Quota usage and OpenStack object-store

Getting quota information

The OpenStack dashboard is capable of showing object-store usage, both in terms of bytes and number of objects, for each container under the “Project -> Object Store -> Containers” tab.

However, to date the dashboard seems to be lacking the integration required to show overall usage (namely, the sum over containers) and quota information.

These can be retrieved using the CLI, with the command:

$ swift stat | grep Bytes:

displaying an output similar to:

$ swift stat | grep Bytes:
                          Bytes: 410365371827
               Meta Quota-Bytes: 1000000000000
