The CleanupMetering service cleans up old and unused metering data from the Snow License Manager database to improve performance and decrease the need for database maintenance.

    • METERING_HISTORY_MONTHS

    • APPLICATION_CONCURRENCY_CLEANUP

    • METERING_HISTORY_CLEANUP

    For information on the settings, see Basic settings.

View the CleanupMetering service log file​

  1. To view that the service has executed background processes on the configured schedule and how long it took to finish, open the log file. The default path is C:\Program Files\Snow Software\Logs\CleanupMetering.

  2. To view detailed information in the Action log, for example, the number of deleted rows, go to Snow License Manager user interface and navigate to Home > Administration > Action log.

note

When the basic settings in Snow Management and Configuration Center are enabled, the scripts will log the number of deleted rows and the processing time.

The service logs the background processes even when the scripts on the backend do not delete anything, for example when the basic settings in Snow Management and Configuration Center are not enabled, or when no old data exists in the database.
