Licensing

EF_SNMP_LICENSE_KEY​

This field contains the License Key issued for this instance of the Unified SNMP Collector. EF_ACCOUNT_ID must also contain the Account ID to which this key belongs.

EF_SNMP_LICENSED_UNITS​

The Unified SNMP Collector is licensed by units of 4000 objects, where an object is a unique instance of an object definition for which data is being collected.

By default the number of units will be set based on the provided license key. However the number of units to be used by an instance can be configured manually. This is usually done when it is desired to use multiple instances of the collector. For example, a subscription for 8 licensed units can be split into 2 instances, of 4 units each, by setting EF_SNMP_LICENSED_UNITS: 4 for each instance. If set to a value greater than allowed by the license key, the instances will be started with the number of units from the license key.

The default value of 1 is the number of units allowed under the community and basic subscription tiers. See https://www.elastiflow.com/subscriptions for more details about subscription options.
