Bentley
Bentley provides software solutions for civil engineering, architecture, construction, and infrastructure. Products like MicroStation and OpenRoads are widely used for designing and managing large-scale projects.
Before you begin
To begin monitoring Bentley, ensure you have the following components and permissions in place:
- OpenLM components: OpenLM Cloud Broker, approved in Broker Hub.
- Platform-specific Requirements: You'll need administrative access to your Bentley license management system (for example, SELECTserver or CONNECT Licensing) to generate API keys or tokens with permissions to access usage data.
Configure data collection
- Activate API Access: In the Bentley administrator portal, create an API key with read access for license and user data.
- Add Credentials: In the OpenLM Cloud Broker dashboard, find the Bentley integration and enter user name and password.
