PH09657: Usage Metering discards metrics on HTTP 500 response from metering service

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

The usage metering feature collects usage metrics every 15
minutes and sends them to the IBM Cloud Private metering
service.  When the metering service is taken down or
re-started, the reporting WebSphere application server may
receive an HTTP 500 response code, and handles the response
by discarding the usage metrics.  For that 15 minute
interval, the usage metrics displayed on the metering
dashboard will be missing / inaccurate.

The usage metering feature collects usage metrics every 15
minutes and sends them to the IBM Cloud Private metering
service.  When the metering service is taken down or re-
started,
the reporting WebSphere application server may receive an
HTTP
500 response code, and handles the response by discarding
the
usage metrics.  For that 15 minute interval, the usage
metrics
displayed on the metering dashboard will be missing /
inaccurate.

Problem conclusion

The usage metering feature in WebSphere application server
has
been updated to properly handle the HTTP 500 response by
caching
the usage metrics and sending the information later when the
metering service is reachable. The usage metrics will no
longer
be lost, and will display properly and accurately on the IBM
Cloud Private metering dashboard.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix
pack 19.0.0.3 for WebSphere Application Server Liberty and
9.0.5.0 and 8.5.5.16 for WebSphere Application Server.
