How to Set up a Pricing Model
How to Set up a Pricing Model
In this sample we create a billing model with the following parameters:
· Monthly base fee: $30
· Volume of 100 GB included
· $2,50 per GB for volume exceeding 100 GB
First you need to create a new pricing model. Click on New:
In the Calendar Based Fees section enter the monthly base fee of $30 in the Base Fee field and set your desired currency string.
Since we do not want percentile based billing we enter an amount of 0 in the Percentile Based Fees section.
In the Volume Based Fees section we need to make the following changes: To charge 2,50 per GB we need to enter 2,50 for the Amount of the unlimited setting and we need to choose per gigabyte:
To make the first 100GB free we click create a new item by clicking New and entering a name for the new item:
For this new item we change the Up To value to the value of 100 GB and enter the value of 0 for the Amount:
That’s all. Now you must edit all sensors and choose this pricing model billing on the Billing tab of the edit sensor dialog.
If all these steps are done you can create new reports and they will contain the billing data when you enable billing for a report.
