The output shows the minimum, maximum, and average usage of the two license keys that have been installed in the
vCenter Server. The date range is the last 90 days from the current day (in this case October 3, 2012.) The middle table lists
all the vFabric and open-source software (OSS) 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.
Note that in the example above, the vFabric License Server is tracking both open-source Apache Tomcat and vFabric tc
Server. The bottom table shows a summary of the vFabric Standard and vFabric Advanced license keys, with capacity and
usage.
Display the Component Events File in Readable Format: Procedure
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.
