- Contrast with Compound Aggregations. Standard or simple Aggregations of this type, which apply an aggregation method directly to Meter usage data fields, are contrasted with Compound Aggregations. A Compound Aggregation typically references one or more simple Aggregations and applies a calculation to them to derive pricing metrics needed to serve more complex usage-based pricing scenarios.
- Segmented Aggregations. Segmented Aggregations allow you to segment the usage data collected by a single Meter. This capability is very useful for implementing some pricing and billing use cases. See Segmented Aggregations in our main documentation for more details.
Introduction
Endpoints for listing, creating, updating, retrieving, or deleting Aggregations.
An Aggregation links to a Meter and targets a Data Field or Derived Field on the Meter. You define the method of aggregation used to convert the usage data collected by the targeted Meter field into a numerical unit of measurement.
You can then use the unit of measurement an Aggregation yields as a metric for pricing Product Plans and apply usage-based pricing to your products and services. You might also want to aggregate raw data measures for other purposes, such as to feed into analytical or business performance tools.
