Formula are used to modify the units obtained from the raw usage data of resources before computing the price for the resource. There are two types of formula ‘Unit Formula’ and ‘Custom Formula’.
Unit Formula
It multiplies the units obtained from raw usage with the formula specified.
It supports math expressions and operators such as ‘*’ and ‘/’.
Operators should have space between them.
Operations are executed from Left to Right.
Brackets are not supported.
Example:
Raw Usage -Units
Unit Formula
Billable Units
(Raw Usage Units * Unit Formula)
RAM – 1024 MB

1024 MB
Custom Formula
It computes the units based on the formula specified.
It supports math expressions and operators such as ‘*’, ‘/’, ‘+’ and ‘-’.
Operators should have a space around them.
Operations are executed as per Mathematical precedence.
Brackets are supported, but spaces are to be given around them.
Example:
Raw Usage - Units
Custom Formula
Billable Units
RAM – 1024 MB
RAM / 1024

Resource condition is given to set different prices for the same metered resource based on the volume of raw usage units. This can be done by cloning a configured metered resource and setting a new monthly unit price for it.
Example:
