RLM allows to control how log files are created and what level of detail is stored in those files. This is controlled through an "ISV options file" (see also http://www.reprisesoftware.com/RLM_License_Administration.pdf). This text file must be created by the administrator and should be located beside the license files that M2M delivers. An example ISV options file can be found in the GeoDict installation folder at RLM/Examples/m2m.opt

The ISV options file for the m2m server must be named 'm2m.opt'. To log the license usage, a text file containing the REPORTLOG, DEBUGLOG and ROTATE parameters is necessary, e.g. similar to the following lines

REPORTLOG +/usr/local/rlmserver/logs/m2m-report.log detailed

DEBUGLOG +/usr/local/rlmserver/logs/m2m-debug.log

ROTATE daily

In this example, a new log file named m2m-report.log.YYYY.MM.DD would be started every day and stored in the /usr/local/rlmserver/logs/ folder. Make sure to adjust file paths inside the file before using the example file.

After this file is created and placed beside the license, it is necessary to shut down the RLM server completely and start it again (it is not sufficient to click on reread/restart in the web interface of the server). RLM will then start logging the usage.

RLM’s report log file format is also described in the RLM License Administration manual, see the section “Reportlog File Format”. The format is not easily human readable and the RLM server does not include tools for a deeper analysis of those files. If such an analysis is needed Math2Market recommends using OpenLM (http://www.openlm.com) for this task.
