Chapter 12. Usage reporting with metrics-utility

The Ansible Automation Platform metrics utility tool (metrics-utility) is a command-line utility that is installed on a system containing an instance of automation controller.

When installed and configured, metrics-utility gathers billing-related metrics from your system and creates a consumption-based billing report. The metrics-utility tool is especially suited for users who have multiple managed hosts and want to use consumption-based billing. After a report is generated, it is deposited in a target location that you specify in the configuration file.

metrics-utility collects two types of data from your system: configuration data and reporting data.

The configuration data includes the following information:

  • Version information for automation controller and for the operating system
  • Subscription information
  • The base URL

The reporting data includes the following information:

  • Job name and ID
  • Host name
  • Inventory name
  • Organization name
  • Project name
  • Success or failure information
  • Report date and time

To ensure that metrics-utility continues to work as configured, clear your report directories of outdated reports regularly.

12.1. Configuring metrics-utility
Link kopieren

Configure the metrics-utility to gather and report usage data for your Ansible Automation Platform, both on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenShift Container Platform.

12.1.1. Configuring metrics-utility on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Link kopieren

Prerequisites:

  • An active Ansible Automation Platform subscription

Metrics-utility is included with Ansible Automation Platform, so you do not need a separate installation. The following procedure gathers the relevant data and generate a CCSP report containing your usage metrics. You can configure these commands as cronjobs to ensure they run at the beginning of every month. See How to schedule jobs using the Linux 'cron' utility for more on configuring using the cron syntax.

Procedure

  1. Create two scripts in your user’s home directory to set correct variables to ensure that metrics-utility gathers all relevant data.

    1. In /home/my-user/cron-gather: 

      #!/bin/sh

# Specify the following variables to indicate where the report is deposited in your file system
export METRICS_UTILITY_SHIP_TARGET=directory
export METRICS_UTILITY_SHIP_PATH=/awx_devel/awx-dev/metrics-utility/shipped_data/billing

# Run the following command to gather and store the data in the provided SHIP_PATH directory:
metrics-utility gather_automation_controller_billing_data --ship --until=10m
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    2. In /home/my-user/cron-report: 

      #!/bin/sh

# Specify the following variables to indicate where the report is deposited in your file system
export METRICS_UTILITY_SHIP_TARGET=directory
export METRICS_UTILITY_SHIP_PATH=/awx_devel/awx-dev/metrics-utility/shipped_data/billing

# Set these variables to generate a report:
export METRICS_UTILITY_REPORT_TYPE=CCSPv2
export METRICS_UTILITY_PRICE_PER_NODE=11.55 # in USD
export METRICS_UTILITY_REPORT_SKU=MCT3752MO
export METRICS_UTILITY_REPORT_SKU_DESCRIPTION="EX: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Full Support (1 Managed Node, Dedicated, Monthly)"
export METRICS_UTILITY_REPORT_H1_HEADING="CCSP Reporting <Company>: ANSIBLE Consumption"
export METRICS_UTILITY_REPORT_COMPANY_NAME="Company Name"
export METRICS_UTILITY_REPORT_EMAIL="email@email.com"
export METRICS_UTILITY_REPORT_RHN_LOGIN="test_login"
export METRICS_UTILITY_REPORT_COMPANY_BUSINESS_LEADER="BUSINESS LEADER"
export METRICS_UTILITY_REPORT_COMPANY_PROCUREMENT_LEADER="PROCUREMENT LEADER"

# Build the report
metrics-utility build_report
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. To ensure that these files are executable, run:

    chmod a+x /home/my-user/cron-gather /home/my-user/cron-report

  3. To open the cron file for editing, run:

    crontab -e

  4. To configure the run schedule, add the following parameters to the end of the file and specify how often you want metrics-utility to gather information and build a report using cron syntax. In the following example, the gather command is configured to run every hour at 00 minutes. The build_report command is configured to run on the second day of each month at 4:00 AM.

