Introduction
Open iT supports Materialise usage reporting through the generic license type format. This will produce the following aggregated data types used for historical and real-time 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.
Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT client.
#
Requirements
- An Open iT Client connected to an Open iT Server or a coexistent Open iT setup
- Activated LicenseAnalyzer collection and license poller
- Configured Materialise License Server
- License server administrative rights
#
Configuring Data Collection
These are the required steps to activate and configure collection of Materialise 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 Materialise data, run the command:
Command Syntaxopenit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.genericlicense-materialise-sample.active=true"
Set the license server name and port used by the Materialise License Server, run the command:
Command Syntaxopenit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.genericlicense-materialise-sample.license-server=<hostname:portnumber>"
Exampleopenit_confinit -c "licpoll.license-types.genericlicense-materialise-sample.license-server=osl120win:27000"
Update the configuration file, run the command:
Command Syntaxopenit_confbuilder --client
Make sure that there are no errors encountered.
These instructions assume that your etc directory is in /var/opt/openit
.
Go to the Components directory, which is by default in
/var/opt/openit/etc/Components
, and back up thelicpoll.xml
configuration file.Go to the bin directory, which is by default in
/opt/openit/bin
, run the command:Command Syntaxcd $BIN_DIR
Examplecd /opt/openit/bin
Once in the directory, activate the collection of Materialise data, run the command:
Command Syntax./openit_confinit -r /var/opt/openit/ -d /var/opt/openit/etc/ -c "licpoll.license-types.genericlicense-materialise-sample.active=true"
Set the license server name and port used by the Materialise License Server, run the command:
Command Syntax./openit_confinit -r /var/opt/openit/ -d /var/opt/openit/etc/ -c "licpoll.license-types.genericlicense-materialise-sample.license-server=<hostname:portnumber>"
Example./openit_confinit -r /var/opt/openit/ -d /var/opt/openit/etc/ -c "licpoll.license-types.genericlicense-materialise-sample.license-server=osl120win:27000"
Update the configuration file, run the command:
Command Syntax./openit_confbuilder --client
Make sure that there are no errors encountered.

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.
Go to the bin directory, which is by default in
/opt/openit/bin
, run the command:Command Syntaxcd $BIN_DIR
Examplecd /opt/openit/bin
Run the command:
Command Syntax./openit_licpoll -# 1
Verify that the temp directory, which is by default in
/var/opt/openit/temp
, contains aLicPoll
directory containing.data
andstatus-*.log
