Licensing
EF_LICENSE_TELEMETRY_HOSTS
NetObserv SNMP is licensed by telemetry hosts, the number of SNMP devices polled by the collector. The maximum number of telemetry hosts will be set based on the provided license key. However, this maximum can be configured manually for a given instance. This is usually done when it is desired to use multiple instances of the collector. For example, a subscription for 100 telemetry hosts can be split into 2 instances, of 50 telemetry hosts each, by setting EF_LICENSE_TELEMETRY_HOSTS: 50 for each instance. If set to a value greater than allowed by the license key, the instances will be started with the telemetry hosts based on the license key.
- Default
0(uses the telemetry hosts based on the license)
EF_SNMP_LICENSED_UNITS
This configuration option is only relevant for legacy license keys that license the collector based on units. The concept of units is marked for deprecation. New license keys will license the collector based on telemetry hosts and the EF_LICENSE_TELEMETRY_HOSTS should be used.
NetObserv SNMP 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.
