Hi, Below is a snippet from the latest documentation on usage found at http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/archived-cloudstack-administration/en/latest/usage.html
===BEGIN=== For example, suppose that your server is in GMT, your user population is predominantly in the East Coast of the United States, and you would like to process usage records every night at 2 AM local (EST) time. Choose these settings: enable.usage.server = true usage.execution.timezone = America/New_York usage.stats.job.exec.time = 07:00. This will run the Usage job at 2:00 AM EST. Note that this will shift by an hour as the East Coast of the U.S. enters and exits Daylight Savings Time. usage.stats.job.aggregation.range = 1440 With this configuration, the Usage job will run every night at 2 AM EST and will process records for the previous day’s midnight-midnight as defined by the EST (America/New_York) time zone. Note Because the special value 1440 has been used for usage.stats.job.aggregation.range, the Usage Server will ignore the data between midnight and 2 AM. That data will be included in the next day’s run. ===END=== In the above example, shouldn’t the example mean usage.aggregation.timezone = America/New York instead of usage.execution.timezone = America/New York In the above example, on one hand the server is in GMT, which has been overriden by the usage.execution.timezone = America/New_York setting and on the other hand the explanation goes on to say that 07:00 would actually be 02:00 EST (which is GMT 07:00). As per the requirement in the example, since the management server is already in GMT we need not give any value to usage.execution.timezone nor usage.aggregation.timezone and it should still suffice with the other parameters as per the example. The present context doesn’t make any sense to me (am I missing something ?)
