Are you able to provide a code snippet? Might help, but also understand if you can not. My team has dozens of python scripts for operational use, reporting etc, on a number of clouds. We haven't observed any limits. Our scripts are using the "admin-rc" so assuming the user account you run the script as is scoped, it shouldn't have any issues.

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. But in fact I am using the /os-simple-tenant-usage API as an admin so I'd really expected it to list all projects/tenants like Horizon does... I'm surely missing something but not clear what...

so the openstack client is calling the nova simple tenant usage api
https://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/latest/cli/command-objects... maps to
https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/#show-usage-statistics-for-tenant
the openstack client does not have a --all-tenants flag or simplar to call
https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/#list-tenant-usage-statistics-for...
so the difference is the openstack client uses /os-simple-tenant-usage/{tenant_id} which is aviabel to anyone with the member or reader role in a given project
the all tenats version is /os-simple-tenant-usage and that endpoint is admin only.
osc has only ever support the tenant specific version so if you wantted to supprot the admin version you would need to modify osc to add a --all-tenant option to the cli.
horizon presumably support the multi tenant view as an admin usign the /os-simple-tenant-usage endpoint.

Hi,
I've been struggling today to understand the problem. I wrote a (Python) script that uses directly the API instead of going through the "openstack usage list". I had some hope of something related to the limit parameter but unfortunately it is not the case and the result using the API is the same as using the openstack client. Only horizon returns all the information.
Does somebody has any clue about what is done differently by Horizon compared to the openstack client (I assume it is using the API rather than the client)?
Any input would be very much appreciated as going month by month (we need a month-level detail) through the dashboard is not very sustainable and potentially very error prone...
Best regards,
Michel

Hi,
We are using "openstack usage list" to follow resource usage by projects at our cloud. We recently discovered that ~1/3 of the resource consumed (mostly "big projects") are missing from the JSON/CSV produced where the Admin Overview menu in the Horizon dashboard displays everything. Is there a trivial reason for this?
We tried both with a pretty old openstackclient (5.8) and the last one after applying the patch in
https://github.com/openstack/python-openstackclient/commit/30462f57d48162d15...
to fix the problem with date conversion. The result is the same.
Thank you in advance for any help. Cheers,
Michel
