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

## Before you begin

Before starting, make sure you have:

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

## Monitoring capabilities

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

## Configure OpenLM Broker
