The display of these usage details in the graphs is controlled by clicking the status for which you want to view data in the legend at the top of the chart. For example, clicking the "Total" option on the graph legend will remove the lines showing the number of used licenses.

Gaps in collecting data

Empty spaces or "gaps" in the graph indicate periods when License Statistics was not running and data was not being gathered. This can happen due to one or more of the following reasons:

  • the status of the license server has changed to "Down"
  • License Statistics wants to connect to the license server to gather data, but the server is temporarily unavailable

You can add the Feature Usage graph to the License Statistics Dashboard. Learn more about customizing the Dashboard.
