The information on this page refers to License Statistics v6.19 and newer, which added the ability to control the connection interval. If you are using a version previous to v6.19, see documentation for previous versions. |
You can see a list of all License Statistics Agents in use by reviewing the Agents page, found under the Administration section in the left pane. (This page is visible only for License Statistics administrator users.)
Advanced Settings
You can control the connection interval for Agents using the slider located under Advanced Settings, at the top of the End User Agents page. The connection interval is 30 seconds by default, and can be increased to up to 600 seconds (10 minutes). It is generally recommended to increase the connection interval when there are a large number of End User Agents, because the reduced occurrence of redundant connections improves performance with no difference in functionality or gathered data. However, keep in mind that with a higher connection interval, configuration changes will be applied to Agents less often.
End User Agents grid
The End User Agents grid, displayed in the upper portion of the Agents page, includes the following information about license servers for which agents provided data:

| Host | Host name of the machine running the Agent. |
| Host IP | IP address of the machine running the Agent. |
Last Connection Time | Last time that the Agent connected to License Statistics (this reflects only the connection time, regardless whether data was gathered). |

| Application | List of applications for which License Harvesting is enabled. |
| Agent Group | List of groups for the Agent. You can add and remove groups for an Agent using this column, as described in "Adding and removing Agent groups," below. |
| Agent ID | Unique identification of the Agent, hidden by default. |
| Action | Ability to remove offline Agent |
Adding and removing End User Agent groups
Agent groups can be added using the End User Agents grid, as described below. (Agent groups can also be added and removed using the Agent Groups tab in the Groups page.)
- You can add an Agent group to an Agent by clicking in its Agent Group cell, then clicking the drop-down arrow next to "Select groups" and selecting the group you want to add from the drop-down list.
- You can filter the groups list by typing any part of the group name in the Filter agent groups area to display only those groups that match your entry.
- You can create a new group for an Agent by typing the desired name and then clicking the list item with "Create new" shown in parentheses next to the name you entered, as shown in the illustration below.
- You can remove a group from an Agent by clicking the "X" next to the Agent Group name listed for the Agent.

The Server Agents grid, displayed in the lower portion of the Agents page, includes the following information about server agents:
