Licensing Preferences

By default, a user receives email/SMS alerts for all issues pertaining to all components assigned to him/her. In some virtual environments, administrators may want to keep track on the license utilization as well as the license information on a daily basis. To cater to the needs of such administrators, eG Enterprise provides eG Enterprise provides with the option to configure the eG manager to send out email/sms alerts related to license validity and license utilization. Besides, the administrators may also be alerted on the license utilization pertaining to each zone configured in their environment.

To avail such selective alerting on license validity and license information, first, click the License node of the Settings tree. This will open the LICENSE PREFERENCES section in the right panel. Here, set the License validity mail alert flag to Enable. This will allow the administrators to receive email alerts on the validity of the eG manager license. Once the License validity mail alert flag is set to Enable, administrators would be required to provide the number of days prior to which they would wish to be alerted on license expiry. For this, specify the number of days before which you should be alerted about the license expiry against the Alert users text box. By default, the eG manager sends out the email alert before 7 days to license expiry.

Note:

The email alert will be sent once in a day.

Likewise, to be alerted on the license utilization, set the License usage mail alert flag in the LICENSE USAGE section to Enable. Once this flag is enabled, administrators need to specify the dates on which the alert should be received. To specify the dates, specify a comma-separated list of dates(ranging from 1 to 31) against the Alerts on text box. Then, specify a comma-separated list of email IDs to which the email alerts have to be sent in the Send alert to text box. Similarly, if administrators wish to be alerted to the license utilization in each zone configured in their environment, then, they can set the Zone usage mail alert to Enable.
