Turning off billing and capacity monitoring reports

You can reduce system load (CPU and memory resources) by stopping its automatic statistics summarization process in the Management Station configuration. For example, this is useful for small deployments where everything, including the Management Station, runs on the same host.

Note: You can turn off reports if you have a perpetual license. You cannot turn off reports if you have a usage-based license (also known as PPU, Price Per Unit).

You can turn off billing reports only, or both billing and capacity monitoring reports:

  1. Log on to the Management Station host as Administrator or root.
  2. Set ReportingConfiguration as desired in %MSTATION_HOME%\mserver\webapps\mserver\config\mserver_cfg.properties. Valid values are:

    Value

    Description

    GUI change

    DEFAULT

    Both reports on. Data summarization for both on.

    Features available (no change)

    X_BILLING

    Billing reports off. Data summarization for billing off.

    Hides Billing tab

    X_BILLING_CAPACITY_MONITORING

    Billing and capacity monitoring reports off. Data summarization for both off.

    Hides:

    Billing tab

    Export statistics data (from Data Management tab)

    Capacity Monitoring (from System Analysis tab)

  3. Set the same property in %MSTATION_HOME%\mserversa\webapps\mserver\config\mserver_cfg.properties.
  4. Restart the Nuance Management Station and Nuance Management Station Stats Analyzer for the changes to take effect:
    • Windows: From the Control Panel.
    • Linux: Use the commands below:
      service initScriptmserver.sh restart
      service initScriptmserversa.sh restart
  5. Log back in to the Management Station.
