Measures reported by AppVolLicenseTest

In large virtualized environments, the VMware App Volumes Manager is used to provision desktops/servers on the go to the users. The provisioning of the desktops/servers mainly depends on the number of licenses that are available. The licensing also depends on the number of users accessing the desktops through the App Volumes Manager in your environment. The validity and usage of these licenses needs to be tracked closely, so that any potential license shortage / expiry can be proactively detected and prevented. This is because, without adequate licenses, users will not be able to use the desktops/servers/applications hosted through the VMware App Volumes Manager. This is where the AppVolLicenseTest test helps!

This test reports the validity of the license, the count of user licenses allocated and the user licenses used. In addition, this test reports the count of terminal users, server and desktop licenses allocated and the usage of the terminal user licenses, server and desktop licenses in detail. On the basis of these usage values, the test also auto-computes and reports the overall individual license usage percentage, thus proactively alerting to any potential license shortage. Using this test administrators can easily detect an impending license expiry.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Licens_valid Indicates the number of days for which the license is valid. Number If the license obtained is a perpetual license, then, this measure will report the value as Unlimited.
Tot_user Indicates the total number of user licenses allocated. Number  
Used_user Indicates the number of user licenses that are currently in use. Number

If the value of this measure is inching close to or is equal to the Total users measure, then, it indicates that the user licenses are exhausted.

Administrators should either purchase new licenses or prohibit certain users from accessing the VMware App Volumes Manager.
User_usage Indicates the percentage of user licenses that is currently in use. Percent A value close to 100 indicates that the licenses are being exhausted rapidly.
Tot_conuser Indicates the total number of concurrent user licenses that are allocated for use. Number  
Used_conuser Indicates the number of concurrent user licenses that are currently in use. Number

If the value of this measure is inching close to or is equal to the Total concurrent users measure, then, it indicates that the user licenses are exhausted.

Administrators should either purchase new licenses or prohibit certain users from accessing the VMware App Volumes Manager.
Conuser_usage Indicates the percentage of concurrent user licenses that is currently in use. Percent A value close to 100 indicates that the licenses are being exhausted rapidly.
Tot_termaluser Indicates the number of terminal user licenses allocated for use. Number  
Used_termaluser Indicates the number of terminal user licenses that are currently in use. Number

If the value of this measure is inching close to or is equal to the Total terminal users measure, then, it indicates that the user licenses are exhausted.

Administrators should either purchase new licenses or prohibit certain users from accessing the VMware App Volumes Manager.
Termaluser_usage Indicates the percentage of terminal user licenses that is currently in use. Percent A value close to 100 indicates that the licenses are being exhausted rapidly.
Tot_ctermusr Indicates the total number of terminal user licenses that can be accessed concurrently. Number A value close to 100 indicates that the licenses are being exhausted rapidly.
Used_ctermusr Indicates the number of terminal user licenses that are concurrently in use. Number

If the value of this measure is inching close to or is equal to the Total concurrent terminal users measure, then, it indicates that the user licenses are exhausted.

Administrators should either purchase new licenses or prohibit certain users from accessing the VMware App Volumes Manager.
Usage_ctermusr Indicates the percentage of terminal user licenses that are concurrently in use. Percent A value close to 100 indicates that the licenses are being exhausted rapidly.
Tot_server Indicates the total number of server licenses allocated. Number  
Used_server Indicates the number of server licenses that are currently in use. Number If the value of this measure is inching close to or is equal to the Total servers measure, then, it indicates that the user licenses are exhausted. Administrators should either purchase new licenses or prohibit certain users from accessing the VMware App Volumes Manager.
Usage_server Indicates the percentage of server licenses that is currently in use. Percent A value close to 100 indicates that the licenses are being exhausted rapidly.
Tot_conserver Indicates the total number of server licenses that can be accessed concurrently. Number  
Used_conserver Indicates the number of server licenses that are concurrently in use. Number If the value of this measure is inching close to or is equal to the Total concurrent servers measure, then, it indicates that the user licenses are exhausted. Administrators should either purchase new licenses or prohibit certain users from accessing the VMware App Volumes Manager.
Usage_conserver Indicates the percentage of server licenses that is currently in use. Number If the value of this measure is inching close to or is equal to the Total concurrent servers measure, then, it indicates that the user licenses are exhausted. Administrators should either purchase new licenses or prohibit certain users from accessing the VMware App Volumes Manager.
Tot_desktop Indicates the total number of desktop licenses allocated for use. Number  
Used_desktop Indicates the number of desktop licenses that are currently in use. Number If the value of this measure is inching close to or is equal to the Total desktops measure, then, it indicates that the user licenses are exhausted. Administrators should either purchase new licenses or prohibit certain users from accessing the VMware App Volumes Manager.
Usage_desktop Indicates the percentage of desktop licenses that is currently in use. Percent A value close to 100 indicates that the licenses are being exhausted rapidly.
Tot_condesk Indicates the number of desktop licenses that can be provisioned concurrently. Number  
Tot_condesk Indicates the number of desktop licenses that are currently in use. Number

If the value of this measure is inching close to or is equal to the Total concurrent desktops measure, then, it indicates that the user licenses are exhausted.

Administrators should either purchase new licenses or prohibit certain users from accessing the VMware App Volumes Manager.
Usage_condesk Indicates the percentage of desktop licenses that is currently in use. Percentage A value close to 100 indicates that the licenses are being exhausted rapidly.
