40 Monitoring vFabric License Usage
The output shows the minimum, maximum, and average usage of the two license keys that have been installed in the
vCenter Server. The period reflects the last 90 days from the current day (in this case May 1, 2012.) The bottom table lists
all the vFabric components that the vFabric License Server is tracking, the version of the installed component, and the
minimum, maximum, and average license usage for each component over the same period.
Displaying the Component Events File in Readable Format
Each vFabric component keeps an events file that records particular events, such as the component start and stop times, as well
as when it used its license. This events log file is difficult to read in its raw form, so you can use the vfabric-licensetool
printevents utility to display these events in a more readable format.
Prerequisites
• If necessary, install a JDK or JRE on the VM on which the vFabric component is installed.
Be sure the JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables point to the JDK or JRE.
For example, if you installed the JDK in /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_24, you can set the environment variables in the user's
Linux profile as follows:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_24
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
