Why Is My Data on the OBS Bucket Overview Page Inconsistent?

Background

OBS statistics on the Overview page of a bucket are inconsistent. Do as follows to go to the overview page:

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and choose Storage > Object Storage Service.
3. In the navigation pane of OBS Console, choose Object Storage.
4. In the bucket list, click the bucket you want to operate. The Objects page is displayed.
5. In the navigation pane, choose Overview.

On the Overview page of a bucket, you can view the usage of resources in the bucket, including the storage, traffic, and requests. There may be data inconsistency. The details are described as follows:

Data Inconsistency Description

The total storage is not equal to the sum of the Standard storage, Infrequent Access storage, and Archive storage. The possible causes are as follows:

• Inconsistent data sources: The total storage is provided by OBS in real time. The storage of Standard, Infrequent Access, or Archive is provided by Cloud Eye.
• Total storage ≤ Sum of the Standard storage, Infrequent Access storage, and Archive storage
  • When the total storage is obtained, the storage of some buckets may fail to be obtained.
  • Your account has granted you (an IAM user) the permissions for an enterprise project. Then, what you see is the total storage of only some buckets (the buckets you have permissions for). However, the storage of Standard, Infrequent Access, or Archive covers all buckets in your account.
  • There may be SFS 3.0 buckets in your account. The total storage does not cover this type of buckets, but the storage of Standard, Infrequent Access, and Archive does.
• Total storage ≥ Sum of the Standard storage, Infrequent Access storage, and Archive storage
  • Some data is not reported by OBS to Cloud Eye.

The number of GET or PUT requests on the Overview page is different from that in the bill obtained from Billing Center. The possible causes are as follows:

• On the Overview page, POST or HEAD requests are not counted. However, Billing Center takes POST requests as PUT requests and HEAD requests as GET requests.
• LIST requests are taken as GET requests on the OBS Overview page, but as PUT requests in Billing Center.

The total number of requests is not equal to the sum of GET, PUT, and DELETE requests. The possible causes are as follows:

In addition to GET, PUT, and DELETE requests, the total number of requests covers that of other types of requests such as POST and HEAD.
