Method and system for resource counter tracking

A network device comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• receive from a virtualized device, resource information pertaining to the virtualized device, wherein the resource information includes hardware usage, which includes a processor, a memory, a storage, and a communication interface usage of the virtualized device, and at least one quality of service metric pertaining to the virtualized device including at least one of latency or application availability, wherein the network device is a Fifth Generation (5G) charging function of a core network;
• generate a resource value for each resource of the resource information;
• generate event information for each resource value;
• and
• store the event information.
