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 or for a set of computers that the standalone vFabric License Server is tracking. The
web user interface provides similar output as the monitoring commands but with one difference: you cannot limit the output to
specific resource pools, clusters or data centers as you can with the command-line tools ; rather, the user interface always shows
the usage and capacity for the entire vCenter server.
Procedure

https://host:8443/vfabric-license-server/report/create

browser is on the same computer, you can use localhost:
https://localhost:8443/vfabric-license-server/report/create
