Metrics

Object Storage surfaces usage metrics at two levels — at the organization level on the main Object Storage page, and per bucket on the bucket’s Metrics tab.

Organization-level metrics

Open Object Storage in the portal sidebar. The usage panel at the top of the page shows totals across all buckets in the organization:

MetricDescription
BucketsTotal number of buckets in the organization
ObjectsTotal objects stored across all buckets
Storage UsedTotal storage consumed (B / MB / GB)
Bandwidth EgressOutbound data transfer for the billing period

The bucket list below shows the per-bucket breakdown:

ColumnDescription
BUCKETBucket name
SIZETotal storage used by that bucket
CREATEDCreation date

Per-bucket metrics

Open a bucket and click the Metrics tab to see bucket-scoped charts and values for storage usage and request activity over time, including:

  • Class A operations — PUT, POST, LIST, and DELETE requests.
  • Class B operations — GET and HEAD requests.

The General tab also shows two read-only fields:

FieldDescription
Total ObjectsObject count for the bucket
Storage UsedTotal storage used by the bucket

What to watch

  • Sudden growth in Storage Used — typically an upload bug, a runaway log job, or versioning without lifecycle. Pair the bucket with a Lifecycle rule.
  • Bandwidth Egress exceeding plan — front the bucket with the CDN for cacheable content, or check whether a public bucket is being scraped.
  • Object count growing faster than data size — a process is creating many small objects; consider batching or compressing.
  • High Class A operation counts — frequent write operations can indicate a misconfigured upload pipeline. Review application logic for unnecessary PUT/DELETE cycles.
