With simulator and cloudstack working you will be getting usage events in cloud.usage_event. To convert these events to billable data you need to install usage server. This is a separately installed component.
Form the error it appears that this separate usage server is probably not available/installed.

Is there a way to check if is this working/restart it? I see this in the UI: [cid:ii_j1osp53s0_15b859cb2222128c] And when I log into the docker container I and attempt to restart the usage server (based on these docs: http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-administration/en/latest/usage.html) . I get: root@31b33a3c63dd:~# service cloudstack-usage restart cloudstack-usage: unrecognized service Am I missing something?

The usage service reads data from ‘cloud’ DB and puts it into ‘cloud_usage’ DB. If the data in cloud DB is proper there shouldn’t be any issues.

But it doesn't appear to process usage. Is it possible to process usage with this simulator? When I request usage I get an empty listusagerecordsresponse, I guess this is related to the general error in the UI: Usage Server No usage server process running 12 Apr 2017 13:56:35 Is it possible to enable this usage server in the simulator?
