Hi,
I'm looking for a simple way to get some usage data out of my nova
diablo installation.
I need to know which tenant or user had how much instances running and
for how long. Exactly the value you have in the dashboard, I guess
it's called cpu hours.
To setup a basic accounting I need to get this values over the api, to
put them into a seperated database.

How can I access these informations through the api?

Cheers,
Christian
