To install an API Gateway metering tool along with a mod manager, you’ll first need to identify the specific metering tool you want to use and the mod manager that fits your requirements. Once you have those details, follow these general steps:

1. Choose a Metering Tool: Research and select an API Gateway metering tool that suits your needs. Consider factors such as compatibility with your API Gateway platform, features, pricing, and community support.

2. Download and Install the Metering Tool: Visit the official website or repository of the chosen metering tool and follow the installation instructions provided. This typically involves downloading the necessary files and running an installer or configuring it manually.

3. Configure the Metering Tool: After installation, configure the metering tool according to your requirements. This involves setting up parameters such as billing rates, usage quotas, authentication mechanisms, and integration with your API Gateway.

4. Choose a Mod Manager: Identify a mod manager that is compatible with your system and the metering tool you’ve chosen. Mod managers help you install, update, and manage modifications (mods) for your applications or games.

5. Download and Install the Mod Manager: Similar to the metering tool, download the mod manager from its official source and follow the installation instructions. Ensure compatibility with your operating system and any dependencies required.

6. Configure the vortex Mod manager: Once installed, configure the mod manager settings as needed. This may involve specifying the mod directory, enabling automatic updates, and configuring any compatibility settings.

7. Install Mods: With the mod manager in place, you can now install mods for your API Gateway or any other applications you’re managing. Follow the mod manager’s instructions for downloading and installing mods from trusted sources.

8. Test and Monitor: After installation, thoroughly test both the metering tool and any installed mods to ensure they work as expected. Monitor system performance and usage metrics provided by the metering tool to ensure accurate billing and tracking.

Remember to regularly update both the metering tool and mods to benefit from new features, bug fixes, and security patches. Additionally, stay informed about any changes or updates to your API Gateway platform that may affect the functionality of the metering tool or mods.

Metering tool is specific to integration server, and it can be enabled with the watt parameter (watt.server.metering.simulator.enabled). This creates metering.log file.

Thank you for the response. I want to generate report of metering from metering.softwareag.cloud, I followed some documentations and now i have access to the metering app inside my dashboard in softwareag.cloud but it is not showing any data.

How do i configure my Integration Server to send data to my metering.softwareag.cloud dashboard?

@Senthilkumar_G

@Hamza_Khalid Okay, I didn’t realise you are talking about softwareag cloud, rather onprem.

For sag cloud, sag would be hosting the base platform with multi tenant mode where you are assigned as one of the tenant. You may have to reach out to the sag cloud platform team (via ticket?) as this might need to be checked in underlying platform if this configuration is set. Or others in the forum who have worked on sag cloud might respond if they had come across similar needs. Thanks.

On-premise metering data is centralized in metering.softwareag.cloud, we’re not talking about an iPaaS deployment here.

https://documentation.softwareag.com/webmethods/integration_server/pie10-15/webhelp/pie-webhelp/index.html#page/pie-webhelp/co-metering_simulator_4.html is for the metering simulator.
The documentation to set up the metering agent in the self-hosted runtimes is there: https://documentation.softwareag.com/webmethods/wmsuites/wmsuite10-15/webhelp/wsi-webhelp/#page/wsi-webhelp%2Fto-mta.html%23
