OX-Report Client deprecated
Introduction
Generating a report every month is mandatory in order to have access to the maintenance updates available in the updates directory on software.open-xchange.com.
You have been blocked already?
Don't panic, you can still access https://software.open-xchange.com, because that is open for everyone. So install the Report Client from stable instead of updates and once you're done, update to the latest version.
The Open-Xchange Report Client extension of the Open-Xchange Server enables you to generate and send usage reports of your environment to Open-Xchange. The report will contain information of how many contexts and users have been created in the given Open-Xchange environment. This article will guide you through the installation of the Open-Xchange Report Client. It describes the setup of the software extension itself, and which additional configurations need to be done to execute this extension.
You will find further information at the Open-Xchange Frequent Asked Questions (FAQ)
Installation on OX App Suite
The open-xchange-report-client package, which is part of the backend software repository, must be installed.
Configuration
A requirement to execute the Open-Xchange Report Client is to have your Open-Xchange license key stored in one specific file on your Open-Xchange installation. The latest version of our installation guide documentation will automatically enable you to store your license key on disk by using a new oxinstaller command.
If you want to use the report client on an already installed environment you need to store your license key manually on disk. To do so create and edit the following file on your Open-Xchange server:
$ vim /opt/open-xchange/etc/common/licensekeys.properties
or on 6.22 or newer
$ vim /opt/open-xchange/etc/licensekeys.properties
com.openexchange.licensekey.1=PUT\_YOUR\_OPEN-XCHANGE\_LICENSE\_KEY\_HERE
If you are behind a firewall and the report client needs to be configured using a HTTP proxy, please edit file:
$ vim /opt/open-xchange/etc/groupware/reportclient.properties
or on 6.22 or newer
$ vim /opt/open-xchange/etc/reportclient.properties
After editing this file accordingly to your proxy needs, try to start the report client again.
Using the Report tool
Now as the package has been correctly installed and you provided your license key in the according properties file your are ready to launch the report client to generate a report. By default (if no option is given) the report client will display and send the generated report to an Open-Xchange service on activation.open-xchange.com. Note that only data that is displayed in the console will be transfered to Open-Xchange
activation.open-xchange.com:443
Report kinds
In general there are two kinds of reports. Since 7.8.0 the default report has got the appsuite style format. If you would like to generate and display/save/send the formerly used style you have to add the option "-o" to every known parameter combination.
Display data usage report
$ /opt/open-xchange/sbin/report -d
If you want to know which data would be transfered, execute the report client with the option "-d" (display_only). If this option is given to the report client no data will be send:
Send data usage report
$ /opt/open-xchange/sbin/report -s
If you don't want to have the report displayed in the console (which might be the case for automated executions of the report client) execute the report client with the option -s (send_only). Now no report will be displayed after the report has been sent to activation.open-xchange.com.
Report performance and storage
With version 7.8.3 new properties are introduced.
Describes the storage path for all report relevant data. Saving a report will place a JSON-Version of the report in that folder.
This property enables the client to store parts of the report on hard drive to keep memory usage small. A chunk is a CapabilitySet. The stored parts are combined into a single .report file and then deleted when the report is finished. The .report file is not deleted automatically.
The report will use multithreading for faster processing. Therefore the user can edit the threadpoolsize by editing this property value. Each thread is processing the needed values from a schema. If the threadpool is smaller then the schemas in the database, the threads are queued.
This property determines the used threads priotity. It can range from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).
Available options
$ /opt/open-xchange/sbin/report -h
lists all available options:
Usage: report
-h,--help Prints a help text
--environment Show info about commandline environment
--nonl Remove all newlines (\n) from output
--responsetimeout <responsetimeout> response timeout in seconds for reading response from the backend (default 0s; infinite)
-H,--host <host> specifies the host
-T,--timeout <timeout> timeout in seconds for the connection creation to the backend (default 15s)
-J,--jmxauthuser <jmxauthuser> jmx username (required when jmx authentication enabled)
-P,--jmxauthpassword <jmxauthpassword> jmx username (required when jmx authentication enabled)
-s,--sendonly Send report without displaying it (Disables default)
-d,--displayonly Display report without sending it (Disables default)
-c,--csv Show output as CSV
-a,--advancedreport Run an advanced report (could take some time with a lot of contexts)
-f,--savereport Save the report as JSON String instead of sending it
-b,--showaccesscombination <showaccesscombination> Show access combination for bitmask
-e,--run-appsuite-report Schedule an appsuite style report. Will print out the reports UUID or, if a report is being generated, the UUID of the pending report
-t,--report-type <report-type> The type of the report to run. Leave this off for the 'default' report. 'Known reports next to 'default': 'extended'
--inspect-appsuite-reports Prints information about currently running reports
--cancel-appsuite-reports Cancels pending reports
-g,--get-appsuite-report Retrieve the report that was generated, can (and should) be combined with the options for sending, displaying or saving the report
-x,--run-and-deliver-report Create a new report and send it immediately. Note: This command will run until the report is finished, and that could take a while. Can (and should) be combined with the options for sending, displaying or saving the report
-o,--run-and-deliver-old-report Run old report type. Used to have a backward compatibility.
-S,--timeframe-start <timeframe-start> Set the starting date of the timeframe in format: dd.mm.yyyy
-E,--timeframe-end <timeframe-end> Set the ending date of the timeframe in format: dd.mm.yyyy. If start date is set and this parameter not, the current Date is taken as timeframe end.
Known report types in 7.8.2
default
- The output equals the reports in appsuite style. Additionally a beginning and ending timeframe can be set. This report type will be generated, if no other report type is set with option
-t.
extended
- The extended output adds drive metrics, client logins, quota and context metrics for each capability-set and the whole deployment.
Explanation of the appsuite report console output
Report-type: default
This report type will be generated even without a selected type.

macdetail:
- detailed information about existing module access combinations and its usage
total:
- accumulated user and disabled users, guests, links (anonymous share), the reports timeframe, if not set via arguments the last year is considered and context metrics (min, max, average, disabled and total)
clientlogincountyear:
- number of client logins for the last year (1 year back from current date)
clientlogincount:
- number of client logins for the last month
Additional Information: Both login count values respect only the last client login of a user with a distinct client like olox2 or appsuite. If a user logs in with olox2 and appsuite during the last 30 days, he will be considered in both counts for the clients and also in both timeframes (clientlogincountyear & clientlogincount). If his last login with a client is further away in the past but still in the timeframe of the last year (365 days in the past), he will only be considered in the yearly counter (clientlogincountyear) and not in the last monthly counter (clientlogincount).
