Quota Management

The quota management API allows team admins to view and distribute quota across teams they manage. Team admins occasionally need to distribute quota across teams they manage. The reasons may vary but they commonly include:

1. Short term re-allocation due to an unexpected spike in logs shipping to team-1 while there is under-utilised quota in team-2.
2. Re-allocation after reviewing the capacity requirements of your teams. 

This tutorial will guide you on how to manage quota for teams under your account.

Getting started

1. Install the latest version of the Coralogix CLI
2. Teams API key (Fetch this from Account -> Settings -> API access)
3. Team id (Fetch this from Account -> Settings -> send your logs)
4. User must have admin role (when moving quota should be admin in both teams)

Constraints

1. Minimum quota that can be transferred is 0.001 GB
2. Quota cannot be moved to a trial account. If needed please contact Coralogix support for help.
3. Quota can only be moved between teams with the same retention period.
4. Quota cannot be transferred from a team if the remaining daily quota is less than the quota being moved. In this case, transfer will be possible once the daily quota resets at 00:00 UTC
5. You need to be admin on the teams you are trying to move quota between.
