The output includes the name of the component and versions, the period of reporting, and the minimum, maximum, and average
number of virtual machines on which the component was running. Note that the report includes information about open-source
components, such as Apache Tomat.
The following example is similar, but limits the output to the mycluster cluster rather than the entire vCenter server.

Monitor License Usage with the vFabric License Server Reporting UI
The vFabric License Server Reporting web user interface provides a graphical representation of the vFabric license usage and
capacity for a particular vCenter server. The web user interface provides similar output as the monitoring commands, although
you cannot limit the output to specific resource pools, clusters or data centers; rather, the user interface always shows the usage
and capacity for the entire vCenter server.
Procedure
1. Invoke the vFabric License Server UI in your browser by navigating to the following URL:
https://host:8443/vfabric-license-server/report/create
where host is the IP address or hostname of the Windows computer on which you installed the vFabric License Server into
a vCenter Server. If your browser is on the same computer, you can use localhost over HTTP:
http://localhost:8080/vfabric-license-server/report/create
