Observe License Usage

Observing and managing licenses on Controller Tenant UI differs according to the AppDynamics licenses you purchased. If you purchased licenses in the Infrastructure-based Licensing model, your UI displays usage data based on a unified package metering unit, compared to licenses within the Agent-based model, which displays data based on an agent metering unit. See AppDynamics Licensing.

License Summary Dashboard

The License Summary Dashboard displays high-level usage for all your licenses within a 24-hour period. To access the License Summary dashboard, go to Settings > License.

Metric Descriptions

• Overall Max License Units: The most licenses consumed within an hour, within a 24-hour period. For example, in a 24-hour period, 100 units were consumed in the first hour, then 200 units in the second hour, 300 units in the third hour, and 300 units in the fourth hour. The Overall Max License Units would be 300 units because that's the highest number of units within an hour, within a 24-hour period. After 24 hours, the meter restarts for the next period.

• Overall Daily Average License Units: The average number of units consumed within a 24-hour period. For example, if in a 24-hour period, 100 units were consumed in the first hour, 200 units in the second hour, 300 units in the third hour, and 300 units in the fourth hour, the Overall Daily Average License Units would be 225 units (total units/# of consuming hours = Ave.). After 24 hours, the meter restarts for the next period.
• Current Daily Business Transaction Units (Enterprise licenses only): The total number of units consumed within a 24-hour period. For example, if you bought one unit of the Enterprise license, the Current Daily Business Transaction Units would show how many events have been consumed out of 400,000,000 events allowed for a 24-hour period. After 24 hours, the meter restarts for the next period.

Usage Over Time

For Enterprise, Premium, or Infrastructure licenses, the Usage Over Time graph shows consumption by agent, application, host, and license unit. For Real User Monitoring licenses, you can filter by metering unit: RUM Token, Pageviews, License Units, and Mobile Active Agents.

Analytics

For Enterprise licenses, the Analytics graph shows consumption by business transaction event, compared to the total event limit. You can adjust the graph data by filtering by date and time range and toggling between viewing max usage or average usage.

License Rule Usage

License rules define the allocation of the license units. There are two ways to view license rule usage on the Controller Tenant UI:

From the License Summary dashboard

1. Click on a license.
2. Scroll down to Associated License Rules to view a list of associated license rules and the volume of Enterprise unit consumption across those rules.
   

From the License Rules dashboard

1. Click a license rule.
2. Review the allocated licenses, usage of each license within the rule, and other rule details.
3. Click View Connected Agents to see agents connected to the rule and application and server scopes.

Account Usage Dashboard

To view license usage, go to Settings > License.

Click on a license to view consumption limits. The graphs show the cumulative license usage over the time period you specify, even though the license usage count is reset daily. To view your license usage for one day, set the time range to 23 hours and 59 seconds.