    0 */1 * * * /home/my-user/cron-gather

    0 4 2 * * /home/my-user/cron-report

  5. Save and close the file.

  6. To verify that you saved your changes, run:

    crontab -l

  7. To ensure that data is being collected, run:

    cat /var/log/cron

    The following is a typical output. Note that time and date might vary depending on how your configure the run schedule: 

    May  8 09:45:03 ip-10-0-6-23 CROND[51623]: (root) CMDOUT (No billing data for month: 2024-04)
May  8 09:45:03 ip-10-0-6-23 CROND[51623]: (root) CMDEND (metrics-utility build_report)
May  8 09:45:19 ip-10-0-6-23 crontab[51619]: (root) END EDIT (root)
May  8 09:45:34 ip-10-0-6-23 crontab[51659]: (root) BEGIN EDIT (root)
May  8 09:46:01 ip-10-0-6-23 CROND[51688]: (root) CMD (metrics-utility gather_automation_controller_billing_data --ship --until=10m)
May  8 09:46:03 ip-10-0-6-23 CROND[51669]: (root) CMDOUT (/tmp/9e3f86ee-c92e-4b05-8217-72c496e6ffd9-2024-05-08-093402+0000-2024-05-08-093602+0000-0.tar.gz)
May  8 09:46:03 ip-10-0-6-23 CROND[51669]: (root) CMDEND (metrics-utility gather_automation_controller_billing_data --ship --until=10m)
May  8 09:46:26 ip-10-0-6-23 crontab[51659]: (root) END EDIT (root)
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    The generated report will have the default name CCSP-<YEAR>-<MONTH>.xlsx and is saved in the ship path that you specified in step 1a.

This section provides additional configurations for data gathering and report building based on a report type. Apply the environment variables to each report type based on your Ansible Automation Platform installation.

12.5.1. CCSPv2
Link kopieren

CCSPv2 is a report which shows the following:

  • Directly and indirectly managed node usage
  • The content of all inventories
  • Content usage

The primary use of this report is for partners under the CCSP program, but all customers can use it to obtain on-premise reporting showing managed nodes, jobs and content usage across their automation controller organizations.

Set the report type using METRICS_UTILITY_REPORT_TYPE=CCSPv2.

12.5.2. Optional collectors for gather command
Link kopieren

You can use the following optional collectors for the gather command:

  • main_jobhostsummary

    • If present by default, this incrementally collects data from the main_jobhostsummary table in the automation controller database, containing information about jobs runs and managed nodes automated.

  • main_host

    • This collects daily snapshots of the main_host table in the automation controller database and has managed nodes and hosts present across automation controller inventories.

  • main_jobevent

    • This incrementally collects data from the main_jobevent table in the automation controller database and contains information about which modules, roles, and Ansible collections are being used.

  • main_indirectmanagednodeaudit

    • This incrementally collects data from the main_indirectmanagednodeaudit table in the automation controller database and contains information about indirectly managed nodes. 

      # Example with all optional collectors

  • jobs

    • This is a list of automation controller jobs launched. It is grouped by job template.

  • managed_nodes

    • This is a deduplicated list of managed nodes automated by automation controller.

  • indirectly_managed_nodes

    • This is a deduplicated list of indirect managed nodes automated by automation controller.

  • inventory_scope

    • This is a deduplicated list of managed nodes present across all inventories of automation controller.

  • usage_by_organizations

    • This is a list of all automation controller organizations with several metrics showing the organizations usage. This provides data suitable for doing internal chargeback.

  • usage_by_collections

    • This is a list of Ansible collections used in a automation controller job runs.

  • usage_by_roles

    • This is a list of roles used in automation controller job runs.

  • usage_by_modules

    • This is a list of modules used in automation controller job runs.

  • managed_nodes_by_organization

    • This generates a sheet per organization, listing managed nodes for every organization with the same content as the managed_nodes sheet.

  • data_collection_status

    • This generates a sheet with the status of every data collection done by the gather command for the date range the report is built for.

To outline the quality of data collected it also lists:

  • unusual gaps between collections (based on collection_start_timestamp)

  • gaps in collected intervals (based on since vs until) 

    # Example with all optional sheets
export METRICS_UTILITY_OPTIONAL_CCSP_REPORT_SHEETS='ccsp_summary,jobs,managed_nodes,indirectly_managed_nodes,inventory_scope,usage_by_organizations,usage_by_collections,usage_by_roles,usage_by_modules,data_collection_status'

12.5.4. Filtering reports by organization
Link kopieren

To filter your report so that only certain organizations are present, use this environment variable with a semicolon separated list of organization names.

export METRICS_UTILITY_ORGANIZATION_FILTER="ACME;Organization 1"

This renders only the data from these organizations in the built report. This filter currently does not have any effect on the following optional sheets:

