## Introduction
## Introduction
We would like for all ACTRIS DC units to provide their data provision and access statistics through an API. DVAS will fetch the metrics and dislpay the information in the DVAS portal. The information is to be used for reporting to Head Office and ACTRIS DC Management Board.
The goal is to be able to provide coherent statistics from the data centre. In order to do this the ACTRIS DC Management Board would like for all ACTRIS DC units to provide their data provision and access statistics through an API and centralize the compilation of statistics at DVAS. DVAS will fetch the metrics and dislpay the information in the DVAS portal. The information is to be used for reporting to Head Office and ACTRIS DC Management Board.
