Analyzing usage
Note: This functionality has been removed in IAP Desktop 2.30 and is now available as a separate tool, License Tracker.
You can use IAP Desktop to analyze your usage of VM instances and sole-tenant nodes by using IAP Desktop.
Analyzing usage of VMs and sole-tenant nodes provides insights often required for effectively reporting your per-physical core based licenses (commonly applicable for Windows Server and MS SQL Server BYOL use cases). For these per-physical core based licenses, IAP Desktop provides you with granular metrics to aid in your reporting including:
- Number of unique physical hosts used over a given period of time
- Peak usage of physical hosts over a given period of time
- Unique server identifiers for each host
- Days each physical server was used
- Lineage of physical servers used for each instance
For details on how to use IAP Desktop to analyze your usage of VM instances and sole-tenant nodes, see Analyzing sole-tenant node usage.
