Feature Usage Information
You can see a list of hostnames/usernames included in the existing Hostnames/Usernames columns when aggregating by a particular aggregation option, and to maintain the visibility of Username/Hostname columns when aggregating by a different aggregation option.
The feature usage information includes the following:
| Column Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | A particular day or period of time, whose format depends on the selected grouping option.
|
| Hours Used | The number of hours at least one license of a particular feature was used and/or borrowed. |
| Hours Borrowed | The number of hours at least one license of a particular feature was used and/or borrowed. |
| Max Used | The maximum number of licenses used in a particular time period. |
| Max Borrowed | The maximum number of licenses borrowed in a particular time period. |
| Max Usage | The maximum allowed level of feature usage, expressed in percentages. |

| Column | Aggregation Type | Scenario | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hours Used/Borrowed | User | In our example, the results shown in the report are limited by Day. Scenario 1 The user uses 1 license for 8 hours. Calculation: 8 hours = 8 Hours Used Scenario 2 The user uses 2 licenses for 1 hour and then 10 licenses for 2 hours and 1 license for 2 hours. | When you choose to use a different aggregation type or when you decide to group by a different value, the sum of the values will be displayed for the following: a). Days in a time frame b). Entities (for example; user, host) in a particular aggregation. |
| Max Used/Borrowed | User | In our example, the results shown in the report are limited by Day. Scenario 1 The user uses 2 licenses in 1 day. Calculation: 2 licenses = 2 Max Used/Borrowed Scenario 2 The user uses 2 licenses in 1 day, but for 1 hour he uses only 1 license Calculation: 2 licenses = 2 Max Used/Borrowed Scenario 3 The user uses 2 licenses in 1 day, but for 1 hour he needs and uses 10 licenses. Calculation: 10 licenses = 10 Max Used/Borrowed | When you choose to use a different aggregation type or when you decide to group by a different value, the highest value will be displayed for the following: a). Days in a time frame b). Entities (for example user, host) in a particular aggregation. |
| Max Usage | User | In our example, the number of available licenses for a particular feature is 10. Scenario 1 The user uses 2 licenses in 1 day. Calculation: 2 licenses out of 10 licenses = 20% Scenario 2 The user uses 5 licenses for 1 day, but for 1 hour he needs and uses only 2 licenses. Calculation: 5 licenses out of 10 licenses = 50% Scenario 3 The user uses 3 licenses in 1 day, but for 1 hour he needs and uses 8 licenses. Calculation: 8 licenses out of 10 licenses = 80% | When you choose to use a different aggregation type or when you decide to group by a different value, the same method of calculation will be applied. It should be noted that the Max Usage value may serve as a warning signal, giving you information about the highest values of feature usage. It is worth considering if the values represent a one-time event or a tendency. |
