Intergraph Usage Monitoring
About Intergraph
Intergraph, now part of Hexagon, provides engineering and geospatial software used in various industries, including plant design, shipbuilding, and public safety. Its products are often used for complex, high-value projects. Monitoring Intergraph usage is crucial for cost optimization and ensuring that expensive licenses are utilized effectively. This is similar to monitoring other engineering and design platforms like Bentley or Autodesk Cloud.
Prerequisites
To begin monitoring Intergraph, ensure you have the following components and permissions in place:
- OpenLM Components: OpenLM Cloud Broker and OpenLM SLM are required.
- Platform-specific Requirements: You'll need administrative access to your Intergraph license server or a central management portal to generate the necessary API keys or configuration files.
