GUI License Event Reporting
These reports are generated by querying information directly from a server or servers. Since the amount of
logged event information may be extensive it is impractical to create a local snapshot of all the log informa-
tion to generate reports from.
The reports can be filtered using the same View Filter as previously discussed. A log report can be scoped
by server, vendor, product, or user. By default, the View filter dialogs allow the administrator to select
from the servers, vendors, products, and users which are contained in the current snapshot. If the desired
filter item is not contained in the current snapshot, the administrator can manually specify the name in an
entry field on the filter dialog.
There are five log reports which are summarized below.
• License event log reports which reports logged server events without deriving additional information.
There are seven categories of events which can be included in this reports.
1. All events
2. (default) License related events (license request, license release, etc.)
3. Vendor messages
4. License database modifications.
5. Error events (license request failed, vendor not found, etc.)
6. Server start/stop
7. Fatal error events (server out of memory, server file IO error, etc.)
Note that error events 2-7 can be combined.
• License requests by product. For each product lists the number of requests for licenses, the number of
licenses granted, and the percent of rejected requests.
• License requests by user. Lists the same information and the previous reports, but breaks out a
separate entry for each user.
• License use by product. For each product lists the maximum concurrent nodes, maximum concurrent
users, and average time in use.
• License use by user. For each product, lists the number of times each user invoked the product and
the average time the product was in use.
