Statistics Collection

It can be useful, for statistical purposes, to take a snapshot of license use at regular intervals over a period of time and get an average number of license uses at the end of the data collection. To do this, use the command:

$COBDIR/aslmf/apptrack stats p n 

where the parameters are:

p The period, in seconds, between each statistics collection
n The number of statistics collections to make

For example, the command:

$COBDIR/aslmf/apptrack stats 60 10

takes 10 snapshots, with 60 seconds between each.

By default, the statistics are displayed on the screen. It is usually more useful to direct them into a file; for example:

$COBDIR/aslmf/apptrack stats 60 10 >> userfile

The format of the statistics is similar to that displayed by the AppTrack license summary; see the section Monitoring License Use for details. The differences are that the heading lines are not displayed, and that each snapshot is separated by a dividing line.
