   Figure 2 Bucket usage statistics
   

   Table 2 Bucket usage metrics

   Parameter	Description
   Storage	Measures the storage occupied by all objects, Standard objects, Infrequent Access objects, and Archive objects in the bucket.
   Traffic	Total Download Traffic: It measures the total download traffic for the bucket in the current month. Both intranet and Internet traffic are covered.
   	Download Traffic (Intranet): It measures the total intranet download traffic for the bucket in the current month.
   	Download Traffic (Internet): It measures the total Internet download traffic for the bucket in the current month.
   	Total Upload Traffic: It measures the total upload traffic for the bucket in the current month. Both intranet and Internet traffic are covered.
   	Upload Traffic (Intranet): It measures the total intranet upload traffic for the bucket in the current month.
   	Upload Traffic (Internet): It measures the total Internet upload traffic for the bucket in the current month.
   Requests	Total: It measures the total number of requests (including PUT, POST, COPY, LIST, GET, HEAD, and DELETE requests) made for the bucket and the objects in it in the current month.
   	GET: It measures the total number of GET and HEAD requests made for the bucket and the objects in it in the current month.
   	PUT: It measures the total number of PUT, POST, COPY, and LIST requests made for the bucket and the objects in it in the current month.
   	DELETE: It measures the total number of DELETE requests made for the bucket and the objects in it in the current month.
   Month-over-month growth	It compares the current month's data with the previous month's data, showing the data increase or decrease. Take the comparison between January 2023 and February 2023 as an example. Month-over-month (MoM) growth = (Current month's data – Previous month's data)/Previous month's data x 100% Suppose the Standard storage in January was 60 MB and that in February was 120 MB, the MoM growth was calculated as follows: (120 – 60) ÷ 60 x 100% = 100%. This tells that the standard storage in February was doubled compared to January.

   

   The data is not displayed in real time. There may be approximately one hour delay.
