Update user counts on self-managed instances when a new license is applied
What does this MR do and why?
On self-managed instances, when a new license is applied, the user counts do not automatically update on the Admin Area subscription page (/admin/subscription):
Some numbers can be partly updated manually (the circular icon by the Last sync value):
However, for all these numbers to update, customers must wait until the worker (Analytics::UsageTrends::CountJobTriggerWorker) runs. We can improve the user experience by running the child worker of CountJobTriggerWorker - Analytics::UsageTrends::CounterJobWorker - as soon as a license is applied.
This MR adds a new after_commit method to the License model - update_billable_user_counts - which runs that worker on license creation.

Before the change, the user counts did not register a new user being added. After the change, that number has correctly updated. |
How to set up and validate locally
- Start GDK in self-managed mode, as well as CustomersDot.
- Create a new user on GDK.
- Log out, then log in as the admin users.
- Navigate to https://gdk.test:3443/admin/subscription and note the user counts.
- Create a new license on CustomersDot (Premium or Ultimate) and use the activation code to activate it on the same GDK subscription page.
- Wait for some minutes for the counts to update. All numbers should be correct and account for the new user.
