# JetBrains Floating License Manager

# Introduction

Open iT supports JetBrains usage reporting through the generic license type format. This will produce the following aggregated data types used for historical reporting:

(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.

Apply the configurations in the Open iT client.

# Requirements

Configured JetBrains License Server
Valid URL with the port number of the JetBrains API
The unique token used for JetBrains authentication
An Open iT Client connected to an Open iT Server or a coexistent Open iT setup
Activated LicenseAnalyzer collection and license poller

# Configuring Data Collection

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

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.
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 Syntax
```
 cd $BIN_DIR
```
Example
```
 cd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
```
Once in the directory, copy the object node genericlicense-sample and rename it to your desired name. In this example, we will use jetbrains. Run the command:
Command Syntax
```
 openit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.genericlicense-sample=>licpoll.license-types.jetbrains"
```
Element names cannot contain parentheses ( or ) because they are not valid for XML element names.
Activate the collection of JetBrains data, run the command:
Command Syntax
```
 openit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.jetbrains.active=true"
```

Set the arguments to the status command, run the command:

Command Syntax
 openit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.jetbrains.status-command.arguments=JetBrains <api_url> /token:<token>"

where:
<api_url> is the corresponding valid URL with the port number of the JetBrains API.
<token> is a unique token used for authentication.

Example
 openit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.jetbrains.status-command.arguments=JetBrains http://localhost:8080 /token:abcdefgh12345678ijklmnop"

Update the configuration file, run the command:
Command Syntax
```
 openit_confbuilder --client
```
Make sure that there are no errors encountered.

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

Object Name	Accepted Value	Description
active	Boolean (`true` or `false`)	Setting this to `true` activates JetBrains 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 (e.g., `JetBrains http://localhost:8080 /token:abcdefgh12345678ijklmnop`)	The arguments used for the status command. Use the format `JetBrains <api_url> /token:<token>`.

JetBrains Data Collection Configuration

# 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 Syntax
```
 cd $BIN_DIR
```
Example
```
 cd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin
```
Run the command:
Command Syntax
```
 openit_licpoll -# 1
```
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.
