Server Management

Server List View

The server list provides a filterable, sortable view of all license servers:

Column	Description
Name	Server display name
Status	Current status (Online, Offline, Warning, Maintenance)
Type	License server type (FlexLM, RLM, sesinetd, etc.)
Licenses	Total / In Use / Available
Utilization	Percentage of licenses in use
Response Time	Last health check response time
Last Updated	Timestamp of last data refresh

Filtering and Search

// Available filter options
interface ServerFilters {
  status?: 'online' | 'offline' | 'warning' | 'maintenance';
  type?: string;
  vlan?: string;
  search?: string;
  minUtilization?: number;
  maxUtilization?: number;
}

// Example: Find high-utilization servers
const highUtilServers = servers.filter({
  status: 'online',
  minUtilization: 80,
});

Server Detail View

Each server has a detailed view with:

System Information: OS, hostname, IP, VLAN
Health Metrics: CPU, memory, disk usage
License Features: All features with utilization
Active Sessions: Current license checkouts
Health History: Historical health check results
Alerts: Server-specific alerts

License Monitoring
