Workload Guardian License

Workload Guardian offers cloud account monitoring and protection around the virtual machines.

There are 3 types of virtual machines that count towards Workload Guardian license usage:

Cloud Platform

Virtual Machine Type

Amazon AWS EC2 instances
Microsoft Azure Azure Virtual machines
Google Cloud Platform Compute engine VM instances

Requirement

Requires all cloud accounts to have equal or less number of seats as the number of virtual machines to maintain monitoring.

Insufficient License /License over usage

  • Monitoring stops when the number of virtual machines exceed the number of license seats for more than 48 hours.
  • After 48 hours, the cloud account with the least number of virtual machines will be stopped to minimize impact, the account status will be shown as "Off by System".

  • Storage Guardian will also stop monitoring when Workload Guardian stops monitoring the same cloud account.
If your cloud account status is "Off by System", it is due to license over usage. For more details on turning Workload Guardian back on, please see Turn on Workload Guardian
