What is Cloud Services Monitoring
Cloud Services Monitoring tracks how users work with web-based applications and cloud services.
The reports list the amount of time each user has used each monitored service. You can act on this data in the following cases:
| Case | Action | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| The user is not using the service but has an allocated license | Remove allocation from the license | Save unused licenses |
| The user has an allocated license but only uses it for minutes during the whole month | Understand what is the actual usage and consider alternatives | Save licenses that are not fully used |
How to configure URL Monitoring
- Go to EasyAdmin User Interface→ Start→ Administration→ License Manager Servers. The list with all LM will be displayed.
- Select Add License Manager.
- Type in a descriptive title.
- Select the type: Browser.
- Type in the URL address you want to monitor in the Domain field.

By default, the Workstation Agent will report every hour to OpenLM SLM unique cross-browser sessions matching the given URLs.
