The FlexLM license manager produces Debug log files, which hold status information and error messages that are useful for debugging its activity. In version 11.12 Flexera added a few changes to the Debug logs; namely a set of global information entries that relate to the lmgrd daemon and to specific vendor daemons. These are referred to as SLOG: Summary Log statistics.
SLOG for lmgrd #
SLOG entries for the lmgrd daemon are prefixed by (@lmgrd-SLOG@).
These include:
- Start timestamp
- Version
- ProcessID
- Network Info (IPv4/IPv6 interface, License manager port)
- Command-line options
- list of license files
- Is the license server running as a Windows’ service.

SLOG for vendor daemons #
Debug logs may be split and redirected according to Vendor daemons. This facilitates zooming in on vendor specific data. Vendor daemon specific SLOG entries are prefixed by (@<vendor>-SLOG@). These include:
- Start timestamp
- Version
- ProcessID
- Network info (IPv4/IPv6 interface, listening port, select timeout of vendor daemon)
- Vendor daemon name
- Options file used
- Trusted storage accessed (yes/no)
- Host name
- Virtual/physical environment
- (limited) Hypervisor info if virtual
- Lmbind used (yes/no)
- Number of restarts of the Vendor daemon since lmgrd startup
- Number of rereads since vendor daemon was started (or restarted)
- Last reread time
- Reread initiation type (automatic versus lmreread).
Every 4 hours (and at vendor daemon shutdown) the following performance data entries are also logged:
- Details of the 10 peak client transactions (including client hostname, user, transaction time, concurrent clients at time of transaction, memory usage (Windows only))
- Peak concurrent clients served
- High watermark memory usage (for Windows only)
- Transaction time for the last 10 transactions.
