Monitoring Sentinel Hasp with OpenLM: 4 crucial steps
Installation and Setup
First, you install the OpenLM Broker on the machines where the Sentinel Hasp LM is installed. This agent communicates with the OpenLM Server to provide usage data. During the installation process, you need to configure the Workstation Agent to specify which applications to monitor.
Monitoring Usage
Once the OpenLM Agent is installed and configured, it begins monitoring the applications’ usage on the local machine. It tracks metrics such as when the application is launched, how long it’s in use, and which users use it.
Data Collection
The Workstation Agent periodically collects usage data and sends it to the OpenLM Server for analysis and reporting. This data includes information about license usage patterns, such as peak usage times and user activity.
Reporting and Analysis
On the OpenLM Server, administrators can access a centralized dashboard to view real-time usage data (at 60-second intervals) and generate reports. These reports provide insights into how the standalone applications are used across the organization, helping administrators make informed decisions about license management and optimization.
