Abstract
Systems and methods are presented for processing and auditing data records using a stream based data processing system. Data output by data center computers may be collected and used to generate data records that include values for metrics related to computer resource consumption. These data records may be inserted into a stream which can include auditors and various other processors. The auditors may determine whether any of the data records include discrepancies. A gating processor can determine which processors, if any, to provide data records that include discrepancies. Further, an amendment processor can be used to resolve discrepancies detected by the auditors. In addition, a billing processor can be used to generate bills that identify the discrepancies and include information relating to the cause and actions taken in response to the discrepancies detected in the data records.
