If you monitor When a server is monitored for realtime usage and you also import denial logs for that server, you may see two servers the data may be shown in License Statistics under two separate servers. This occurs because because the denial log that is imported into License Statistics contains only the hostname of the machine, while but the realtime server is known under an IP address or different hostname. In such cases, you can use an alias and/or merge the server data to Therefore, the realtime data will be shown under the server's IP address, while the denials data will be shown under the hostname contained in the log file. 

To see the server's usage information reported under one server name, you can use an alias and/or merge the server data. Assigning an alias essentially instructs License Statistics that the two hostnames refer to the same server instead of two different servers. (See also Merging databases with xfeditdb.) 

  • If you currently have only realtime data for the server in License Statistics and plan to also import denials data into License Statistics, you can create an alias for the server before importing the denials data. Thereafter, all denials data and realtime data will be shown under one server. 
  • If you currently have both realtime data and denials data for one server that is being shown in License Statistics under two separate servers, you can merge the data under one server. When you merge the data, you have the option of creating an alias automatically, so both realtime and denials data will be shown under one server for all future monitoring and imports. This is usually the recommended option, unless you are certain that no data will be imported for the server in the future. Otherwise, you will need to create an alias for the server before importing data in the future.

For example, say you have a FlexNet server for which you are tracking both realtime usage and denials. The realtime server uses the IP address 192.123.45.123, but the denial log for the same server uses a server hostname, Server1. This results in two independent servers being shown in License Statistics.
