    Custom Report - Flexera One

    I would like to create a custom report that displays only server devices from the inventory. The columns I need in the report are:

     

    • Server Name
    • Status
    • Operating System (OS)

     

    However, I am unable to find a filter that clearly distinguishes servers from end-user devices (desktops/laptops).

     

    Could you please advise if there is a built-in filter, device type attribute, or recommended approach to identify and report only server assets.

    @dcchauhandeepak​ - You can filter on servers by adding the "Server" column either from the All Inventory or Active Inventory view. If you prefer to use the Report Builder, select the Object "Inventory Device" and add the object properties: Inventory Device Name, Status, Operating system and Server. Filter on Server=Yes and you have your report.

    How can we increase the Flexera API rate limit?

    We integrated Flexera One into our Terraform workflow, but we regularly hit the current limit of 50 API actions per minute.

    For example, one Terraform apply for 10 projects creates around 10 budgets and 30 alerts, plus additional authentication and query requests.

    Is it possible to increase the rate limit for our organization or account? If so, how can this be requested or configured? Thanks, Anton

    Flexera One SaaS Management supports a growing range of out-of-the-box connectors, but there are still cases where organizations need to work with SaaS applications that do not yet have a dedicated connector.

     

    To help with those scenarios, we’ve put together the attached SaaS Custom Connectors Catalog & Implementation Guide. It provides example approaches for collecting SaaS user, usage, license and seat data using custom connectors and data imports, including API and CSV options, authentication patterns, pagination details, response examples, mapping considerations and known limitations. The goal is to give customers and partners a practical starting point for extending coverage to additional SaaS applications where suitable APIs, exports or reports are available.

     

    These examples are intended as exploratory guidance and have not been fully tested or certified by Flexera. If you’ve tested one of the documented approaches in your own environment, we’d love to hear about your experience. Feedback on what worked, what required adjustment, or where you ran into limitations will help us improve the guidance and better understand which custom connector approaches are proving most useful in practice.

    Bulk Import of Bundled Oracle Java Paths for License Exclusion

    We are identifying Oracle Java installations that are bundled with other applications and therefore do not require separate licensing. To exempt them from compliance calculations and JSW reporting, we need to add roughly 2,000 file paths and their associated applications. Is there a bulk import/update method available, or must these be added individually?image.png

      There is no bulk upload option to exempt file paths, so they must be entered manually.

      An enhancement request for this feature already exists in the Ideas portal. You can find and vote for this Idea at the link below.

    1. Can someone provide me stats/info on the Flexera Kubernetes Agents as to what resources it uses on a cluster.
    2. Can Flexera use k8s API to extract inventory?
    3. Can Flexera integrate with ACS (Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security (RHACS))?

    We have a situation in our organization  where they do not want to install the kubernetes agents and they do not want to installs IBM ILS. Can someone provide me with answers from above.

      @IronManMK10​ 

      Please allow me to point towards the Two FlexNet Kubernetes Agents documentation first as I think that addresses some of your questions:

      1. The Lightweight Kubernetes Agent was created to lower the resources needed compared to the full Kubernetest inventory agent. Please refer to the subsections of Editing configuration for the Flexera Kubernetes Inventory Agent for customizing its configuration options.
      2. Flexera's Kubernetes inventory agents make use of Kubernetes APIs to extract inventory, but please elaborate further if it's something specific you're looking for doing through the APIs.
      3. There's to my knowledge no direct integration with RHACS, but please feel free to elaborate on the specific use cases you have in mind behind this question.

       

      IBM ILS is related to IBM's licensing requirements when Cloud Paks are running in containerized environments, and Flexera's Kubernetes inventory agents communicate with its APIs to report on Cloud Pak license consumption from containerized environments.

       

      Thanks,

    FlexNet Beacon 25.1.0 Upgrade Issue – "Beacon Service Not start" / .NET Framework 4.8 Validation

    Hello Team,

     

    We are using Flexera One and recently upgraded our FlexNet Beacon from version 22.4 to 25.1.0. Following the upgrade, the Beacon UI is not opening successfully and displays the following error message:

     

    "Beacon service not found."

