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

## Requirements

To query JetBrains FLS, install:

1. **OpenLM Server v5.6 or higher** (or OpenLM Cloud)  
2. **OpenLM Broker v4.10 or higher** on the same machine as JetBrains FLS  

## Monitoring capabilities

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

| Feature                  | Resolution | License totals | License usage | Denials | Borrowed licenses | Expiration dates | Redundancy |
|---------------------------|------------|----------------|---------------|---------|-------------------|------------------|-------------|
| **Supported**             | By minute  | ✔              | ✔             | ❌      | ❌                | ❌               | ❌          |

Using Broker also allows:

- Buffered communication with OpenLM Server  
- Remote start/stop of the license manager service  

## OpenLM Broker configuration

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

:::note
Before continuing, ensure Broker is [installed](https://www.openlm.com/application-notes-v3-0/installing-openlm-v3-0/broker-comprehensive-installation-guide-an4004b/) and [configured](https://www.openlm.com/Knowledgebase%20and%20articles/openlm-broker-configuration/) 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`.  
2. If no token is configured, follow the [JetBrains guide](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/license_server/detailed_server_usage_statistics.html?s=quick&section=Windows#statistics-via-API). Save the token—you’ll need it for the **data_inquiry** command.  

### Automatic Broker configuration

1. In Broker, click **Detect**.  

2. If JetBrains FLS is running, Broker detects and configures most settings automatically.  
3. Manually verify by going to **Commands → data_query → Execute**.  

### Manual Broker configuration

If autodetect fails:

1. Click **Add Port**.  
2. Enter the JetBrains FLS port (default: 8080).  
3. From **Type**, select **JetBrains**. Click **Apply**.  
4. In **Commands**, set the **Update path for commands** to the JetBrains FLS root folder. Click **Update → Apply**.  
5. Open **data_inquiry**. Replace `<TOKEN>` with the JetBrains token. Example:  

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

  Click **Execute → Apply**.  

6. Under **Vendors**, set **Vendor Name = JetBrains**. Click **Apply**.  
7. Click **Restart Broker**.  

## OpenLM Server configuration

### Automatic through EasyAdmin

If Broker is transmitting data, approve it in EasyAdmin:

1. Open EasyAdmin:  
- Browser: `http://<OpenLM Server>:5015`  
- Or Windows Start → OpenLM → EasyAdmin  
2. In **License Manager Servers**, click **There are # servers pending approval**.  

3. Edit the pending LM entry. Update the **Display name** if desired.  

4. Click **Approve**.  

5. JetBrains FLS is now added to OpenLM Server.  

### Manual configuration

If automatic approval fails:

1. In **Server Configuration → License Servers**, click **Add**.  
2. From **Type**, select **OpenLM Generic**.  
3. In **Description**, enter a name (for example, `JetBrains FLS`).  
4. Set the correct **Time Zone**.  
5. Enter the JetBrains FLS **Hostname** and **Port** (default: 8080).  
6. Leave **Is Triad Configuration** unchecked.  
7. Check **Use Broker**.  
8. Click **Save**.  

## Verify the configuration

1. Open **EasyAdmin** at `http://<OpenLM Server hostname>:5015`.  
2. Go to **Start → Widgets → License Manager Servers**.  
3. Confirm JetBrains FLS appears in the list.  
4. A **green Up to date** icon means the server is active.  

:::note
When adding a new connection, the status indicator may take up to **3 minutes** to update.
