# AGI32

# Introduction

Open iT supports AGI32 usage reporting by polling the license servers at regular intervals to get the current status of its license use and availability.

For this collection, the data source is through an API. The data collector/preprocessor initiates the license status utility every hour using a 5-minute sample interval, triggering the data collection process. The license status utility requests the current license usage data from the license manager portal. After the license manager portal provides the requested data, the license status utility passes this information to the data collector/preprocessor. The data collector/preprocessor processes the data, preparing it for transmission. Finally, the preprocessed data is sent to the Core Server every night, according to the client's timezone, for further storage, completing the license usage data collection and processing.

This will produce the following aggregated data types used for historical reporting:

• (49) Host User License Use
  
• (93) OLAP Raw Hourly
  
• (94) OLAP User Concurrency
  
• (95) Usergroup License Use v3.0
  
• (102) OLAP Total Use

The following sections will guide you in setting up the necessary configuration to collect and send the required data to the server.

# Requirements

• An Open iT Client connected to an Open iT Server or a coexistent Open iT setup
• Activated LicenseAnalyzer collection and license poller
• Non-SSO AGI32 account with Administrator access to the AGI32 License Portal
• License server administrative rights

# Updating AGI32 Configuration with the AGI32 License Portal Credentials

These steps configure AGI32 to use your credentials.

1. Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.

2. Go to the bin directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin, run the command:

   Command Syntax

    cd $BIN_DIR

   Example

    cd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin

3. Set the Username and Password, run the command:

   Command Syntax

    genlicutil AGI32 /config

4. Type in the username when prompted,

   Example: Entering Username

    Enter username to use: Sample-UsersName

   then press Enter.

5. Type in the password when prompted,

   Example: Entering Password

    Enter password: **********

   then press Enter.

   Open iT saves the hashed AGI32 credential file, AGI32, in the OpeniT directory, which is by default in C:\ProgramData\OpeniT.

# Configuring Data Collection

These are the required steps to activate and configure collection of AGI32 usage data.

1. Go to the Components directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration\Components, and back up the licpoll.xml configuration file.

2. Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.

3. Go to the bin directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin, run the command:

   Command Syntax

    cd $BIN_DIR

   Example

    cd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin

4. Activate the collection of AGI32 data, run the command:

   Command Syntax

    openit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.genericlicense-agi32-sample.active=true"

5. Update the configuration file, run the command:

   Command Syntax

    openit_confbuilder --client

   Make sure no errors are encountered.

Refer to the AGI32 Data Collection Configuration table to learn more about AGI32 configuration in licpoll.xml.

Object Name	Accepted Value	Description
active	Boolean (true or false)	Setting this to true activates AGI32 usage data collection.
type	String (e.g., GenericLicense)	The license manager type.
interval	Timespan (e.g., P30S, P5M, P1H)	The span of time between each polling round (it is recommended to set a value no less than P1M).
offset	Timespan (e.g., P30S, P5M, P1H)	The span of time the aligned poll time decided by interval is shifted.
product-name	String (e.g., server;daemon)	This object is defined if a vendor license name other than the default GenericLicense=%hosttype% will be used.
license-server	String (e.g., hou105win)	The License Server name.
status-command	FileName (i.e., ${OpeniT.directories.bin}/genlicutil)	The binary used to obtain status from the license manager.
status-command.arguments	String (i.e., agi32)	The arguments used for the status command.

AGI32 Data Collection Configuration

# Verifying Data Collection

After configuration, you can verify that the data is collected by following these steps:

1. Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.

2. Go to the bin directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin, run the command:

   Command Syntax

    cd $BIN_DIR

   Example

    cd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin

3. Run the command:

   Command Syntax

    openit_licpoll -# 12

4. Verify that the temp directory, which is by default in C:\ProgramData\OpeniT\Data\temp, contains a LicPoll directory containing .data and status-*.log files.
