Installing the Usage Server (Optional)
You can optionally install the Usage Server once the Management Server is configured properly. The
Usage Server takes data from the events in the system and enables usage-based billing for accounts.
When multiple Management Servers are present, the Usage Server may be installed on any number
of them. The Usage Servers will coordinate usage processing. A site that is concerned about
availability should install Usage Servers on at least two Management Servers.
8.1. Requirements for Installing the Usage Server
• The Management Server must be running when the Usage Server is installed.
• The Usage Server must be installed on the same server as a Management Server.
8.2. Steps to Install the Usage Server
1. Run ./install.sh.
# ./install.sh
You should see a few messages as the installer prepares, followed by a list of choices.
2. Choose "S" to install the Usage Server.

3. Once installed, start the Usage Server with the following command.
