1. A method, comprising:

  • communicating, by a usage metering manager executing on a hardware processor, a batch creation frequency condition to distributed network metering services;

    detecting, by the usage metering manager, the batch creation frequency condition that indicates batch sets of statistics and raw statistics from which the batch sets of statistics are derived are received from the distributed network metering services, wherein detecting further includes maintaining the raw statistics as an operational audit record for recovery processing when a metering statistic data store becomes compromised;

    aggregating, by the usage metering manager, the batch sets of statistics returned by the distributed network metering service responsive to the detecting of the batch creation frequency condition as aggregated statistics;

    populating, by the usage metering manager the aggregated statistics into the metering statistic data store;

    sending an alert for processing by a service based on the aggregated statistics; and

    performing a recovery process using the raw statistics as the operational audit record when the metering statistic data store fails or is compromised.
