VOSS Automate provides the means to collect the audit data to track VOSS license usage in the system each month. This is required to ensure the billing is aligned with the license usage in the system according to our contract.

A schedule is configured to audit and store the data daily at 2AM UTC, and then to save the output to the platform filesystem at 2AM UTC on the first day of the month.

This license audit data can be viewed on the portal from the Voss License Audit Summary menu.

The platform CLI also has commands to run the data audit and export manually. For details, refer to the Licensing and Subscriber Data Export Guide.

System administrators with the required permissions (default is sysadmin) have the option from the Licensing menu to configure the delivery of the audit data by means of one or more of the following delivery methods and combine them into one or more File Transfer Destinations. These destinations can then be used to transfer the audit data.

Workflow steps:

  1. Set up one or more delivery method destinations listed above.
