Home > Storage > ObjectScale and ECS > Product Documentation > ECS Management REST API: Postman Collection > ECS Capacity Commands
There are several capacity commands in the Metering section. These commands return the same results as the ECS GUI display in the Monitor > Metering section.
Those with a GET will return the metrics for individual Namespaces and/or Buckets, while those with a POST require a Payload file that includes a list of Namespaces and/or Buckets to return the query results.
Running the first command in the Metering section provides the capacity for one Bucket specifying the Namespace and Bucket in the command’s variables. The results of the command are shown below. You can also Save the Response results to an XML file for later manipulation of the data or for pulling it into other systems.
To view the results more easily, after saving the response to an XML file, you can import and convert it using Excel, as in the following steps.
Launch Excel, and select Open. Browse to the location of the XML file, then select and click Open.
Excel automatically recognizes the XML structure and asks how you would like to open the file. Select As an XML Table.
The results are then displayed, but no Column headings are present.
You can manually create Column headings based on the XML field structure:
The remaining commands can be submitted using the same steps. Remember that for any POST commands you will need to modify the associated Payload file (XML) with the correct parameters, Namespace, and/or Bucket Names in this case.
