Example 1: Creating a Simple Charge Algorithm

The following panel shows how to define a simple charge algorithm called DISK-IO-CHARGE using the basic chargeback algorithm:

Simple    Simple  Charge
Unit    * Rate  = Element

DISK-IO * .50  = DISK-IO-CHARGE

As you can see from the panel above, we created a Charge Element named DISK-IO-CHARGE. The DISK-IO-CHARGE is calculated by multiplying the value of the charge unit, DISK-IO by the default rate, .50.
