  • 1.  how to confirm if application metering agent is sending inventory data to NS or not

    Posted Dec 27, 2012 12:22 AM

    Hi,

    We have NS 7.1 SP2.

    I noticed that our executable usage report for one of our licensed applications is not correct. There seems to be no inventory being sent to the NS for the last 3 months. how could I check with the application metering agent if it is sending inventory data (or not) on a regular basis?

     

    thank you in advance,

    Have you looked in Resource Manager for a particular computer under Dataclass Summary?  On the client itself, I am not aware of a location you can look

    You could also use SQL to create a report that will show you the last time your computers collected metering information.  Here is the query.  I can add additional columns if you would like:

     

    SELECT i.Name, r.[Collection Time]

    FROM vRM_Computer_Item i

    LEFT JOIN dbo.Inv_Inventory_Results r    

       ON r.[_ResourceGuid] = i.Guid  

       AND r.Agent = 'Application Metering Agent'

    ORDER BY i.Name

    I found this helped alot in seeing all the NSEs that were being sent and forcing metering to report send events quicker.
