Monitor monitors tools with licenses using live sampling and debug logs for denials, and it monitors tools with no licenses
using wrapper scrips and a monitoring agent.
This section explains how to use Monitor to answer common questions. In most cases, there isn’t one answer to a question. Some investigation is required.
The Current tab shows a summary of features with active checkouts the moment the page is loaded. By hiding the features
that have no usage, this page shows the location of the license activity.
The License Server page shows a list of all license servers that are configured to be monitored, along with the status and basic availability
and utilization statistics.
The Current Checkouts page shows all checkouts for all tags and features at the time the page was loaded. The checkouts are sorted by their

The Expirations page provides an overview of upcoming license
feature expirations that have been detected in the licensing environment.
A drop-down menu is provided to select the time frame to consider when viewing
expirations. By default, the view is collapsed to the tag level. The view can be
expanded to the feature level by click on the expand/collapse (+/-) icons next to
the tag name. This view shows all the features that have an upcoming expiration
detected, as well as the number of features that are expiring, the time left until
expiration, the expiration date, and the total number of tokens that will be
expiring: Figure 1. Expirations Page
