Chapter 5. Usage Monitoring

Using the SkkyHub Portal you can monitor your DataHub service usage and billing charges by point counts, updates, connection time, and other factors. Usage data is updated hourly, and usage charges are submitted to Microsoft hourly.

Usage

  1. Go to portal.skkynet.com

  2. Log in using the Organization ID and User Name from the email you received from Skkynet, and the Password that goes with them.

  3. In the Reporting drop-down list, choose Usage.

    This displays a page showing various charts.

    [Note]

    The statistics are updated every hour on the hour. You will not see any data until at least one update.

    For each chart you can configure these parameters:

    Selected Period

    Choose a time range of Hour, Day, Week, Month, Quarter, or Year.

    Trend / Previous / Current

    Choose how to display your usage: as a trend, or as a pie chart for the previous or current period.

    Show Table / Show Chart

    Toggle between a table or chart display.