    "The application could not start because it could not connect to the FlexNet Inventory Beacon Engine service. Please check that the service is running."

     

    However, when we check Windows Services, we can see that the FlexNet Inventory Beacon Engine service is present and running successfully, which makes this behavior somewhat confusing.

     

    As part of our troubleshooting, we reviewed the prerequisites for Beacon version 25.1.0, which indicate that .NET Framework 4.8 is required.

     

    We verified the installed .NET Framework version using the following PowerShell command:

    (Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full').Version

     

    The output shows 4.8, suggesting that .NET Framework 4.8 is installed on the server.

    However, when checking Add or Remove Programs, we can only see .NET Framework 4.6, and there is no visible entry for .NET Framework 4.8. To further validate this, we attempted a manual installation of .NET Framework 4.8, but the installation failed with the following error:

    "Installation did not succeed. .NET Framework 4.8 has not been installed because: Cannot find object or property."

     

    For reference, I have attached the following:

    1. Beacon UI error message
    2. Beacon Engine log screenshot
    3. .NET Framework installation error screenshot

     

    Has anyone encountered a similar issue after upgrading from Beacon 22.4 to 25.1.0? Any guidance, recommendations, or troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

     

    Regards,

    Ravi Ladhawala

    Hi Chris,

     

    Thank you for your response. We connected with the Support team, and they initially recommended uninstalling and reinstalling the current Beacon version. We followed this approach; however, the same error reappeared after the reinstallation. At that point, I strongly suspected that the .NET Framework 4.8 installation might be corrupted, especially since the .NET 4.8 entry was not visible in Add/Remove Programs, although the 4.8 update was listed in Windows Update and only able to see .NET Framework 4.6 entry in Add or Remove Programs. 

     

    The following day, we had a Meeting with a senior support engineer who recommended performing a complete uninstallation of FlexNet Beacon. During earlier uninstall attempts, we encountered two pop-up messages, which we had ignored. One was related to a running .exe file, and the other indicated that an MSI package could not be found.

     

    Based on the engineer's recommendation, we stopped all Flexera services, terminated related processes from task manager, disabled scheduled tasks, and stopped the IIS websites. This resolved the first pop-up issue. We then proceeded with the uninstallation, and Beacon 25.1.0 was successfully removed. However, we noticed that Beacon 19.0.1 was still listed in Control Panel.

     

    It appeared that the original Beacon 19.0.1 installation had not been fully removed during the upgrade process from 19.0.1 to 22.4 Beacon version. Attempts to uninstall version 19.0.1 failed because the required MSI package was missing. After several unsuccessful attempts, we finally removed the legacy Beacon installation using the MSIZap utility.

     

    Once the older version was removed, we backed up the required configuration files, deleted the remaining Flexera folders from C:\ProgramData and Program Files (x86), and cleaned up the associated registry entries. After completing the cleanup, we installed FlexNet Beacon 25.1.0 again, and the installation completed successfully. The Beacon application then functioned as expected without any further issues. 

     

    Regards,

    Ravi Ladhawala

      The errors seen in the logging seem to imply that the configuration settings for the beacon expected to be in the registry do not exist. Perhaps try:

      1. Uninstall the beacon software.
      2. Delete (or maybe just rename to keep a backup of current settings) the following registry key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ManageSoft Corp
      3. Install the beacon software again.

       

      I don't see anything in what you've shared that suggests there is a problem with the .NET Framework installation.

      Hi,

      There's no possibility to reflect the dedicated restriction value through the custom report builder instead of reflecting a dedicated restriction value like "restricted to enterprise group = yes/no".

      If you want to create a reports reflecting all possible restriction values like locations, enterprisegroups, "windows servers" etc. you'll need to use the REST API.

      The API solution should ultimately allow to produce something much more useful, e.g.:

      LicenseID

      LicenseName

      LicenseType

      RestrictionType

      RestrictionGroupType

      RestrictionGroup

      RestrictionPath

      ReportRestriction

      OSRestriction

       

      For that using the official API documentation @ https://developer.flexera.com/docs/api/fnms/v1
