6.4.2 Reportlog File Format

The RLM servers create a reportlog in three formats, selectable by the License Administrator. The three formats are “std”, “small”, and “detailed”.

The detailed report will be produced, but all fractional seconds fields will be 0.

The formats differ only in the contents of the checkout and checkin records, as described below. Common to all formats are the classes of data logged, and the data for all except checkin and checkout records.

The reportlog format has a version number in the start record. All data described applies to all versions of the reportlog, except where indicated.

The data is:

authentication data
checkin
checkout
dequeue
isv-specific data
license denial
license in use
log file start
log file end (can correspond to a switch to a new logfile)
meter transaction data
periodic timestamps
queue
roam extend
server shutdown
server reread of license/option file
support for a product (feature) - one for each license pool at log file start time
Note: In every reportlog entry which contains a username or a hostname, the field is presented without quotes. However, if the corresponding value is empty, a pair of double-quotes (“”) will be placed in the reportlog where the username or hostname would be.

A reportlog consists of the following data:

log file start records
one PRODUCT support line for each supported product
one license in use record for each currently-checked-out license
all license activity data, including checkouts, checkins, AUTH records, etc.
one license in use record for each currently-checked-out license
optional SWITCH line
END line
final AUTH line

The format of the data logged is described in the following sections.
