Esri Cloud
#
Introduction
Open iT supports Esri Cloud usage reporting. The following sections will guide you on the required configuration for
#
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 Esri cloud account with Administrator access to the Esri Portal
Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT client.
#
Setting up Esri Cloud Data Collection
These are the required steps to set up data collection from the Esri portal.
Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
Go to the bin directory, which is by default in
C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
, run the command:Command Syntaxcd $BIN_DIR
Examplecd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
Run the command:
Command Syntaxopenit_esristat --init --base-url <esri_url> --username <esri_username> --password <esri_password>
where:
Parameters for Setting Up Esri Cloud Data Collection
Exampleopenit_esristat --init --base-url https://portal.arcgis.com/ --username jsmith@email.com --password esriAdm!n123
This example shows how to specify the necessary authentication credentials for accessing the Esri Cloud (https://portal.arcgis.com/) using the administrator account jsmith@email.com and the password esriAdm!n123.
Open iT saves the hashed Esri Cloud credential file,
esristat.ini
, in the OpeniT directory, which is by default inC:\ProgramData\OpeniT
.

Configuring License Manager Utility Polling
Open iT supports Esri Cloud 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
#
Activating Data Collection
These are the required steps to activate collection of usage data.
Go to the Components directory, which is by default in
C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration\Components
, and back up thelicpoll.xml
configuration file.Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
Go to the bin directory, which is by default in
C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
, run the command:Command Syntaxcd $BIN_DIR
Examplecd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
Once in the directory, activate the collection of Esri Cloud data, run the command:
Command Syntaxopenit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.genericlicense-esri-sample.active=true"
Run the following command to update the configuration files:
Command Syntaxopenit_confbuilder --client
Make sure no errors are encountered.
Refer to the Esri Cloud Data Collection Configuration table to learn more about Esri Cloud configuration in licpoll.xml
.
#
Verifying Data Collection
After configuration, you can verify that the data is collected by following these steps:
Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
Go to the bin directory, which is by default in
C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
, run the command:Command Syntaxcd $BIN_DIR
Examplecd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
Run the command:
Command Syntaxopenit_licpoll -# 1
Verify that the temp directory, which is by default in
C:\ProgramData\OpeniT\Data\temp
, contains aLicPoll
directory containing.data
andstatus-*.log
files.
#
Configuring Poll Parsing
Open iT supports Esri Cloud product assignment reporting by poll parsing.
For this collection, the data source is through an API. The license status utility/data preprocessor requests the product assignment information from the license manager portal every midnight, triggering the data collection process. After the license manager portal provides the requested information, the license status utility/data preprocessor processes the data, preparing it for transmission. Finally, the product assignment data is sent to the Core Server for further storage, completing the product assignment data collection and processing.
This will produce the following aggregated data types used for historical reporting:
#
Activating Data Collection
These are the required steps to activate the collection of product assignment data.
Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
Go to the bin directory, which is by default in
C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
, run the command:Command Syntaxcd $BIN_DIR
Examplecd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
Once in the directory, activate the collection of Esri product assignment data, run the command:
Command Syntaxopenit_oconfinit -u "collect_license_esri-cloud.root.scheduler.jobs.collect_esri_cloud.general.active=true"
The collection runs every midnight by default. To configure the intervals, locate the instances
attribute under collect_esri_cloud
, transfer_esri_cloud_raw
, or transfer_esri_cloud_parsed
in the same file and configure the attributes.
Refer to the Esri Cloud Job Scheduler Instances Configuration table to learn the attributes used to configure Esri Cloud usage data collection and transfer.
#
Verifying Data Collection
After configuration, you can verify that the data is collected and sent to the server by following these steps:
Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
Go to the bin directory, which is by default in
C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
, run the command:Command Syntaxcd $BIN_DIR
Examplecd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
Run the command:
Command Syntaxopenit_executor -r collect_license_esri-cloud
Verify that there are
archiver*.in
files created in the server in the archiver directory, which is by default inC:\ProgramData\OpeniT\Data\incoming\archiver
.
