Access License Usage Detail

You can view the details of Controller Tenant license usage on individual Tenants. Splunk AppDynamics captures usage data in five-minute intervals and aggregates it into larger intervals.

Controller Tenant

Each subscription license model has a unique display in the UI.

The IBL model offers license packages for Application Performance Management (APM), End User Monitoring (EUM), Application Analytics, and security. Each package includes a combination of Splunk AppDynamics Agents and is based on a single metering unit: CPU Core.

If you purchased Splunk AppDynamics licenses before February 23, 2021, you most likely have licenses in the ABL model. Agent-based Licensing is the original model in which each Splunk AppDynamics Agent is licensed and metered individually.

You can use View OptionsView Options Dropdown to select a Controller type and status to filter the list.

See Measure the License Usage.

Max and Average Usage Metrics

You can view these metrics reporting for the timeframe you chose in the date range selector UI:

  • Max—the maximum usage of all agents aggregated over the chosen timeframe. It is the maximum of all the data points on the graph.
  • Monthly Average—the average of all agents reporting usage during the chosen timeframe. It is the average of all the average values on the graph.

For certain products under the Application Performance Management (APM) and Infrastructure Visibility product families, the x-axis is the time frame and the y-axis is the number of license units used.

The APM Any Language product includes multiple agents. Click a corresponding checkbox in the filter bar to drill down into usage for a particular agent (such as Java). Agents that do not report data during the selected timeframe are grayed out in the filter.

You can interpret metrics according to the view:

  • When you select all agent types, the maximums and the averages of all agents display reporting usage over the selected timeframe.
  • When you select one agent type, the results are restricted to that agent’s data.
  • When you select a subset of agent types, the maximums and averages are calculated based only on the agents chosen.

Cumulative Plot Graph

This graph displays the total number of units used during either a usage cycle or a timeframe you choose.

  • The y-axis represents the units used, either as the metered unit or as license units.
  • The x-axis represents the time period.

For a given usage period, theUsage Overviewwill show usage as a percentage to display the quantity consumption against your total allocation.

Real User Monitoring, Synthetics Monitoring, and Transaction Analytics are a few examples of products that are metered on a cumulative basis.

Non-Cumulative Plot Graph

This graph plots the usage for a product’s given usage cycle or timeframe and the granularity you select. You can use the non-cumulative graph to help you determine how much of the product is being used at a regular cadence and whether there are spikes in usage.

Hover over a data point on the graph to view granular metrics. You can also view an average data point for the set granularity.

APM Any Language, Server Visibility, and Databases Monitoring are a few examples of products that are metered on a non-cumulative basis.
