OpenLM Broker configuration

OpenLM Broker must already be installed and configured to report to OpenLM before proceeding:
- Navigate to your Broker from any convenient browser by accessing http://localhost:5090 (or incremental, for example 5091,5092), if the default 5090 port is occupied).
- Select the License Managers tab.
- Click Add License Manager. A pop-up appears.
- From the drop-down list, select Parasoft.
- Enter the Parasoft port number (e.g. 889). Click ADD.
- Select the Vendors tab. Click Add Vendor. In the pop-up that appears, enter the Vendor name—Parasoft—and click Continue.
- Switch to the Log Files tab. Click Add Log File. Make sure the Watch file by pattern is turned off. Note you can add multiple logs. Click CONTINUE.
- Click SAVE.
OpenLM configuration
If you have followed the steps in the section above, the OpenLM Broker should now transmit data to the OpenLM. The final step is to approve the configuration in EasyAdmin User Interface:
- Access your EasyAdmin User Interface. Navigate to Start → Widgets → License Manager Servers
- In the License Servers window, click on the There are Servers Pending Approval icon.
- Double-click on the pending license manager.
- Note that it is displayed as OpenLM Generic.
- Verify the configurations and click APPROVE.
At this point, the Parasoft has been automatically added to OpenLM Server, and the configuration is complete. It will take a few moments for the data to be parsed and available. The green circle will confirm the status.
How to verify your Parasoft configuration
To check if the Parasoft server is being monitored correctly:
- Open the EasyAdmin user interface in your browser.
- Click EasyAdmin Start → Widgets → License Servers. Verify that the configured license manager(s) appears in the server list. A green circle node indicates an active connection to the license server.
Please note that if this is a new connection, it may take up to 3 minutes for the status indicator to change.