  • usage_by_collections
  • usage_by_roles
  • usage_by_modules

12.5.5. Selecting a date range for your CCSPv2 report
Link kopieren

The default behavior of the CCSPv2 report is to build a report for the previous month. The following examples describe how to override this default behavior to select a specific date range for your report: 

# Build report for a specific month
metrics-utility build_report --month=2025-03

# Build report for a specific date range, icluding the prvided days
metrics-utility build_report --since=2025-03-01 --until=2025-03-31

# Build report for a last 6 months from a current date
metrics-utility build_report --since=6months

# Build report for a last 6 months from a current date overriding an exisitng report
metrics-utility build_report --since=6months --force

12.5.6. RENEWAL_GUIDANCE
Link kopieren

The RENEWAL_GUIDANCE report provides historical usage from the HostMetric table, applying deduplication and showing real historical usage for renewal guidance purposes.

To generate this report, set the report type to METRICS_UTILITY_REPORT_TYPE=RENEWAL_GUIDANCE.

Important

This report is currently a tech preview solution. It is designed to provide more information than automation controller when built in the awx-manage host_metric command.

12.5.6.1. Storage and invocation
Link kopieren

The RENEWAL_GUIDANCE report supports the use of only local disk storage to store the report results. This report does not have a gather data step. It reads directly from the controller HostMetric table, so it does not store any raw data under the METRICS_UTILITY_SHIP_PATH. 

# All parameters the RENEWAL_GUIDANCE report needs
export METRICS_UTILITY_SHIP_TARGET=controller_db
export METRICS_UTILITY_REPORT_TYPE=RENEWAL_GUIDANCE
export METRICS_UTILITY_SHIP_PATH=/path_to_built_report/...

# Will generate report for 12 months back with epehemeral nodes being nodes
# automated for less than 1 month.
metrics-utility build_report --since=12months --ephemeral=1month
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

12.5.6.2. Showing ephemeral usage
Link kopieren

The RENEWAL_GUIDANCE report has the capability to list additional sheets with ephemeral usage if the –ephemeral parameter is provided. Using the parameter --ephemeral=1month, you can define ephemeral nodes as any managed node that has been automated for a maximum of one month, then never automated again. Using this parameter, the total ephemeral usage of the 12-month period is computed as maximum ephemeral nodes used over all 1-month rolling date windows. This sheet is also added into the report. 

# Will generate report for 12 months back with epehemeral nodes being nodes
# automated for less than 1 month.
metrics-utility build_report --since=12months --ephemeral=1month
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

12.5.6.3. Selecting a date range for your RENEWAL_GUIDANCE report
Link kopieren

The RENEWAL_GUIDANCE report requires a since parameter as the parameter is not supported due to the nature of the HostMetric data and is always set to now. To override a report date range that has already been built, use parameter –force with the command. For more information, see the following examples: 

# Build report for a specific date range, including the provided days
metrics-utility build_report --since=2025-03-01

# Build report for a last 12 months from a current date
metrics-utility build_report --since=12months

# Build report for a last 12 months from a current date overriding an existing report
metrics-utility build_report --since=12months --force

12.5.7. CCSP
Link kopieren

CCSP is the original report format. It does not include many of the customization of CCSPv2, and it is intended to be used only for the CCSP partner program.

12.5.8. Optional collectors for gather command
Link kopieren

You can use the following optional collectors for the gather command:

  • main_jobhostsummary

    • If present by default, this incrementally collects the main_jobhostsummary table from the automation controller database, containing information about jobs runs and managed nodes automated.

  • main_host

    • This collects daily snapshots of the main_host table from the automation controller database and has managed nodes/hosts present across automation controller inventories,

  • main_jobevent

    • This incrementally collects the main_jobevent table from the automation controller database and contains information about which modules, roles, and ansible collections are being used.

  • main_indirectmanagednodeaudit

    • This incrementally collects the main_indirectmanagednodeaudit table from the automation controller database and contains information about indirectly managed nodes, 
# Example with all optional collectors
export METRICS_UTILITY_OPTIONAL_COLLECTORS="main_host,main_jobevent,main_indirectmanagednodeaudit"
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

12.5.9. Optional sheets for build_report command
Link kopieren

You may use the following optional sheets for the build_report command:

  • ccsp_summary

    • This is a landing page specifically for partners under the CCSP program. It shows managed node usage by each automation controller organization.

    • This report takes additional parameters to customize the summary page. For more information, see the following example: 

      export METRICS_UTILITY_PRICE_PER_NODE=11.55 # in USD
