Subledger instance accountant Ruby gem

Installation:

gem install instance_accountant

Gemfile:

gem 'instance_accountant'

The gem provides an executable that can be invoked two ways:

If you want to account for the hourly cost of instances, use this form:

instance_accountant account                                          \
  --description       'instance usage for: %s'                       \
  --reference         'http://test.com/journal_entry'                \
  --cost              0.1                                            \
  --cost_description  'cost for: %s'                                 \
  --cost_reference    'http://test.com/cost'                         \
  --expense_acct      subledger_account_id                           \
  --payable_acct      subledger_account_id                           \
  --key_id            subledger_key_id                               \
  --secret            subledger_secret                               \
  --org_id            subledger_org_id                               \
  --book_id           subledger_book_id                              \
  --daemon

If you want to account for both the hourly cost of instances, and hourly income instances, use this form:

instance_accountant account                                          \
  --description       'instance usage for: %s'                       \
  --reference         'http://test.com/journal_entry'                \
  --cost              0.1                                            \
  --cost_description  'cost for: %s'                                 \
  --cost_reference    'http://test.com/cost'                         \
  --expense_acct      subledger_account_id                           \
  --payable_acct      subledger_account_id                           \
  --price             0.2                                            \
  --price_description 'price for: %s'                                \
  --price_reference   'http://test.com/price'                        \
  --receivable_acct   subledger_account_id                           \
  --income_acct       subledger_account_id                           \
  --key_id            subledger_key_id                               \
  --secret            subledger_secret                               \
  --org_id            subledger_org_id                               \
  --book_id           subledger_book_id                              \
  --daemon
