A simple python script to introduce license metrics and sending events about unmonitored hosts if unmonitored unintentionally. It is intended to be executed on hourly basis by default.
Following metrics are created:
billing.hostunit.consumption
If OneAgent on a host has UNMONITORED status, script verifies if the agent is set to enabled and sends problem opening events to trigger problem in Dynatace.
