Internal Report Schedules

The system runs an internal schedule to generate monthly license reports. For details on license reports and how to generate these manually, refer to the Licensing Guide.

This internal schedule cannot be disabled. The schedule is configured to run at 3AM UTC on the first day of the month. The date cannot be changed, but the time can. Please contact your VOSS account manager if a schedule time change is required.

After the monthly schedule is run, a check is carried out for the generated report. If the report was generated successfully, no messages are sent and no notifications are generated. If the report was not generated successfully, a message shows on the CLI console when logging in or when typing the health command:

LICENSE REPORT: FAILED - Please run 'voss export type license_initial_audit'

This message will continue to show until the report is generated successfully by running the command shown in the message.

An e-mail notification is also sent after the check fails:

ERROR: License file generation failed
The license audit report scheduled for <month> <year> was not successful.
Please contact your VOSS account manager.

An example SNMP trap that is generated when the report fails to run is show below - <month> <year> are variables in the example:
