RIB Presto

Follow these steps to configure OpenLM to monitor license usage and retrieve statistics from the RIB Presto License Manager.

Requirements​

Before starting, make sure you have:

  1. OpenLM Server v2x installed on a machine in your organization or an OpenLM Cloud (SLMC) account
  2. OpenLM Broker v23.6 or higher installed on the same machine as RIB Presto

Monitoring capabilities​

RIB Presto is monitored through log file parsing. The Broker reads the log file, compiles the data, and sends it to OpenLM Server for processing.
