# Usage overview

The Usage Overview lets you review usage information by ingestion events and monthly storage volume.

You can view your usage information by Measured values or Billing units (VAUs) for the last 12 months or for a given calendar year. Measured values reflect the size on disc. VAUs are Voltage Authorization Units and reflect the number of licensed units used by ingestion events or the monthly storage volume.

The following usage information is presented.

- Ingestion. Usage information based on the volume of data processed at the time of an initial scan of a source or an incremental dataset processing activity.

  - Metadata-only. File or email metadata was scanned as part of metadata, analyzed (full or SmartScan) processing.

  - Analyzed. File or email content was scanned as part of metadata, analyzed (full or SmartScan) processing.

  - Source Cloud. Any cloud cluster scan as part of metadata, analyzed (full or SmartScan) processing.

  - Structured Data. Tables scanned as part of analyzed (full or SmartScan) processing.

- Storage. Monthly usage information based on the volume of unstructured source data stored in the index.

  - Content. File or email content and metadata stored in index through full scan ingestion or analyzed through a workbook action.
