Follow these steps to configure OpenLM to monitor license usage and retrieve license statistics.

## Before you begin

- OpenLM Platform

- OpenLM Broker v25.x or higher installed on the same machine as FVA-Workbench, and approve it in [Broker Hub](https://openlm.com/documentation/cloud/data-collection/broker-hub).

## Monitoring capabilities

The current monitoring capabilities for FVA-Workbench through the OpenLM Broker are:

| Commands | Logs | Quantity | Expiration date | Denied | Borrowing | Report resolution |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Yes | No | Yes | Yes | No | No | By minute |

Using the Broker also allows buffered communication and allows remote start and stop of the license manager service.

## Configure OpenLM Broker

*OpenLM Broker queries the license manager locally. Once collected, the data is sent to OpenLM Server for processing.*

Note: OpenLM Broker must already be installed and configured to report to OpenLM Server before proceeding.

### Add manually
- In the Broker web UI, click License Managers.

1. Click Add license manager.

1. In the Add license manager dialog, enter the FVA-Workbench LM port number.

1. From the LM type drop-down, select FVA.

*Select the Commands tab. Under Data Inquiry, click Execute to verify that the output is correct.*

*Switch to the Vendors tab. Click Add Vendor, enter FVA-Workbench in the Vendor Name field, and click Continue.*

1. Select the Advanced tab and enter the FVA-Workbench login and password.

*Alternatively, navigate to C:\Program Files\OpenLM\OpenLM Broker\lmsettings\fva.properties and enter the credentials manually. Restart the Broker service if you use this method.*
