License Count Plug-in help

Hi Tim,

On the executing collector there should be a log file for the plugin.  Does that have any more detail?  Another thing you can do is "checkout" the plugin in your client and Build/Test it in the Development interface, this will give you a full stacktrace for any errors occurring during runtime.

Hope that helps,

Hi Tim,

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the license count plugin.  Could you please send myself (michael.beemer@compuware.com) and shawn (shaun.gautz@compuware.com) an email containing as much detail as possible with your configuration?  You're right about the error message being very generic, so we might have to hope on a quick webex to help resolve the issue.

Thanks,

Mike

Great thanks, i'll send you both an email shortly.

It looks as though the license count plug-in is geared more towards system profile. My group is the enterprise wide centralized dynaTrace hosting service and manage 7 dynaTrace infrastructures. I was hoping this tool was a way to run a report by server because we manage 1000’s of licenses and it’s very difficult to keep an inventory. Can one or both of you please comment on how to make this plug-in work at a dynaTrace instance/server level? For example………..

dT instance 1 – total licenses used, total agents not licensed, java agents, .net agents, .net hosts, etc.

This would be extremely helpful for our large implementation.

Thanks,

Rob Herring

Hi guys,

I haven't tested this out yet but it should be possible.  All you would have to do is create the agent overview dashboard on all of your dT servers.  Then, create a unique monitor for the 7+ dT servers on a single system profile using the license count plugin.  

You should then be able to create dashboards and reports from that single profile showing license information from all your servers.  Let me know if you run into any issues and I would be happy to help.

Thanks,

Mike

trying to imagine how i would do that based on the available choices I saw when attempting to configure. I have a meeting for the next half hour. Do you have 15 minutes at any point today to quickly run through this? Thanks, Rob

Sure, shoot me an email when you have a moment.

Can anyone let me know, if there is any way we can find out how many licenses are left after consuming. I know it can be seen by checking dynatrace server—License, but i need to check in dashboard

Also interested in this.   Would seem that if Dynatrace can determine that there are available licenses or not, it should be able to display the counts in a dashboard.

Dynatrace 6.2 provides new out-of-the-box self-monitoring measures. These measures tell you how many licenses are consumed per type (JAva, .NET ,...)
