  1. Optimal methods for Datadog license creation and PO mapping.

    I have a very complex purchase of entitlements for the product Datadog (https://www.datadoghq.com/) with a quote consisting of 14 line items with various quantities of metrics (some host, some per GP, etc.).

     

    The PO cut for this doesn't really equal the quote, as it was only for quantities broken out into really 3 line items for annual yearly payments.

     

    If you use the product, I'd love any advice you may have on how to create the licenses and map the various items to the appropriate metrics.

      @Toddmichael Janiszewski​ 

      Do you have the SKU available, and does Flexera recognize it and assist in its processing to generate licenses with the appropriate use rights to represent the entitlement correctly, or are you manually processing the PO?

       

      I think the forum members will need a bit more details, e.g. the SKU to be able to provide guidance.

       

      Thanks,

  2. Guidance on Integrating Flexera One License Availability into ServiceNow

    Hi Community

     

    We are currently working on integrating Flexera One with ServiceNow and would like to understand how to bring license availability information into ServiceNow for specific software titles, e.g. Microsoft Visio and many more.

     

    In particular, we are building an AppStore‑style solution within ServiceNow (similar to AppPortal), and our goal is to surface real‑time license availability data from Flexera One so that users can make informed requests and allocations directly through ServiceNow.

     

    Could you please provide detailed guidance on the following points:

     

    1. What APIs are available in Flexera One to retrieve license availability (e.g., available vs. consumed licenses) for products like Microsoft Visio?
    2. What configuration steps are required in Flexera One to expose this data for consumption by ServiceNow?
    3. Are there out‑of‑the‑box connectors or mappings that support this integration, or does it require customization?
    4. How does Flexera One handle different license types (per device, per user, subscription, etc.) when exposing availability data through APIs?
    5. What ServiceNow data fields or tables can be populated with Flexera license availability, and how can we ensure they stay updated in near real‑time?
    6. Are there best practices or recommended workflows for reporting license availability in ServiceNow dashboards once the integration is complete?
    7. Any limitations we should be aware of when tracking availability for Microsoft Visio or similar Microsoft products?

     

    Our objective is to enable ServiceNow users to see current license availability directly within the platform, ensuring smooth request fulfillment and compliance.

     

    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

      Have you considered App Broker as an option to facilitate these use cases through its ServiceNow and Flexera One integrations? It's designed for the purposes described in your scenarios (at least how I interpret them...)

       

      Thanks,

  3. OCI CONNECTOR (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)

    Good morning everyone,

     

    I have a question for you.

     

    On FlexeraOne, after configuring the OCI connector, all the imported resources are displayed as UNALLOCATED.

     

    I set an allocation rule on the CloudAccounts, but I see no improvement.

     

    Could you point me

  6. IT Visibility – Data Export Retention Policy Is Now Live

     

    A 30-day retention policy for Normalize ZIP data exports is now live across all regions.

     

    What's Changed

    • All Normalize ZIP exports are automatically and permanently deleted 30 days after the "Requested" date.
    • Exports older than 30 days at the time of rollout have already been removed.
    • A new "Days Until Deletion" column on the Data Exports page shows remaining days before each export is removed.
    • We recommend downloading and securely storing any exports you need before the 30-day window expires, as deleted exports cannot be recovered.
    • You can always generate a fresh export anytime from the Data Exports page.

     

    This change applies only to Normalize ZIP exports —Queries API CSVs are not affected.

     

    For questions, please contact Flexera Support.

  7. How to import storage information to Flexera

    Hi we are using ITAM +ITV feature and we want to manage storage information.

    However, we don't have discovery sources like ServiceNow/BMC Discovery,

    in such a case ,are there any way we can import storage data like importing file etc..? 

     


    • Hi,

       

      what do you mean with storage? Like Disk Space?

      If yes, you can import this information via Business Adapter Studio to ITAM module. So doing updates via excel/database/csv etc. to update existing ITAM inventories.

  8. How can I implement TLS version detection installed in my estate? I have Flexera agent installed.

    We intend to have TLS version reporting using Flexera. Has this worked for you before. This will be very helpful.

     

    Question with a best answer.

    Best Answer

    @njokingumi​ 

    I would personally look for other options as I don't see Flexera's inventory agent being the most effective way to easily collect the required details. For large or segmented networks I would say that active endpoint probing is the most effective way to map your estate and inventory every system's TLS configuration.

     

    I hope that other forum members will chime in with their experience and provide better guidance. (I just wanted to trigger and get the conversation going...)

     

    Thanks,

    John Sorensen

  1. Has anyone had success configuring Custom Connectors ?

    if you have had success, for what applications? - I have set up WDesk, Workiva & no new data is populating in SaaS Management - the advice is that this is a limitation for the Workiva application - so interested to hear of success with other applications?
