38 Monitoring vFabric License Usage
• RHEL standalone (that is, a non-vSphere environment): /opt/vmware/vfabric-license-server/bin
For example, on the Windows VM on which vCenter Server is installed:
prompt> cd c:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vFabric Platform\Reporting
If you installed standalone vFabric License Server on a RHEL computer:
prompt$ cd /opt/vmware/vfabric-license-server/bin
2. Run the desired monitoring command.
For example, run the usage-over-periods command to display vFabric license usage over a period of time. Specify
the start and end dates of the time period, as well as the period, such as monthly or yearly. Output is shown after the
command. Usage refers to the number of licenses in use.
prompt> usage-over-periods.bat -startDate 09/01/2012 -endDate 09/4/2012 -period WEEKLY
Period: WEEKLY

For descriptions and examples of each command, see License Monitoring: Command Reference.The commands for
Windows and Linux are the same, except that Windows commands have a .bat suffix and the Linux commands have a
.sh suffix.
License Monitoring: Command Reference
The following sections provide complete reference documentation for the following vFabric license monitoring commands:
• current-usage
• current-versions
• usage-over-periods
• versions-over-periods
Depending on the environment in which you installed the vFabric License Server, you run a Windows version of the monitoring
command (vSphere environment) or a Linux version (standalone RHEL environment.)
The following example shows how to run a monitoring command on Linux:
prompt$ ./current-usage.sh
The equivalent on Windows is as follows:
prompt> current-usage.bat
The remainder of this topic provides Windows examples.
In the sections, usage refers to the number of vFabric licenses that are assigned to a computer (virtual or physical) running one or
more vFabric components, such as vFabric tc Server, and capacity refers to the number of vFabric licenses you have purchased.
Command options available only in a vSphere environment are flagged as such.
