Resolution

To fix this issue:

1. In the root of the Container, open Metadata.json in a text editor.
2. Include the AuthUrl and UsageReportingUrl as shown below.

{
    "PackageId": "Appname_identifer",
    "IsTelemetryEnabled": true,
    "TelemetryApiUrl": "https://telemetry.cloudhouse.com/telemetry",
    "Icon": "%DefaultDir%\\Cloudhouse.Container.Run.exe",
    "Name": "Appname",
    "Version": "",
    "Publisher": "",
    "AuthUrl": "https://auth.cloudhouse.com/oauth/token",
    "UsageReportingUrl": "https://containers.cloudhouse.com/api/UsageEvents"
}

3. Save the file.

Symptoms

The application fails to run in a Container when it has been deployed using the HTTPS Usage Reporting and reports the following error:

ERROR Cloudhouse.Container.Usage.UsageStoreFactory - You must configure either file based or API based logging.

Cause

The usage API is unable to report usage via HTTPS because no URL is specified in the configuration file.
