Take Control of Your Siemens SALT License Usage with InnoFour

Are you getting the most out of your Siemens SALT licenses? Understanding how licenses are being used is essential for optimizing license investments and ensuring sufficient availability for your users.

InnoFour has developed a step-by-step implementation guideline for setting up a SALT License Usage Monitor using three open-source components: FlexLM Exporter, Prometheus, and Grafana.

The solution collects license usage information directly from your Siemens SALT License Server, stores historical data, and presents it through an intuitive, web-based Grafana dashboard.

With this monitoring solution, you can:

• Monitor license usage in real time, including available and checked-out licenses.
• Analyze historical usage trends to identify peak demand and utilization patterns.
• Identify individual license users and understand which license features are being consumed.
• Optimize license investments based on actual usage rather than assumptions.

Easy to Implement on Your Existing Infrastructure

The solution can be deployed directly on an existing Polarion server or on another server hosting Siemens SALT licenses and a web server. Through the existing HTTPS infrastructure, authorized users can securely access the dashboard without exposing additional monitoring ports.

InnoFour's implementation guidelines cover both Linux and Windows Server, making it straightforward to introduce professional license monitoring without additional commercial monitoring software.
