Hi Bleepie, I hope your week's going well? Thanks for reaching out on the forum here! Particularly for the scenarios you mention - where a customer's querying what data should be populated, or the logic behind FNMS behaviour - I found the Online Help invaluable when starting out as a Support Engineer. This is contextual, so you can hit the Help icon wherever you are in the FNMS Web UI to open a related Help page. We also have it as its' own separate link on the docs.flexera.com page - here's the 2022R1 version: https://docs.flexera.com/FlexNetManagerSuite2022R1/EN/WebHelp/index.html Of particular use is pages like All Licenses, where it shows all possible fields and potential values, along with a descriptor of what these fields show: https://docs.flexera.com/FlexNetManagerSuite2022R1/EN/WebHelp/index.html#topics/AllLicences.html Or if one of your customers asks for the logic behind FNMS License Consumption, there's a Glossary page for each License Type with insight on how these values are calculated: https://docs.flexera.com/FlexNetManagerSuite2022R1/EN/WebHelp/index.html#glossaries/licType_NamedUser.html I hope that helps! Kind regards and thanks Jack Flexera Support

FNMS applications are (mostly) .Net based, they're using log4net. Cognos is an exception as a 3rd party application. This blog article is the best reference and probably also the best spot to ask these questions: https://community.flexera.com/t5/Community-Notices/Flexera-s-response-to-Apache-Log4j-vulnerabilities-CVE-2021-4104/bc-p/221159#M160

I have also tried the dir command but nothing happens. In the logs however I can see that cleanup tasks on the webserver are successfully completed so I think the connection between the proc and web server is operating fine. Some additional information that is logged: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 2021-12-16 01:01:46,471 [onImport.ContentImport] [WARN ] RecognitionAfter82.cab download attempt 1 of 5 failed with System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server I'll discuss the above with a colleague later this week, as I have other business to attend to now, thanks for your help so far.

Yes, that is correct. The FlexNet Manager License Page is only available to a user assigned to the default Administrator role.

Hello, This information if is visible in WebUI then is stored somewhere in the Sql database. The information from beacon is transmitted in a file, with status .bstat which is a xml formatted file. You can catch this file directly on the beacon server or on application server you activate the replication functionality What I did, for one of the customer, I created a simple sql script, that will leverage the SQL send email functionality, it's for a multi tenant implementation, but you can modify it out DECLARE @xml NVARCHAR(MAX) DECLARE @body NVARCHAR(MAX) SET @xml = CAST(( select t.TenantName as 'td',' ',b.BeaconName as'td',' ',b.LastKnownActivityTime as 'td',' ' from Beacon_MT b left join Tenant t on t.TenantID = b.TenantID where b.LastKnownActivityTime < getdate() - 1 FOR XML PATH('tr'), ELEMENTS ) AS NVARCHAR(MAX)) SET @body ='<html><body><H3>Beacon no longer reporting</H3> <table border = 1> <tr> <th> Tenant Name </th> <th> Beacon Name </th> <th> Last Known Activity </th></tr>' SET @body = @body + @xml +'</table></body></html>' EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail @profile_name = 'mail2', -- replace with your SQL Database Mail Profile @body = @body, @body_format ='HTML', @recipients = 'flexera_admin@acme.com', -- replace with your email address @subject = 'Beacon no longer reporting' ; This script will send me on every morning the beacons that are no longer reporting.

Hi Erwin, Thanks for your reply. The setting "update automatically" is indeed set to no. We are also running a on premise environment. I'll discuss the posibilities of a database trigger with my team.
