eG Manager License Usage Test

eG Licenses governs overall functioning of the eG manager and eG agents. The license optionally enables or disables specific manager capabilities and imposes limits on the extent of monitoring that can be performed by the eG agents. eG Enterprise offers the following types of licenses:

• Server-based licenses

  • OS Monitor

  • Virtualization monitor

  • Application Monitor

  • External Monitor

• User/desktop-based licenses

  • Named user/desktop licensing

  • Concurrent user/desktop licensing

Periodically, administrators should track how licenses are utilized in the target environment, so as to optimize license usage and to plan for growth. This can be achieved using the eG Manager License Usage test!

This test monitors the usage of the types of server and user based licenses, and alerts administrators if the organization is fast running out of any license type. Based on these insights, administrators can determine which licenses are to be replenished quickly to ensure uninterrupted monitoring of the target environment.

This test reports the license type that is being utilized in the target environment and statistics related to license utilization. In the process, the test highlights the following:

• The total number of monitors allowed by the license type;
• The number of basic and premium monitors utilized in the environment;
• The number of servers, applications, services, segments and network devices monitored using the reported license type;
• The number of eG agents;
• The number of virtual desktop users allowed by each license type and the number of virtual desktop user licenses consumed and available for use;
• The number of O365 users/endpoint/thin client licenses allowed by each license type and the number of same licenses consumed and available for use;
• The number of days by which the licenses of each type will expire.

This test is disabled by default. To enable the test, go to the enable / disable tests page using the menu sequence : Agents -> Tests -> Enable/Disable, pick the desired Component type, set Performance as the Test type, choose the test from the disabled tests list, and click on the < button to move the test to the ENABLED TESTS list. Finally, click the Update button.

Target of the test : eG Manager

Agent deploying the test : An internal/remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the eG manager being monitored

Configurable parameters for the test

Parameter	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed .
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The port number at which the specified host listens.
Manager URL	By default, this parameter is set to none indicating that this test monitors the license usage of the eG manager being utilized for monitoring the target environment. On the other hand, if you are monitoring another eG manager in the target environment, then specify the URL of the target eG manager in this text box to determine its license usage. For example, https://191.16.10.15:7077

Measurements made by the test

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
License type	Indicates the type of the eG monitoring license.		The values that this measure reports and the numeric values that correspond to them have been discussed in the table below: Measure Value Numeric Value Server Based 0 Server & Named Users Based 1 Server & Concurrent Users Based 2 Note: By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the license type of the manager. In the graph of this measure however, the same will be represented using the numeric equivalents only.
Total monitors allowed	Indicates the total number of eG monitors allowed for the license type.	Number
Total monitors in use	Indicates the number of eG monitors consumed in the target environment.	Number	A low value is preferred for this measure.
Total monitors available	Indicates the number of eG monitors available for use.	Number	Ideally, a high value is preferred for this measure.
Percent total monitors available	Indicates the percentage of eG monitors available for use.	Percent	Ideally, a high value is preferred for this measure.
Premium monitors allowed	Indicates the total number of premium monitors allowed by the license type.	Number
Premium monitors consumed	Indicates the number of premium monitors consumed in the target environment.	Number	A low value is preferred for this measure.
Premium monitors available	Indicates the number of premium monitors available for use.	Number	Ideally, a high value is preferred for this measure.
Percent premium monitors available	Indicates the percentage of premium monitors available for use.	Percent	Ideally, a high value is preferred for this measure.
Basic monitors allowed	Indicates the total number of basic monitors allowed by the license type.	Number
Basic monitors consumed	Indicates the number of basic monitors consumed in the target environment.	Number	A low value is preferred for this measure.
Basic monitors available	Indicates the number of basic monitors available for use.	Number	Ideally, a high value is preferred for this measure.
Digital workspace user/machine licenses allowed	Indicates the total number of digital workspace user/machines allowed by the license type.	Number
Digital workspace user/machine licenses in use	Indicates the number of digital workspace user/machine licenses that are currently in use in the target environment.	Number	A low value is preferred for this measure.
Digital workspace user/machine licenses available	Indicates the number of digital workspace user/machine licenses available for use in the target environment.	Number	Ideally, a high value is preferred for this measure.
External agents	Indicates the total number of external agents used in the target environment.	Number
Monitored targets	Indicates the total number of targets monitored in the target environment.	Number
Applications	Indicates the number of applications monitored in the target environment.	Number
Network devices	Indicates the total number of network devices monitored in the target environment.	Number
Segments	Indicates the total number of segments monitored in the target environment.	Number
Services	Indicates the total number of services monitored in the target environment.	Number
Monitor users	Indicates the total number of targets monitored in the target environment.	Number
License expiry	Indicates the number of days by which the license will expire.	Days	A very low value for this measure indicates that the license is nearing expiry. You may have to request for a license extension if you want to continue monitoring the target components. If the value of this measure is 9999, it indicates that the license type has no expiry.
Endpoint licenses allowed	Indicates the total number of Endpoint licenses allowed by the license type.	Number	The Endpoints are monitored using the premium monitors. This measure is applicable to Server- Named Users-Based and Server- Concurrent Users Based license types only.
Endpoint licenses in use	Indicates the number of Endpoint licenses that are currently in use.	Number	The Endpoints are monitored using the premium monitors. A low value is preferred for this measure.
Endpoint licenses available	Indicates the number of Endpoint licenses that are available for use in the license type.	Number	The Endpoints are monitored using the premium monitors. Ideally, a high value is preferred for this measure.
O365 users licenses allowed	Indicates the total number of O365 user licenses allowed by the license type.	Number	The O365 users are monitored using the premium monitors.
O365 users licenses in use	Indicates the number of O365 user licenses consumed in the target environment.	Number	The O365 users are monitored using the premium monitors. A low value is preferred for this measure.
O365 users licenses available	Indicates the number of O365 user licenses available for use.	Number	The O365 users are monitored using the premium monitors. Ideally, a high value is preferred for this measure.
Percent O365 user licenses available	Indicates the percentage of O365 user licenses available for use.	Percent	The O365 users are monitored using the premium monitors. Ideally, a high value is preferred for this measure.
