License Information

All the G-vTAP instances connected to GCB periodically report the statistics to GCB. Then the GCB periodically reports the collective statistics of G-vTAPs and its own statistics to GigaVUE-FM for Volume-Based Licensing. GigaVUE-FM adds the required licensing tags into the Elasticsearch.

In the Volume-Based Licensing scheme, a license entitles specific applications on your devices to use a specified amount of total data volume over the term of the license. The distribution of the license to individual nodes or devices becomes irrelevant for Gigamon’s accounting purpose. GigaVUE-FM tracks the total amount of data processed by the various licensed applications and provides visibility into the actual amount of data, each licensed application is using on each node, and tracks the overuse if any.
