operator utilization

The operator utilization allows the Vault Enterprise users to generate license utilization reporting bundles. When users have disabled automated license reporting, use this command to manually generate the report and send it to HashiCorp.

Examples

Create a license utilization bundle that includes all persisted historical snapshots and has the default bundle name (vault-utilization-<time_stamp>.json):

$ vault operator utilization
Success! License utilization reporting bundle written to: vault-utilization-2024-02-16T22-23-25Z.json

Create a license utilization bundle with a message about the bundle, and output the file at the specified path, /utilization/reports/latest.json.

$ vault operator utilization \
    -message="Change Control 654987" \
    -output="/utilization/reports/latest.json"

Example output:

Success! License utilization reporting bundle written to: /utilization/reports/latest.json

The message, Change Control 654987, is included in the server log, but not in the bundle.

Example entry in the server log:

[INFO]  reporting: generating license utilization bundle
[INFO]  reporting: generating license utilization bundle: message="Change Control 654987"

Usage

The following flags are available in addition to the standard set of flags included on all commands.

Command options

• -message (string; "") - Provide context about the conditions under which the report was generated and submitted. This message is not included in the license utilization bundle but will be included in the vault server logs.

• -output (string; "") - Specifies the output path for the bundle. Defaults to a time-based generated file name.

• -today-only (bool: false) - To include only today’s snapshot, no historical snapshots. If no snapshots were persisted in the last 24 hrs, it takes a snapshot and exports it to a bundle.
