Disabling/enabling a usage report
Important
Only scheduled reports can be enabled or disabled.
To disable/enable a usage report
Authenticate to the cloud platform via the Python shell.
The following variables should be available now:
>>> base_url # the base URL of the API '<the data center URL>/api/2' >>> auth # the 'Authorization' header value with the access token {'Authorization': 'Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImMwMD...'} >>> tenant_id # the UUID of the tenant to which the token provides access 'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae'
Fetch the UUID of the report that you want to update as described in Fetching a usage report. As the result, the following variable with the report UUID should be available:
>>> report_id '20dffb36-d77b-45c6-b2fa-39276e98d5fc'
Define a variable named
report_data
, and then assign the report data to update to this variable:>>> report_data = { ... 'schedule': { ... 'enabled': False ... } ... }

Description
schedule
report schedule object
No
An object that allows to configure scheduling of the report. The
enabled
parameter is optional.Convert the
report_data
object to a JSON text:>>> report_data = json.dumps(report_data, indent=4) >>> print(report_data) { "schedule": { "enabled": false } }
Send a PUT request with the JSON text to the
/reports/{report_id}
endpoint:>>> response = requests.put( ... f'{base_url}/reports/{report_id}', ... headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', **auth}, ... data=report_data, ... )
Check the status code of the response:
>>> response.status_code 200
Status code 200 means that the report has been successfully disabled.
Note
A different status code means that an error has occurred. For details of the error, see HTTP status response codes and API error codes.
Also, the response body contains the report data, formatted as a JSON text. When converted to an object, it will look like this:
>>> pprint.pprint(response.json()) {'generation_date': '2017-05-08', 'id': '20dffb36-d77b-45c6-b2fa-39276e98d5fc', 'parameters': {'formats': ['csv'], 'kind': 'usage_current', 'level': 'direct_partners', 'period': {'end': '2017-05-07', 'start': '2017-05-01'}, 'tenant_id': 'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae'}, 'recipients': ['ca451758-b48a-45d9-9ae6-8f1059f67619'], 'result_action': 'send', 'schedule': {'enabled': False, 'type': 'once'}, 'version': 1}
