Scope

This document describes the steps required to interface the L3Harris with OpenLM. The aim is to monitor license usage and obtain license statistics.

Requirements

To query the L3Harris license manager the following components must be installed:

1. An OpenLM SLMC account or OpenLM Server v24 or higher installed on a machine in your organization
2. OpenLM Broker v24.4.5 or higher installed on the same machine as the L3Harris.

Monitoring capabilities and features

The current monitoring capabilities available for L3Harris through the OpenLM Broker are as follows:

The Broker component allows for buffered communication and the ability to remotely start/stop the license manager service.

OpenLM Broker configuration

Diagram of how OpenLM interfaces with the L3Harris

Broker reads the L3HarrisLicense Manager log file. Once read, the data is compiled and sent to the OpenLM Server for processing.

Please note that OpenLM Broker must already be installed and configured to report to OpenLM Server before proceeding further.

Configure the OpenLM Broker to monitor L3Harris using Broker UI

1. Access your Broker UI in the Chrome/Edge/Firefox e.g: http://localhost:5090/.
2. Navigate to the License Managers tab → Add License Manager. A pop-up appears.
3. From the drop-down list select LM type L3Harris and enter the Port number. Although the port number is not used for capturing data, however, it must be defined as it is required by Server for Licensing purposes.
4. Click ADD.
   
5. Click Commands tab. Browse to the root folder where the L3Harris log file is located. Click Apply.
6. In the Executable path field input the actual path executable on the L3Harris license server.
7. Switch to the Vendors tab. Set the name correctly.
8. Switch to the Log Files tab. Click Add Log File. The ADD LOG FILE pop-up appears.
9. Configure the Log File Definition screen as follows:
   Log Type – Usage Log
   Log name (Descriptive) – a name to help you identify the purpose of the log
   Log Path – click on the magnifier button and navigate to the logs folder where your installation of L3Harrisis located.
   Vendor – select the Vendor that you have defined in the Vendors tab (by default: “Vendor Name to Be Filled”).Advanced:
   Set data size limit (kb) – default 100.
   Read file every (sec) – default 10.
   Watch File By Pattern toggle -off.
   Encoding – windows-152
10. Click CONTINUE.
    
11. Click on SAVE.

OpenLM Server configuration

Automatic OpenLM Server configuration through EasyAdmin

If you have followed the steps in the section above, OpenLM Broker should now be transmitting data to OpenLM Server. The final step is to approve the configuration in EasyAdmin:

1. Open the EasyAdmin interface either by accessing http://<OpenLM Server IP>:5015/ in your browser or through Windows Start → OpenLM → OpenLM EasyAdmin User Interface.
2. In the License Servers window, click in the Servers pending approval.
   
3. Click on the L3Harris Server entry and click Approve.

At this point, the L3Harris has been automatically added to OpenLM Server and configuration is complete.

How to verify your L3Harris License Monitor configuration

To check if the L3HarrisLicense Server is being monitored correctly:

1. Open the EasyAdmin User Interface (access http://<OpenLM Server IP>:5015 in your browser)
2. 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 sometimes it may take up to 3 minutes for the status indicator to change if this is a new connection.
