OSKA

OpenLM supports monitoring of the OSKA License Manager to provide reliable license reports and usage statistics.
The OSKA license server generates a periodic XML file, which OpenLM parses to present usage data in EasyAdmin.

Prerequisites

Monitoring OSKA requires:

• OpenLM Broker installed on the OSKA license server machine.
• OpenLM Server installed on any Windows machine in the network (can be the same OSKA server).

The Broker queries the OSKA license server locally and sends data to the OpenLM Server.
