DevTest Solutions Usage Audit Report

A DevTest Solutions Usage Audit Report is generated as an Excel workbook with the following tabs:

• First tab: Overview
• User Type tabs: Admin User, PF Power User, SV Power User, Test User, Runtime User

  There is a tab for each user type with any activity over the time period, either concurrent or single usage. While Admin User is included in the report, you do not need to consider it when evaluating your compliance to your licensing agreement.

• Last tab: Component by User, with a column for each UI or CLI with access during this time period. Entries on this tab do not necessarily represent concurrent access.

Overview

The Overview tab provides details on the extent an enterprise is using the number of current users of each user type that their license permits. A given report provides data from all registries for a specified date range. The Count data is shown by user type.

Report Information

The report information section lists licensing information and the date range for this audit report.

• Company: Name of the company that generated this report.
• Key ID: The license key identifier
• Expiration: The date the license expires
• Reporting Period Start: The starting date for this report.
• Reporting Period End: The ending date for this report.

User Type and Count

Reported user types include PF Power User, SV Power User, Test Power User, and Runtime User. Admin User is also reported, although it is not counted as a user type for licensing.

If the user is granted permissions that are associated with more than one user type, the higher user type is used. The user type hierarchy, from highest to lowest, follows:

1. PF Power User or SV Power User (equivalent user types)
2. Test Power User
3. Runtime User
4. Admin User

See User Types.

All registries continuously collect usage data from the services that support the UIs and CLIs. Raw data is kept for concurrent usage by the same user type across the enterprise, where the concurrent login sessions are recorded by registry. Concurrent usage occurs when two or more users of the same user type access a DevTest UI or DevTest CLI where their sessions overlap in time.

The Count calculations for the report are based on group counts where the maximum concurrency count is reached. The Min, Max, and standard deviation convey the distribution across registries. See the Count Calculation Example.

User Type tabs (Admin User, PF Power User, SV Power User, Test User, Runtime User)

Each User Type tab reports metrics and statistics on concurrency groups that reached the maximum concurrency count for this reporting period.

• Average:
  • The average is calculated for each registry that is part of the concurrent group.
  • Total is for the user type. This value also appears on the Overview page.
• STDEV: Standard deviation that is calculated for each registry sample set.
• Minimum: The lowest value for each registry sample set.
• Maximum: The highest value for each registry sample set.

Component By User

The Component by User tab reports user session data from each registry that is connected to the Enterprise Dashboard.

Registry

Registry names are in the format:

registry@FQDN:2010

User Name

Names of users who logged in to a user interface or command-line interface for one or more sessions.

User Type

The user type that is assigned to the associated user. User types are displayed as:

• ADMIN_USER
• PF_POWER_USER
• SV_POWER_USER
• TEST_POWER_USER
• SVT_RUNTIME_USER

Total Sessions

The sum of counts from the reported columns for the associated user, where the columns represent either a UI session or a session using a CLI. User interfaces include DevTest Console, DevTest Workstation, and Portal. Examples of CLIs include AddUser and Test Runner. Columns may vary by report, depending on where users log in. Some examples follow:

• Add User: The number of times this user initiated the adduser command-line utility.
• Console: The number of times this user logged in to the DevTest Console for this registry.
• Workstation: The number of times this user opened a DevTest Workstation, connected to the associated registry, and logged in.
• Portal: The number of times this user browsed to http://hostname:1507/devtest for this registry and logged in.
