Solved: Socket Counts Not Displaying

atique · ‎Apr 05, 2023

Socket Counts for ESX Hosts and servers are not displaying.

I need to know if there is any way to collect socket count automatically ?

Does Flexera agent now collect socket count ?

Socket counts can generally not be gathered automatically - operating systems to not typically provide any APIs to determine that data.

The Technopedia library of data (available with Flexera One IT Visibility) does provide socket counts for many hardware products. IT Visibility will map model information that is gathered from hardware devices by inventory tools such as the FlexNet inventory agent (or other sources) to hardware products in Technopedia so that you can get details of sockets in those hardware devices.
