Warning
This page refers to functionality that has been removed from License Statistics. This information no longer applies to License Statistics v6.3 and newer.

The License Server Current Usage endpoint delivers license usage metrics specific to the License Server Current Usage, allowing you to monitor all the features for the currently selected license server.

...

You can easily fetch metrics about current usage for a single license serverby sending one of the following HTTP requestrequests.

Code Block
languagejs
titleCurrent usage for a single license server
GET /api/v1/report/license-server/${lsid}/current-usage/${returnType}

...


Code Block
languagejs
titleCurrent usage for a license server group

...

Code Block
language
js
GET /api/v1/report/license-server-group/${lsgid}/current-usage/${returnType}

where $ indicates a variable value that you can replace with a value that best suits your needs and the . The possible parameters can be explained as followsare described below.

ParameterRequiredTypeDescription
${lsid}Yesinteger
License Server ID
Internal License Statistics identification of license server to show usage on.
${lsgid}Yesinteger
License Server Group ID
Internal License Statistics identification of license server group to show usage on.
${returnType}Yesstring
Specifies the format in which license usage data should be returned. The format can be one of the following: json, csv, xls or pdf.fieldsVisibilityNojson/string

Specifies field visibility settings, for example:

Code Block
languagejs
firstline1
linenumberstrue
{
  "fid": "1",
  "fns": "1",
  "fv": "1",
  "ftype": "1",
  "fu": "1",
  "fbrwd": "1",
  "frvd": "1",
  "ft": "1",
  "futil": "1",
  "fexp": "1",
  "flu": "1"
}

where "1" indicates that a specific field is visible and ''0" indicates it is not.

Note that the order of the settings you make is important – when exported, the fields will be visible in exactly the same order you specify here.

rn

NostringSpecifies the name of the report that will be displayed once the report has been exported to PDF or XLS. For CSV and JSON formats, this parameter will be ignored.
If you don't pass this parameter, it will be generated automatically for PDF and XLS types. If provided, it cannot be left empty.filterNojson/string

Applies filtering license usage data on all fields.

To filter by a string column, use the following format.

Code Block
languagejs
firstline1
linenumberstrue
[
	{ 
		"type": "string",
		"field": "${ fns | fv | ftype | fexp | flu }",
		"value": "${value}"
	}
]
To filter by a numeric column, use the following format.

 

Code Block
languagejs
firstline1
linenumberstrue
[
    {
        "type": "numeric",
        "comparison": "${gt | lt | eq}",
        "field": "${ fu | fbrwd | frvd | ft | futil}",
        "value": "${value}"
    }
]
limitNointegerDetermines the maximum number of data records that can be returned. The value must be greater than zero.offsetNointegerSpecifies the offset of the first row to return.orderByNostring

Specifies the field by which you want to order your data records. The field name can be one of the following:

fid, fns, fv, ftype, fu, fbrwd, frvd, ft, futil, fexp, flu

(See this section for more field-specific information.)

orderDirectionNostringDetermines whether the sorting results will be displayed in ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order.

The following code block shows an example result of a successful request.

Example 1

Say you want to download data in XLS format The following example shows a command that downloads data about current usage for license server "7". To generate this data set, enter a command similar to the following. in XLSX format.

Code Block
linenumberstrue
curl -H "X-Auth-token: token" "http://yourdomain/api/v1/report/license-server/7/current-usage/xlsxlsx"

Example 2

If you want to obtain The following example shows a command that obtains information about features with current usage higher than 90% for license server "13.", enter the following command.

Code Block
linenumberstrue
curl -H "X-Auth-token: token" "http://yourdomain/api/v1/report/license-server/13/current-usage/json" --data-urlencode 'filters=[{"type":"numeric","comparison":"gt","field":"futil","value":"90"}]'

Example 3

Let's assume you want to download data in a CSV file The following example shows a command that downloads data about current usage for license server group "1". To generate this data set, enter a command similar to the following in CSV format.

Code Block
linenumberstrue
curl -H "X-Auth-token: token" "http://yourdomain/api/v1/report/license-server-group/131/current-usage/csv"
