Package and send the usage reports

After the end of each month, you need to package the usage reports and send them to your Veritone representative.

Before you begin

• You need a root user account.
• If /usr/local/bin is not in your $PATH, you can add it for convenience. That is where aiWARE installs the usage-monitoring script.

Steps

1. To package the previous month's data, run the following command:

   aiware-usage.sh package

   This compresses the reports into a package file where the script is located. This is the file that you need to send to Veritone.

   [Note] To package an older monthly package file, run the command with the yyyy-mm parameter:

   aiware-usage.sh package 2022-03

2. Email the package file to your Veritone representative.

   [Tip] Usage reports are fairly small (especially after being compressed), so you do not need to delete them to save space. However, if you want to delete all reports older than 6 months, you can use the optional step.

3. Optional: Delete data older than 6 months with the following command:

   aiware-usage.sh prune

• For a list of the arguments that can be passed to the usage-monitoring script, see aiware-usage.sh arguments.
