The purpose of the feature License Usage Reports is to enable an easy way to keep track of how licensed resources are utilized over time.
Daily peak values and snapshots of currently seized licenses are periodically taken and archived for future use.
The reports are generated at 10:00, 14:00 and periodically every programmed number of hours. The minimum interval is 1 hour, maximum 24 hours.
After midnight the previous day's peak value and reports are packed into a package of daily reports. The reports can be automatically mailed to one or more predefined mail addresses in intervals of 1 day or longer. The mail interval starts at the beginning of, and ends at the end of, each month when a mail is also generated if an interval is programmed.
Reports can also be automatically erased after a programmable length of time.
Each report contains an encrypted authentication checksum to prevent manipulation.
Reports can be manually generated or erased at any time with command.
Reports are stored on the MX-ONE Service Node main server under directory /var/opt/eri_sn/version>/usage_report.
There are no alarms generated if reports are not possible to archive due to disk space shortage or other disk problems.
The command license_reportis used to manage this function, see command description TECHNICAL REFERENCE GUIDE, UNIX COMMANDS for details.
The function is controlled by a license.
Set a license report mail address, with a report interval of 2 hours, and a mail interval of 14 days. If not set, a default time interval and Mitel mail address will be valid.
