This activity is to be done via a detached screen session on a remote server.
To generate Service Ping, use [Teleport](https://goteleport.com/docs/) or a detached screen session on a remote server.
Before you begin these steps, make sure the key is added to the SSH agent locally
with the `ssh-add` command.
### Triggering
### Triggering
1. Connect to bastion with agent forwarding: `$ ssh -A lb-bastion.gprd.gitlab.com`
#### Trigger Service Ping with Teleport
1. Create named screen: `$ screen -S <username>_usage_ping_<date>`
1. Connect to console host: `$ ssh $USER-rails@console-01-sv-gprd.c.gitlab-production.internal`
1. Request temporary [access](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/-/blob/master/docs/Teleport/Connect_to_Rails_Console_via_Teleport.md#how-to-use-teleport-to-connect-to-rails-console) to the required environment.
1. Run `SubmitUsagePingService.new.execute`
1. After your approval is issued, [access the Rails console](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/-/blob/master/docs/Teleport/Connect_to_Rails_Console_via_Teleport.md#access-approval).
1. Detach from screen: `ctrl + a, ctrl + d`
1. Run `ServicePing::SubmitService.new.execute`.
1. Exit from bastion: `$ exit`
#### Trigger Service Ping with a detached screen session
1. Reconnect to bastion: `$ ssh -A lb-bastion.gprd.gitlab.com`
#### Verify with a detached screen session
1. Find your screen session: `$ screen -ls`
1. Attach to your screen session: `$ screen -x 14226.mwawrzyniak_usage_ping_2021_01_22`
1. Follow [the steps](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/-/blob/master/docs/Teleport/Connect_to_Rails_Console_via_Teleport.md#how-to-use-teleport-to-connect-to-rails-console) to request a new access to the required environment and connect to the Rails console
1. Check the last payload in `raw_usage_data` table: `RawUsageData.last.payload`
1. Check the when the payload was sent: `RawUsageData.last.sent_at`
