Host availability

To check whether your license servers are reachable, open the Host availability report. It lists the host names, the ports each host uses, and their corresponding host status, so you can monitor server connectivity.

In the product this report is the Host Availability sheet of the Active Analytics dashboard.

The following screenshot shows the table of monitored endpoints with their ports and reachability:

The Host availability table lists every monitored endpoint with its port and reachability, sorted by status.

Visualizations

The report has the following visualization:

• Host Availability Details: Use this table to see which license servers are online and accessible. It lists each server's Host Name, the Port it uses to communicate, and its Host Status. Values displayed:
  • Host Name: The network name or IP address of the license server.
  • Port: The specific communication channel on which the host is listening for license requests.
  • Host Status: Indicates whether the host is reachable. The value is written out as text: UP when the host answered, DOWN when it was reached but refused or failed the check, and Not Available when no status has been collected for that endpoint.

Interpreting this report

Use these points to read the report:

• DOWN means monitoring stops, not only a service outage for users. Usage and denials from that endpoint are not collected while it is down, so gaps in other reports line up with the outage window.
• Each row is one port, not one machine. A host that serves several license managers appears once per port. One port DOWN while another is UP on the same host points at a specific daemon rather than the machine or network.
• Not Available is an unknown, not a failure: OpenLM Platform has not collected a status for that endpoint. If it persists, verify the server's connection settings rather than the server itself.
• The same reachability information, joined with server type, appears in Report summary.
