This topic provides a list of variables supported in custom cost calculations. For general information on variables, see Add Data to Workflows With Variables.
If you need a variable that isn't documented, create a case through the Snow Support Portal, and if the variable is available, we'll provide you with the variable name. We'll also add it to the list of documented variables in the next release.
| Variable | Expression | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Instance Type | ||
| ECUs | target.instanceType.ecu | The number of EC2 Compute Units associated with the instance type. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for deployed services only (not for requests). Supported for Amazon EC2 only. |
| Memory | target.instanceType.memory.gb | The amount of memory associated with the instance type, in gigabytes. |
| Storage | target.instanceType.storage.gb | The amount of storage assigned to the instance type, in gigabytes. |
| vCPUs | target.instanceType.vcpu | The number of vCPUs assigned to the instance type. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for deployed services only (not for requests). |
| Resources - CPU | ||
| CPU Limit | target.cpuLimit.ghz | The maximum CPU allocation for the VM. Each unit represents a GHz. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for deployed services only (not for requests). Not supported for public cloud instances. |
| CPU Reservation | target.cpuReservation.ghz | The guaranteed CPU allocation for the VM, in GHz. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for deployed services only (not for requests). Not supported for public cloud instances. |
| CPU Shares | target.cpuShares | The CPU shares for a VM as part of a parent's total. Sibling virtual machines share resources according to their relative share values bounded by the reservation and limit. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for deployed services only (not for requests). Not supported for public cloud instances. |
| Total CPUs | target.cpuCount | The total number of CPUs of the deployed target. |
| Resources - Memory | ||
| Memory Limit | target.memLimit.gb | The maximum amount of the host's memory that the VM can use, in gigabytes. Can be -1 for unlimited. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for deployed services only (not for requests). Not supported for public cloud instances. |
| Memory Reservation | target.memReservation.gb | The amount of memory reserved for the VM, in gigabytes. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for deployed services only (not for requests). Not supported for public cloud instances. |
| Total Memory | target.memory.gb | The total amount of memory of the deployed target, in gigabytes. |
| Resources - Storage | ||
| Committed Storage Space | target.storage.spaceCommitted.gb | The space occupied by all VMDK files + Other Files in the VM's directory (even if they are unrelated to the VM), in gigabytes. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for deployed services only (not for requests). |
| Consumed Storage Space | target.storage.spaceConsumed.gb | The sum of all VM hard drives configured in vCenter (that is, all VMDK files) as reported by vCenter, in gigabytes. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for deployed services only (not for requests). |
| Container Storage Used | target.containerSpaceUsed.gb | The sum of all physical disks as reported by the guest OS, in gigabytes. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for deployed services only (not for requests). |
| Provisioned Storage | target.provisionedStorage.gb | The maximum storage available to the VM regardless of whether the storage is actually used by the VM, in gigabytes. Can be a value of 0 if data is unavailable. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for deployed services only (not for requests). |
| Scanned Storage Space | target.storage.spaceScanned.gb | The size of the VMDK file + log file + snapshots + swap files + all other VM files in folder, in gigabytes. Supported for pre-vCenter 4.0 systems. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for deployed services only (not for requests). |
| Storage Free Space | target.storage.spaceFree.gb | The amount of unused space on all logical disks as reported by the guest OS, in gigabytes. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for deployed services only (not for requests). For public cloud VMs, returns Unknown. |
| Storage Free Space Percentage | target.storage.spaceFreePercent | The amount of free disk space as a percentage of the total space, as reported by the guest OS. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for deployed services only (not for requests). For public cloud VMs, returns Unknown. |
| Storage Logical Size | target.storage.logicalSize.gb | The sum of all logical disks partitioned on the physical disks as reported by the guest OS, in gigabytes. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for deployed services only (not for requests). For public cloud VMs, returns Unknown. |
| Total Storage | target.storage.gb | The total of all storage of the deployed target, in gigabytes. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for both requests and deployed services. |
| Unallocated Storage Space | target.storage.spaceUnallocated.gb | The virtual disk size minus the physical disk size, in gigabytes. Only returns a value during the time interval between adding a new disk to a VM in vCenter and running the next Commander datastore scan. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for deployed services only (not for requests). |
| Unpartitioned Storage Space | target.storage.spaceUnpartitioned.gb | The physical disk size minus the logical disk size, in gigabytes. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for deployed services only (not for requests). |
| Target Custom Attributes | ||
| Custom Attribute | target.customAttribute['*'] | The value of the specified custom attribute for the deployed target. For custom cost calculations, this variable is supported for both requests and deployed services. |
