# Metrics

> Monitor bucket usage, object counts, storage operations, and bandwidth from the IBEE Solutions portal — both at the organization level and per bucket.

Object Storage surfaces usage metrics at two levels — at the organization level on the main Object Storage page, and per bucket on the bucket's **Metrics** tab.

## Organization-level metrics

Open **Object Storage** in the portal sidebar. The usage panel at the top of the page shows totals across all buckets in the organization:

| Metric               | Description                                   |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **Buckets**          | Total number of buckets in the organization   |
| **Objects**          | Total objects stored across all buckets       |
| **Storage Used**     | Total storage consumed (B / MB / GB)          |
| **Bandwidth Egress** | Outbound data transfer for the billing period |

The bucket list below shows the per-bucket breakdown:

| Column  | Description                       |
| ------- | --------------------------------- |
| BUCKET  | Bucket name                       |
| SIZE    | Total storage used by that bucket |
| CREATED | Creation date                     |

## Per-bucket metrics

Open a bucket and click the **Metrics** tab to see bucket-scoped charts and values for storage usage and request activity over time, including:

* **Class A operations** — PUT, POST, LIST, and DELETE requests.
* **Class B operations** — GET and HEAD requests.

The General tab also shows two read-only fields:

| Field         | Description                      |
| ------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Total Objects | Object count for the bucket      |
| Storage Used  | Total storage used by the bucket |

## What to watch

* **Sudden growth in Storage Used** — typically an upload bug, a runaway log job, or versioning without lifecycle. Pair the bucket with a [Lifecycle rule](/docs/infrastructure/object-storage/buckets/lifecycle-management).
* **Bandwidth Egress exceeding plan** — front the bucket with the [CDN](/docs/infrastructure/object-storage/cdn-integration) for cacheable content, or check whether a public bucket is being scraped.
* **Object count growing faster than data size** — a process is creating many small objects; consider batching or compressing.
* **High Class A operation counts** — frequent write operations can indicate a misconfigured upload pipeline. Review application logic for unnecessary PUT/DELETE cycles.
