To activate report logging, add the REPORTLOG keyword to the options file. This keyword specifies the log location, and it specifies that the report log is not overwritten when the license server is restarted.   The options file is a server configuration file that defines licensing behaviour – your options file is probably C:\Program Files\Citrix\Licensing\MyFiles\CITRIX.opt" on your license server.  By default it'll have   NOLOG IN NOLOG OUT   as default options. You'll want to add the following to the .opt file and restart the license service:   REPORTLOG + "c:\program files\citrix\licensing\ls\reportlog.rl"   This will store usage (for reporting) to the file reportlog.rl – the "+" symbol means that the file will not be overwritten when you start the service   As the log file can grow and become unwieldy; Citrix recommend  not  having your report log grow over 50MB. We archive our log files monthly – essentially a script runs on the 1st of the month, stops the license service, moves the current report.rl file and renames it and restarts the license service.   I've got a script somewhere if you're interested?                 From: thin-bounce@freelists.org [mailto:thin-bounce@freelists.org] On Behalf Of Andrew Sent: 02 April 2009 11:18 To: Thin Subject: [THIN] Re: Daily Concurrent user reports - Presentation server 4.5 farm.   Have you enabled logging on the license server?

To: thin@freelists.org Date: Wednesday, April 1, 2009, 7:43 AM We archive off our license log files monthly - but we use these to generate concurrent usage numbers   1.       Historical Usage -> Add report logs (Add your reports from your archive) 2.       Product Reports -> Choose your product (e.g.  Enterprise| Concurrent User) 3.       Product Reports -> Choose your date range (e.g. All) 4.       Product Reports -> Choose your summary period (day/ week) 5.       Product Reports -> Choose 'Number of licenses' 6.       Generate the report     If we want to do a 'who logged on in the past month' we can use Edgesight   1.       Edgesight – Devices->Performance->Sessions 2.       Select 'Sessions for a group by day' 3.       Select your group (we've terminal servers grouped by internal/external – you might have something different) 4.       Select the date range 5.       Generate the report 6.       Export the data to CSV (Or excel, but CSV is quicker) 7.       Import the file into Excel 8.       Select user column & de-duplicate 9.       The resulting list is who has accessed your service over the past month   Obviously, you can change the time frame to be day/week/quarter as you like.   Hth   a.   From: thin-bounce@freelists.org [mailto:thin-bounce@freelists.org] On Behalf Of Saravanan Srinivasan Sent: 01 April 2009 12:26 To: thin@freelists.org Subject: [THIN] Daily Concurrent user reports - Presentation server 4.5 farm.   Hello,   I am interested to know what others are doing to get daily concurrent user count for a monthly report?   Edgesight: We have edgesight and I couldn't find report for this.   AMC: Built-in Report Center in AMC also doesn't have anything for that.   License Console: I thought Historical Usage has some good reports...
