Kamatera

Kamatera is a cloud services provider (part of OMC Computers) offering virtual private servers and related infrastructure.

This Kamatera application collects VPS metrics, including their monthly costs, as well as the monthly costs of all tenant items.

Options

  • Name*: Just a simple label to find it easier in the SenHub's interface
  • Description: Description for your own usage only.
  • Vault*: Choose in the list box the appropriate vault for this resource. If you have not created it yet, see how to add a vault.
  • Group: optional — assign this instance to a group to organise it within SenHub.
  • Resource Types*: Here you can choose the type of resource to pull metrics for, each with more fields to fill:
    • Server — Returns important metrics about a Virtual Private Server of your choice.
      • Service Name: That is the name of your resource in your Kamatera environment, here paste the exact name of your VPS.
    • Billing — Returns metrics regarding the cost of your Kamatera cloud resources, narrowed to a category of your choice.
      • Usage: Select the category whose information you want to retrieve — Summary, Server or Network*.

Example output

The channels returned depend on the selected resource type. In Server mode, the connector returns the snapshot count, the server's current-month cost, and its live CPU, RAM, network and disk statistics (channels are generated dynamically, one set per CPU core, NIC and disk):

{
  "metrics": [
    { "channel": "Snapshots", "value": 3, "unit": "#" },
    { "channel": "Curr Month TCO", "value": 42.50, "unit": "USD" },
    { "channel": "CPU Average", "value": 12, "unit": "%" },
    { "channel": "RAM Usage", "value": 2048, "unit": "MB" },
    { "channel": "NIC #1 Receive", "value": 8, "unit": "Mb/s" },
    { "channel": "NIC #1 Transmit", "value": 3, "unit": "Mb/s" },
    { "channel": "Disk #1 Read", "value": 15, "unit": "cmd/s" },
    { "channel": "Disk #1 Write", "value": 22, "unit": "cmd/s" },
    { "channel": "Disk #1 Read MB", "value": 1, "unit": "MB/s" },
    { "channel": "Disk #1 Write MB", "value": 2, "unit": "MB/s" }
  ],
  "message": "Metrics successfully retrieved.",
  "status": "OK",
  "date": 1725981405127
}

In Billing mode, the connector returns the current-month cost (in USD) broken down dynamically — by service type (Summary), by service type for one server (Server), or by datacenter (Network usage). Channel names come straight from your Kamatera bill, so they vary by tenant:

{
  "metrics": [
    { "channel": "server", "value": 128.40, "unit": "USD" },
    { "channel": "network", "value": 12.75, "unit": "USD" },
    { "channel": "snapshot", "value": 4.20, "unit": "USD" }
  ],
  "message": "Metrics successfully retrieved.",
  "status": "OK",
  "date": 1725981405127
}
