Other IBM metrics

License Metric Tool reports utilization for a vast number of IBM license metrics for products that deliver .slmtag files.

Information about utilization of license metrics for products that deliver .slmtag files is presented on the All Metrics report when the following criteria are met:
  • The product is discovered and reported on the Software Classification report.
  • The license metric that is assigned to the product on the Software Classification panel matches the license metric that is listed in the .slmtag file.

For the list of IBM products that deliver .slmtag files, see: IBM products that deliver SLM tags. If you require an IBM product to deliver an .slmtag file, submit an idea for the product team.

The reported metric quantity is the sum of the maximum daily values from all software instances over the reporting period.

If license metric utilization is not reported on the All Metrics report, you can review the Resource Utilization report to see raw data retrieved from .slmtag files. You can use this information to determine why the utilization is not shown. For more information, see the following links: If a product does not deliver the .slmtag file at all and you want to track its license metric utilization nevertheless, you can declare the utilization manually. For more information, see: Setting and removing the declared metric quantity.
