Disable old billing dashboards and delete last bills

In Abiquo 5.2, the billing dashboard feature is now in the core Abiquo platform.

If you are using the billing dashboard scripts from previous versions, disable them and delete last bills before you continue with the upgrade.

1. On the server where you were running the billing packages, remove the Cron jobs to run the billing scripts.

   Code Block
   # rm /etc/cron.d/abiquo-billing-ec2 # rm /etc/cron.d/abiquo-billing-arm

   
   

2. Delete the last bills from the previous version of the billing dashboards (from the kinton.billing_consolidation and kinton.billing_register tables). Remove the bills for Azure and Amazon providers, for the number of months covered by the abiquo.enterprise.property.billing.monthoffset property, which has a default value of 2 months. Later the new billing dashboards feature will regenerate these bills.
