App Metering: Tracking Application Installs and Usage

App Metering: Tracking Application Installs and Licence Usage

App Metering in Eido allows you to monitor how applications are distributed across your environment, including version breakdowns, device installs, and licence usage.

It also enables you to define thresholds so that application usage can be surfaced using RAG (Red/Amber/Green) status, helping you quickly identify potential issues such as over-utilisation.

What is App Metering

App Metering is a feature that provides deeper insight into how an application is used across your environment.

When enabled, it allows you to:

• view application versions in use

• see how many devices are running each version

• track licence usage percentage

• apply thresholds to visualise usage status (RAG)

This builds on the Apps page by adding both visibility and control over application usage.

Enabling App Metering

App Metering is configured per application.

To enable it:

1. Navigate to Apps

2. Select an application from the list

3. Click App Metering

4. Toggle Enable App Metering

5. Click Save

Once enabled, Eido will begin tracking version and usage data for that application.

Licence Usage and Thresholds

App Metering allows you to track licence usage % for an application.

You can define thresholds that determine how usage is displayed:

• Green - usage is within acceptable limits

• Amber - usage is approaching the defined threshold

• Red - usage exceeds the defined threshold

This allows you to quickly identify applications that may require action, such as licence optimisation or compliance review.

Why Use App Metering

App Metering helps you move beyond visibility into actionable insight.

It enables you to:

• monitor licence usage across applications

• identify over- or under-utilised licences

• track version adoption

• support licence optimisation and compliance

• prioritise action using RAG status
