Monitor clients and licenses

You can monitor your licenses using the lsctl command. The following represent some of the more common monitoring operations you can perform:

• View the nodes using Portworx licenses
• View which individual license features are leased-out to nodes

View the nodes using Portworx licenses

Enter the lscstl client ls command to list all of the Portworx nodes using licenses from the license server:

/opt/pwx-ls/bin/lsctl client ls

CLUSTER ID                                       NODE ID                               LEASE EXPIRY

note

Backup license servers retrieve lease expiration information from the primary license server every 5 minutes. If the lease interval is set to a short period of time, 15 minutes for example, Portworx will refresh the lease more frequently than the backup license server syncs. In this situation, you will see slightly different lease expiration times depending on which license server you run the lscstl client ls command on.

View the which individual licenses are leased-out to nodes

Enter the lstcl client usage command to list all of the Portworx nodes using licenses, display what those licenses are, and the number of licenses being consumed by that node:

/opt/pwx-ls/bin/lsctl client usage

CLUSTER ID                                       NODE ID                               LICENSE  COUNT  LEASE EXPIRY
