EPS License Reporting
The customer is considered to be in compliance with the license agreement as long as the MMEPS value indicators remain at the limit or below the purchased license capacity. If 3 or more consecutive MMEPS value indicators exceed their capacity based on the purchased license, they are considered to be out of compliance.
You can download up to one year license reports in PDF format.
Keystones:
- Events per Day (EPD): Is the total number of events generated in a 24 hour clock period. The clock is calculated based on UTC time starting at 00:00:00 and ending at 23:59:59, regardless of the local times used.
- Sustained EPS (SEPS): Is the event “constant” per second supported by the system within the 24 hour clock period. It stabilizes peaks and valleys and gives a better indication of use
- Moving Median EPS (MMEPS): Is the license usage. It uses the 45 day period SEPS data shifting the calculation window 1 day every 24 hours after the first 45 days. The clock is calculated based on UTC time starting at 00:00:00 and ending at 23:59:59, regardless of the local times used.
- License Limit: Corresponds to the amount of EPS acquired in the license.
-
Baselining: The baselining period begins when an EPS licensed product is detected in ArcMC for the first time (day 1), and it continues for the next 45 days. Once ArcMC detects an EPS licensed product, the baseline is set, and it does not change even if the license is redeployed. During this period, the usage will be calculated as the median of the SEPS values available at that moment. MMEPS values are truncated to benefit the customer. For example:
MMEPS Calculation
Day 1: SEPS of day 1
Day 2: Truncated median of SEPS of days 1 and 2.
Day 3: Truncated median of SEPS of days 1, 2, and 3.
Day 45: Truncated median value of SEPS of days 1 through 45
EPS License Usage Calculation
The usage will be collected from each managed Loggers and ArcMCs once a day.
- Moving Median Events Per Second (MMEPS): The median value over the last 45 days.
- Baselining: The usage will be calculated as the median of the SEPS values available at that moment. MMEPS values are truncated to benefit the customer.
