You must perform a new installation of the Usage Metering server and restore the Usage Metering data by using the Usage Metering backup file in the following scenarios:
  • You accidentally delete the Usage Metering server or the Usage Metering server stops responding.
  • The Usage Metering system gets corrupted.
  • You upgrade RHEL 7.x to 8.x and want to restore Usage Metering from RHEL 7.x on 8.x.
Ensure that you do not run two instances of Usage Metering at the same time.
The new or replaced Usage Metering retroactively collects the missing usage data for the period in which it was not working. This is to a maximum of 60 previous days.
For scenarios in which Usage Metering does not collect usage data, see Data collection failure and recovery.
Ensure that you install a new Usage Metering first, and then restore a Usage Metering backup file.
