How to Check Storage Account Usage in the Management Console
View current and historical storage usage per account using the ICMC partner portal
Overview
The Impossible Cloud Management Console (ICMC) supports two types of partner accounts: Distributor and Channel Partner. This article covers the Channel Partner view, where partners manage their end customers' storage accounts.
The Impossible Cloud Management Console (ICMC) at partner.impossiblecloud.com provides a built-in usage view where partners can monitor storage consumption across all their storage accounts. This article explains how to read usage data, filter by date range, and export the results.
To check usage programmatically via the Partner API instead, see How to Check Storage Account Usage via the Partner API.
Required permissions
Any team member role (Admin, Staff, or Viewer) can view the usage data on the Storage accounts page. The table below shows the differences between roles.
| Capability | Admin | Staff | Viewer |
|---|---|---|---|
| View storage account usage | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Export usage to CSV | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Open account details | Yes | Yes | No |
| Create storage accounts | Yes | Yes | No |
| Manage team members | Yes | No | No |
If you need a team member with read-only access to usage data, the Viewer role is sufficient.
Open the Storage accounts page
- Go to partner.impossiblecloud.com and log in with your registered email and password.
- The Storage accounts page loads as the default view after login. If you are on a different page, select Storage accounts in the left sidebar.
The page displays four summary cards at the top:
| Card | Description |
|---|---|
| Allocated capacity | The total capacity allocated to your partner account, or "Pay per use" if no fixed allocation is set. |
| Storage Utilization | The percentage of allocated capacity currently used. |
| Average storage used | The average storage consumed across all accounts in the selected date range. |
| Storage accounts | The total number of storage accounts under your partner. |
Below the summary cards, a table lists every storage account with its usage in the selected date range. Each row represents one account, and the columns include the account name, email, usage value, allocated storage, and status.
Set the date range
The date filter controls which time period the usage data covers. Two date fields appear above the table: Start date and End date, both in YYYY-MM-DD format.
To check current usage (today only): Type today's date in both the Start date and End date fields. The table refreshes to show each account's storage consumption for the current day.
Quick-select buttons are available to the right of the date fields:
| Button | Date range |
|---|---|
| This month | From the 1st of the current month to today. |
| Last month | The full previous calendar month. |
| This year | From January 1st of the current year to today. |
To clear the date filter and return to the default range (rolling 28 days), click the x button next to the date fields.
Choose a view mode and understand billing usage
Three radio buttons above the table control how usage values are calculated:
| Mode | Column header | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Average usage (default) | Average storage usage in timeframe | The mean daily usage across the selected date range. Useful for trend analysis over longer periods. |
| Max usage | Max storage usage in timeframe | The highest single-day usage within the date range. This is the billing-relevant value when reviewing a full billing period. |
| Daily usage | Daily storage usage | The usage for the most recent day in the selected range. This reflects the current storage footprint. |
Note: To check the current billable usage for a storage account, set both the Start date and End date to today's date. In this single-day view, Daily usage and Max usage display the same value, which represents the actual storage consumption used for billing. The Average usage mode also shows the same number for a single day, but becomes lower over multi-day ranges because it averages across all days.
Read the usage table
Each row in the table represents one storage account. The columns are:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Company | The display name of the storage account. |
| The contact email associated with the account. | |
| Usage (header varies by view mode) | Storage consumption in the selected timeframe, displayed in the appropriate unit (Bytes, KB, MB, GB, TB). |
| Allocated Storage | The capacity allocated to this account, or "Pay per use". |
| Status | Account status: "OK" for active accounts, or "To be deleted on [date]" for accounts scheduled for deletion. |
You can sort the table by clicking the Email column header. The Status column includes a filter icon that lets you narrow results to accounts with a specific status, such as active or pending deletion.
Export usage data to CSV
Click the Export CSV button in the toolbar above the table to download a spreadsheet of the usage data. The exported file contains the same data visible in the table, filtered by the currently selected date range and view mode.
Usage data sync timing
Storage usage data is updated in a regular cycle, so a slight delay in the latest usage value is expected. If you uploaded data to a storage account recently, the current usage values will be updated when the next sync cycle completes.
To check usage more frequently or to integrate usage monitoring into your own systems, use the Partner API. See How to Check Storage Account Usage via the Partner API.
