When you are monitoring a server is monitored for realtime usage and you also import denial logs for that server, the data may be shown in License Statistics under two separate servers. This occurs because the denial log contains only the hostname of the machine, but the realtime server is known under an IP address or different hostname. 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.
...
For example, say you have a FlexNet server for which you are tracking want to track both realtime usage and denials data. 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.
To see realtime statistics and denials under a single server in License Statistics, you designate one server as an alias for the other. For the above example, the denials import server, identified by the hostname Server1, can be designated as an alias of the realtime monitoring server, identified by the IP address 192.123.45.123, since these are two ids for the same server.
If you haven't yet imported the denials log, you can avoid having the data show up under two servers by editing the license server in License Statistics and assigning "Server1" as an alias for that License Server. Then, when you import the denials log that uses the hostname "Server1," the denials data will be shown under the same server as the realtime data.
However, if you already imported the denials log and have the realtime and denials data shown under separate servers, you After assigning one server as an alias for the other, statistics for the two server hostnames will be shown under a single server. However, note that statistics gathered prior to creating the alias will still be shown under separate servers. You must merge the existing data to resolve this. Assigning server aliases and merging data under one server are described in the following sections.Note that you can use aliases and merging exclusively from one another. For example, if you don't have existing data to merge for a server that is used for both denials and realtime data, you would only need to assign a server alias to ensure that the data is shown under a single When you merge the data stored under "Server1" with the realtime server, "Server1" is removed from License Statistics. By default, an alias will be created at the same time as merging, so you will not need to merge data again in the future, or take an extra step to make an alias for the server.
Assigning and editing server aliases
To assign a server alias for a server that uses multiple hostnames (one for denials realtime data and another for realtime datadenials data), so that all future data in License Statistics will be shown under one server:
- Select the From the License Servers page, select the realtime server to which you want to assign an alias.
- Click the from the License Servers page, then click the Edit icon to open the Edit License Server dialog (see Editing license server information).
- Under the Aliases tab, click Add New , and enter the desired to add an alias for the license server you are currently editing.
- Enter the hostname that is being used for the denials log in the Hostname field.
- Optionally, enter a description for the alias.
- Click Save to create the alias.
- You can edit or delete the alias information at any time by editing the license server and using the Edit and Delete icons under the Action column .When you are done entering the alias, click Close to exit the dialogin the Aliases tab.
Merging server data
To merge existing data in License Statistics for a server that uses multiple hostnames (one for denials and another for realtime data), so that the data for that server will be shown under one server instead of multiple servers:
