Getting

Building

$ make

Configuration

This is an illustrative example of the configuration file in YAML format.

# FlexLM Licenses to be monitored.
---
licenses:
  - name: app1
    license_file: /usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat.app1
    features_to_exclude: feature1,feature2
    monitor_users: True
    monitor_reservations: True
  - name: app2
    license_server: 28000@host1,28000@host2,28000@host3
    features_to_include: feature5,feature30
    monitor_users: True
    monitor_reservations: True

Notes:

1. It is possible to define a license with a path in license_file, that has to be readable from the exporter instance, or with license_server in a port@host combination format.
2. You can exclude some features from exporting with features_to_exclude, or export some defined and exclude the rest with feature_to_include.

$ ./flexlm_exporter <flags>
