Installing Cloudstack Usage after configuring Cloudstack.

[KreVet-Ka]

Hi,
I installed Cloudstack Usage after configuring Cloudstack. The installation and startup were successful, the configuration file /etc/cloudstack/usage/db.properties is configured correctly, connection to the cloud_usage database is established, and global parameters are set. The problem is that when the job starts, I get:

2025-12-17 17:18:00,001 INFO  [cloud.usage.UsageManagerImpl_EnhancerByCloudStack_ed9a1eec] (Usage-Job-1:[]) (logid:) starting usage job...
2025-12-17 17:18:00,014 DEBUG [cloud.usage.UsageManagerImpl_EnhancerByCloudStack_ed9a1eec] (Usage-Job-1:[]) (logid:) Not owner of usage job, skipping...
2025-12-17 17:18:00,015 INFO  [cloud.usage.UsageManagerImpl_EnhancerByCloudStack_ed9a1eec] (Usage-Job-1:[]) (logid:) usage job complete

Can Cloudstack Usage be installed after, or does it need to be installed before creating the database?

@KreVet-Ka , the problem is that there is an entry in the jobs table that says that another instance of the user service has planned a job, which crashed without completing. look in the cloud_usage.usage_job to clear any ongoing/planned jobs before starting your usage server.

EDIT: installation order shouldn’t matter.

@DaanHoogland, Thank you, that helped solve the problem. There was an entry in the cloud_usage.usage_job table with a host=NULL value. I deleted it, and the new job started successfully.
