For current environments. This report will detail the number of SAM nodes that you have and break it down by each category, which includes:
- A node that has a template applied to it
- A Server that is monitoring Hardware Health
- A Server that is monitoring Asset Inventory
- A Server that is being monitors via Agent or WMI that is monitoring a NIC card
Then a final summation of the 4 categories. Note, the summation is not the sum of each category, as a single SAM node could qualify in all four categories, but it would still count as 1 node.
Update to the report on 2/11/2022. SAM licensing is based on machines that have applications applied to them only, not the summation listed above. So, the report has been updated to reflect that. (Been this way for 2 years, but I thought I was the only one who used this report and I knew of the change, therefore I never updated it, until now.)
