| Info |
Application Monitoring is a separately purchased License Statistics add-on, currently available only with the new licensing model and only for Windows installations of License Statistics- 2019 only. |
Custom Application Monitoring feature lets you configure applications to be monitored by License Statistics Agents. The Agents will gather information about the usage of any applications configured to be monitored, and report that data to License Statistics, which presents the data on its regular reports.
...
- All Agents that belong to the assigned Agent Groups will start monitoring the application with the specified executable name.
- When a user starts the configured application on any end-user host, the assigned Agents will start gathering information about its usage (time, duration, number of instances, username, host, etc.).
- All of the collected data is periodically sent to the License Statistics server.
- Upon the first report delivery, the license server retrieves the vendor name and a feature with the name of the application is created (for example, "notepad app").
- Subsequently, reports will include standard statistics about the application usage, such as sessions, usage statistics, users, hosts, and number of licenses consumed (number of application instances opened).
Currently, each application requires one License Server to be used. A single Agent can monitor multiple applications.
License Harvesting
You can optionally enable License Harvesting for the applications you want to monitor when setting up Application Monitoring. After configuring applications to use License Harvesting, the Agents periodically connect to the License Statistics server to obtain the most current configuration informationCustom Application.
