Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with chargeback systems are described. In one embodiment, a chargeback application includes instructions for reading a data structure that defines at least attributes that identify a resource type and resource items of the resource type, and chargeback rules for calculating a cost for usage of the resource items. The data structure is parsed to identify the attributes and the chargeback rules. Chargeback functions of the chargeback application are configured based on at least in part the identified attributes and the chargeback functions are caused to retrieve metered data related to usage of the resource items in a computing system. The chargeback application translates the retrieved metered data in accordance with the chargeback rules to generate a usage cost for the resource items.
