Issue/Introduction
nhListElementLicenses can be used to identify which elements are using a license.
To get a count of licenses being used, execute the $NH_HOME/nhListElementLicenses command.
This command will output a list of all elements with a number next to each. If the element has a -1 next to it, then it does not use a license.
However, if the element has a positive number next to it, then it does use a license. If the same number is next to several elements, then all of those elements only use one license. The numbers will increment with each license used, so the bottom number is the total licenses being used.
For example, the following is the output from the nhListElementLicenses command:
2 sysName-SH
2 sysName-SH-/
2 sysName-SH-/export
2 sysName-SH-/opt
2 sysName-SH-/tmp
2 sysName-SH-/var
2 sysName-SH-/var/run
2 sysName-SH-Cpu-1
2 sysName-SH-disk-dad0c0t0d0s0
2 sysName-SH-disk-dad1c0t2d0s0
2 sysName-SH-disk-sd0c0t1d0s0
3 sysName-SH-enet-port-2
In this case, one license is being used by all the elements, except sysName-SH-enet-port-2. This element utilizes its own license as can be seen by the incrementation of the count to three. Each additional element that uses its own license will be incremented by one.
This command is for Statistics Poller/ Universal Element licenses only.
