The Usage Metering Collector installation creates the following directories:
  • /opt/Avaya/usage-metering/
  • /var/lib/pgsql/
Note:
To comply with Data Privacy regulations, Avaya recommends you to do the following before installing the Usage Metering Collector:
  • Encrypt the disk partition that will contain the /opt/Avaya/usage-metering/ and /var/lib/pgsql/ directories.
Important:
Ensure that you remember the encryption passphrase. If you make a note of the encryption passphrase, ensure that you store it at a secure location.
If you forget the encryption passphrase, you cannot access the files and data located on the encrypted disk partition. If you forget the encryption passphrase, you must re-deploy the operating system, perform a new installation of the Usage Metering Collector, and restore the Usage Metering data by using the Usage Metering backup file.
