Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
This release adds pagination support to avoid resource-consuming usage requests on systems with a large number of instances. The v2.40 microversion of the nova API simple-tenant-usage endpoints use new optional query parameters 'limit' and 'marker' for pagination. The 'marker' option sets the starting point and the 'limit' option sets the number of records to be displayed after the starting point. If 'limit' is not set, nova will use the configurable 'max_limit' (1000 by default). Although older microversions will not accept these new query parameters, they will start to enforce the max_limit and results may be truncated as a result. Consider using the new microversion to avoid DoS-like usage requests and potentially truncated responses.

Description Eoghan Glynn 2016-07-05 13:39:03 UTC 
The simple tenant usage API can return extremely large amounts of data and provides no way to paginate the results. Because the API does not use the pagination code, it doesn't even respect the "max results" sanity limit. Because it can query a ton of data, it also causes the api workers to inflate their memory footprint to the size of the DB result set, which is large. Since horizon queries this by default, most users are affected unless their ops team is extremely diligent about purging deleted instances (which are returned by the API by design).

Hey Lukas,

You're correct. The `marker` is the last instance UUID in the `server_usages` list from the previous page.
