Hi Team,
I am needing help from license and pricing model experts.
We have a client that we are trying to provide a license pricing model that will meet their strict budget restriction and still provide adequate monitoring visibility. At a later stage this can be scaled up.
At this stage we want to find out what are the license options that AppDy can issue, before we approach the channel partner with specifics and quotes.
They have 4 agents deployed but wanting to find out a few license model options before figuring out how many more they need.
Q1:
Can a single agent (java) be configured to turn on and off at certain times of the day rather than continuosly be monitoring ?. Hence charged accordingly (usage hrs) rather than paying a flat fee.
Q2:
following on from Q1, can a java agent be bundled into a license pool be available on standby(configured but turned off). License fee is charged if and only when agent actively monitors?
Situation: there are 6 nodes that make up a tier. even with load balancing, one of the 6 nodes has performance issues now and then, and there is no need to monitor all 6 nodes at the same time all the time. The idea is to turn on and off the agent configured in one of the nodes if performance issue is suspected on that node.
Q3: My understanding is that java agent includes both Application and host monitoring components. are these two components configurable individually so you can turn on and off host monitoring component for example!
These questions is find out if the license agents are charged by their use (per hr) rather than paying flat fee, as most times these agents do not need to actively monitor 24 by 7.
There is a MS-SQL database and a DB agents needs to be configured and turned on 24 by 7.
Greatly appreciate your response.
Best Regards
Adrian
