The information on this page refers to License Statistics v4.6 15 or newer, which made changes and improvements to alias and merging features. If you are using an earlier version, please refer to the documentation for releases prior to v4.615. 

When you are monitoring a server 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. 

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.
