Cost efficiency tracking for configuration management database

A computer-implemented method for resource usage tracking, the method comprising:

• receiving a request to assign a first role to at least one virtual server;
• configuring the virtual server to associate the first role with a first resource of the virtual server;
• modifying a database to include an identifier associated with the virtual server and an identifier of the first role assigned to the virtual server;
• receiving, from the virtual server, indications of first resource usage;
• calculating a first resource cost as a combination of costs associated with each of the received indications;
• mapping the first resource cost to the first role;
• modifying a user interface element for presentation on a web page to include the cost mapped to the first role;
• receiving, from the virtual server, indications of an ongoing second resource usage;
• determining that the second resource is not associated with any role;
• and
• terminating access to the second resource.

A computer-implemented system for resource usage tracking, the system comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
• receive a processing resource request from a first client;
• associate the request with a first role;
• determine a virtual server capable of providing the resource;
• configure the virtual server to associate the first role with a first resource of the virtual server;
• modify a database to include an identifier associated with the virtual server and an identifier of the first role assigned to the virtual server;
• receive, from the virtual server, a duration of processing provided in response to the request and a cost per unit time associated with the virtual server;
• calculate a first resource cost as a product of the duration and cost per unit time;
• map the first resource cost to the first role;
• modify a user interface element for presentation on a web page to include the cost mapped to the first role;
• modify a user interface element for presentation on a web page to include the cost mapped to the first client;
• receive, from the virtual server, indications of an ongoing second resource usage;
• determine that the second resource is not associated with any role;
• and
• terminate access to the second resource.
