This guide describes how to monitor the JetBrains Floating License Server (FLS) with OpenLM to obtain license statistics.

## Before you begin

To query JetBrains FLS, install:

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

## Monitoring capabilities

The following table shows the monitoring capabilities available for JetBrains FLS through OpenLM Broker:

| Report resolution | License totals | License usage | Denials | Borrowed licenses | Expiration dates | Redundancy |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| By minute | Yes | Yes | No | No | No | No |

Using Broker also allows:

- Buffered communication with OpenLM Server

- Remote start/stop of the license manager service

## Configure OpenLM Broker

*Broker queries JetBrains FLS locally over its HTTP port and sends the data to OpenLM Server.*

Before continuing, ensure Broker is installed and configured to report to OpenLM Server.

### Locate the JetBrains FLS token

Broker requires the JetBrains reporting token to read license usage data.

1. If a token is already configured, Broker autodetect reads it from service-config.properties.

1. If no token is configured, follow the JetBrains guide. Save the token-you'll need it for the data_inquiry command.

### Manual Broker configuration

If autodetect fails:

1. Open Broker UI at http://localhost:5090/.

1. Go to License Managers → Add License Manager.

1. Enter the JetBrains FLS port (default: 8080).

1. From Type, select JetBrains. Click Apply.

1. In Commands, set the Update path for commands to the JetBrains FLS root folder. Click Update → Apply.

1. Open data_inquiry. Replace `<TOKEN>` with the JetBrains token. Example:

    ```text
    http://localhost:8080/licenses-report.json?token=283xxs8zum
    http://localhost:8080/tickets-report.json?token=283xxs8zum
    ```

    Click Execute → Apply.

1. Under Vendors, set Vendor Name = JetBrains. Click Apply.

1. Click Restart Broker.

## Approve JetBrains in OpenLM Platform

1. Sign in to OpenLM Platform.
2. From the menu, go to **License Servers** → **Pending Server**.
3. Select the JetBrains license manager, then select **Approve and Merge**.

## Verify the integration

1. In OpenLM Platform, go to **License Servers Live** → **Server Statistics**.
2. Confirm JetBrains appears with a green status indicator.

:::note
It can take up to 3 minutes for the status to update for a new connection.
