can create a new Metric by executing the following POST request:

POST /accounting-system/installations/{installation_id}/metrics

Content-type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {token}

{
"metric_definition_id" : "62973fea0f41a20c683e9014",
"time_period_start": "2020-12-20T09:13:07Z",
"time_period_end": "2020-12-25T11:14:07Z",  
"value": 700
}

Upon inserting the record into the database, the API returns the Metric enhanced with the metric id :

Success Response 201 CREATED

{
    "metric_id": "72983kea0h41a20c683e3589",
    "metric_definition_id": "62973fea0f41a20c683e9014",
    "time_period_start": "2020-12-20T09:13:07Z",
    "time_period_end": "2020-12-25T11:14:07Z",
    "value": 700
}

[DELETE] - Delete an existing Metric

The client should be able to delete an existing Metric. As a result, the Accounting System API has to offer an operation deleting the Metric that the client wants. Subsequently, the registered Metric can be deleted by executing the following request:

DELETE /accounting-system/installations/{installation_id}/metrics/{metric_id}

Authorization: Bearer {token}

Upon the successful deletion, the API will return the following informative response:

Success Response 200 OK

{
   "code": 200,
   "message: "The Metric has been deleted successfully." 
}

[PATCH] - Update an existing Metric

The following endpoint is used to update the values of an existing Metric:

PATCH /accounting-system/installations/{installation_id}/metrics/{id}

Content-type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {token}

{
   "time_period_start": "time_period_start_to_be_updated",
   "time_period_end": "time_period_end_to_be_updated",
   "value": value_to_be_updated
}

In order to update the resource properties, the body of the request must contain an updated representation of Metric. You can update a part or all attributes of the Metric. The empty or null values are ignored. The response will be the updated entity :

Success Response 200 OK

{
   "updated_entity"
}

[GET] - Fetch an existing Metric

Having the id of a Metric, the client can request the relevant to that id Metric by executing the following request:

GET /accounting-system/installations/{installation_id}/metrics/{metric_id}

Authorization: Bearer {token}

The response is as follows:

Success Response 200 OK

{    
"metric_id": "72983kea0h41a20c683e3589",
"metric_definition_id": "62973fea0f41a20c683e9014", 
"time_period_start": "2020-12-20T09:13:07Z", 
"time_period_end": "2020-12-25T11:14:07Z",   
"value": 55
}

[POST] - Search for Metrics

You can search on Metrics, to find the ones corresponding to the given search criteria. Metrics can be searched by executing the following request:

POST accounting-system/metrics/search
Content-Type: application/json

Example 1:

{
  "type": "query",
  "field": "time_period_start",
  "values": "2022-01-05T09:13:07Z",
  "operand": "gte"
}

Example 2:

{
  "type": "filter",
  "operator": "OR",
  "criteria": [
    {
      "type": "query",
      "field": "value",
      "values": 60,
      "operand": lt
    },
    {
      "type": "filter",
      "operator": "AND",
      "criteria": [
        {
          "type": "query",
          "field": "time_period_start",
          "values": "2019-01-05T09:13:07Z",
          "operand": "gte"
        },
        {
          "type": "query",
          "field": "time_period_end",
          "values": "2023-10-05T09:15:07Z",
          "operand": "lt"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

The context of the request should be a json object. The syntax of the json object , is described here If the operation is successful, you get a list of metrics, for example:

{
    "size_of_page": 3,
    "number_of_page": 1,
    "total_elements": 3,
    "total_pages": 1,
