Hi,
>From my experience with RRR|License and combining logs from Server Groups,
I have found that the logs are very hard to combine. They definitely do
not contain the same data, and the FLOATING-count seems to be that of each
individual server. Excepy when all licenses are in use.
I had to created a service/daemon that polls all the servers to compile a
logfile with "correct" data.
In the log of one server you can see "9 of 100" and on the next lien "all
in use". This means that you have at least 101 individual users logged in
across your servers. If you try to sum up the count from each server, it
may very well add up to more than 100. I suspect that this is due to the
fact that a single user can be connected to more than one server.
