Parsers

License Monitor can parse command output with Python parser scripts. These scripts transform vendor-specific license manager output into normalized structured JSON that License Monitor uses for analysis and reporting.

Parser location

Configured with:

[command_mode]
parse_script = "parse.py"

Use a vendor parser path when needed, for example:

parse_script = "servers/autodesk/parse.py"

Included vendor parser folders

See the current parser list in your internal/private license-monitor repository under servers/.

Operational guidance

• You can use bundled parsers, customize existing parsers, or develop new parsers for unsupported vendors.
• Keep parser scripts version-controlled.
• Validate parser output in staging before rollout.
• Keep a rollback copy of the last known-good parser.
• For parser development guidance, see the docs/parser-development.md file in your internal/private license-monitor repository.
