Subscription Data Collected by SL1
With a subscription, SL1 collects and sends billing data to ScienceLogic via secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS). During this collection, SL1 collects device configuration data and statistical metadata only; no specific performance collection data is included.
ScienceLogic uses the data collected for each device to assign a license to the device, and you are billed based on the number of device licenses you consume. The rules that govern how licenses are assigned are based on your subscription with ScienceLogic. Certain types of devices do not count against your device license usage in SL1. For more information, see the Non-billable Devices section.
SL1 collects the following billing data from customer systems:
- Device configuration data that is recorded per-device
- System configuration data
- Device statistics data that is recorded per-device and per-collection type and aggregated daily
Each device is categorized based on whether it is managed as infrastructure, is part of a managed application, or is part of a managed service.
The following table lists the specific data that is collected:
Collection | Data Collected |
---|---|
Per SL1 System |
|
Per Device |

Non-billable Devices
Typically, any device that SL1 is monitoring will consume a single ScienceLogic device license. This one-to-one relationship between a device and a device license is in use regardless of whether the device is a physical device monitored via direct network polling, a virtual device with no network address of its own, or a component device that was created in SL1 with a Dynamic Application or through relationships between Dynamic Applications.
Even if you turn off data collection for a device, that device still consumes a single ScienceLogic device license.
There are, however, some devices that do not consume device licenses.
- Devices in a virtual collector group. Virtual collector groups do not perform collection on any devices aligned with them; they serve only as a means of storing historical data from those devices.
- Devices assigned specific device classes. This includes SL1 appliances and logical component devices such as AWS Regions, VMware Folders, and so on.
- Devices with no performance data in the last 24 hours. (Dependent upon your pricing plan.) If a device is in user-maintence mode with maintenance collection enabled, the device will still be considered active. To be considered inactive, there must be zero collection events in the last 24 hours.
