GFI NetworkServerMonitor is Counting More Licenses Than It Should

Overview

Checks which do not monitor a computer will consume one license over and above the current server license count. Such checks include:

  • HTTP
  • FTP
  • Generic MS SQL
  • ADO checks
  • ODBC checks

Information

When more than one of these checks is configured, it will still only count 1 extra license. Take the following scenarios as examples for clarification:

Scenario 1:

  • 1 SQL check to ServerA
  • 1 Ping check to ServerA
  • 1 Ping check to ServerB

This consumes 3 licenses.

Scenario 2:

  • 1 SQL check to ServerA
  • 1 SQL check to ServerB
  • 1 HTTP check to ServerA
  • 1 Ping check to ServerA
  • 1 Ping check to ServerB

This still consumes just 3 licenses.
