How are the licenses visible at Administration > Licensing calculated?
|
The "Highest monthly average capacity for Hosts" (the host count at the top the page) is calculated as follows: - Discovery runs a query every day at 23:00. This query can be seen in Administration > Licensing > Hosts > More Details.
In 25.2, the query is:
search Host where not (host_type has subword 'desktop' or host_type has subword 'client') and not (cloud and nodecount(traverse ContainedHost:HostContainment:HostContainer:VirtualMachine where cloud)) and (nodecount(traverse InferredElement:Inference::DiscoveryAccess) or __resource_unit = 'host' or __resource_unit = 'asset')
- The duplicates are removed. The result is a daily host count. - At the end of the month, an average of the daily host count is calculated. This is used to plot the line on the graph. It will appear in the license report like this: Average numbers per month:
2019-02 - 304 2019-03 - 311 2019-04 - 314 ... - The value used for licensing purposes is the highest month in a 19-month period.
- Discovery runs 2 other queries every day at 23:00. These queries can be seen in Administration > Licensing > Cloud Resources > More Details :
search SoftwareInstance where cloud search VirtualMachine where cloud - The duplicates are removed. The result is a daily cloud resource count. - At the end of the month, an average of the daily cloud resource count is calculated. This is used to plot the line on the graph. It will appear in the license report like this: - The value used for licensing purposes is the highest month in a 19-month period. |
