# How to configure Peloton log file collection

**Peloton License Manager**

## **Introduction**

Open iT supports **Peloton**usage reporting by collecting log files and converting them to Open iT format.

An **Open iT client** is installed on your **license server** for this collection. The **data collector** monitors and gathers the license usage history logs from the license manager **every 5 minutes**. Once the logs are collected, the data collection process triggers and the logs are passed to the **data preprocessor**. After the data is preprocessed, it is transferred to the **Core Server** for further storage, completing the history logs collection and processing.

This will produce the following aggregated data types used for **historical** reporting:

Record Log Data:

- (89) Total License Use Licenseevents
- (90) Individual License Use Licenseevents
- (91) Usergroup License Use Licenseevents
- (108) Host License Use Licenseevents
- (109) Hostgroup License Use Licenseevents

Event Log Data:

- (104) License Logfile Events v2.0
- (107) Denied License Use Licenseevents

The following sections will guide you in setting up the necessary configuration to collect and send the required data to the server.

## **Requirements:**

- An Open iT Client connected to an Open iT Server
- License server administrative rights
- Full path to the debug log

## **Configuring Log File Collection**

These are the **required** steps to configure collection of Peloton log files.

1. Go to the **Components** directory, which is by default in C:\\Program Files\\OpeniT\\Core\\Configuration\\Components, and back up the logfilecollector-peloton.xml file.
2. Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
3. Go to the **bin** directory, which is by default in C:\\Program Files\\OpeniT\\Core\\bin, run the command:
   - cd C:\\Program Files\\OpeniT\\Core\\bin
4. Once in the directory, set the location of the Peloton log files, run the command:
   - openit_confinit -c "logfilecollector-peloton.logfilecollector.source.dir=<peloton_log_dir>"
   - where <peloton_log_dir> is the location of the Peloton log files.
     - Example: openit_confinit -c "logfilecollector-peloton.logfilecollector.source.dir=C:\\ProgramData\\Peloton”
5. Update the configuration file, run the command:
   - openit_confbuilder –client

## **Activating Log Data Collection**

These are the **required** steps to activate collection of Peloton log data.

1. Go to the **Components** directory, which is by default in C:\\Program Files\\OpeniT\\Core\\Configuration\\Components, and back up the logfilecollector-peloton.xml file.
2. Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
3. Go to the **bin** directory, which is by default in C:\\Program Files\\OpeniT\\Core\\bin, run the command:
4. openit_oconfinit -u "collect_license_peloton-logs.root.scheduler.jobs.collect_peloton_licenselogs.general.active=true"

## **Deactivating Log Data Collection**

Turning on log data collection automatically aggregates record and event log data. If you want to collect event log data only, follow these steps.

1. Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
2. Go to the **bin** directory, which is by default in C:\\Program Files\\OpeniT\\Core\\bin, run the command:
3. openit_oconfinit -u "collect_license_peloton-logs.root.scheduler.jobs.preprocess_peloton_licenselogs-records.general.active=false"

## **Verifying Log Data Collection**

After configuration, you can verify that the data is collected by following these steps:

1. Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
2. Go to the bin directory, which is by default in C:\\Program Files\\OpeniT\\Core\\bin, run the command:
   - openit_logfilecollector -c "C:\\Program Files\\OpeniT\\Core\\Configuration\\logfilecollector-peloton.conf"
3. Verify that there are \*.data files created in the LogFileCollector directory, which is by default in C:\\Program Files\\OpeniT\\Core\\Log\\temp\\LogFileCollector.
