Log and Event Manager licencing

Hi,

We are about to purchase Solarwinds but need to work out licensing costs first.

We have 10 hosts running docker, there are 50 containers running across the hosts. If we wanted to log data for all containers how many LEM licenses would this use. 10. 50 or 60?

Thanks,

Phil

  • It depends on exactly what you are doing, but, LEM is licensed based on the number of source addresses. I would expect you would need a 60 if you want to collect events from the 10 hosts and each of the 50 containers. You will be able to get a lot of information from the hosts, but if you want to collect something from inside the container, you'll want to account for that. Again, it depends on what logs you are collecting specifically and what is only available inside the container.
