Yes, soon you'll have the ability to use a library that can get all this information in real-time.
How to get the number of leases remaining in turbofloat server
srinivasHello,
The turbo float server's config file has an entry <log file="tfs-log.txt" level="notification"/>. This shows the number of computers that have taken the lease, remaining lease and other useful information.
My question is if there a programmatic way (API Call )by which we can show a turbofloat server admin how many leases have been used/remaining instead of showing them just lengthy raw log files?
Please let me know if there is such a way. Thanks!
I'm currently searching for this, was this implemented?
Specifically, I'm looking for (1) total count, (2) remaining count, (3) what IP addresses currently occupy the ones in use. I'm expecting users to occasionally expect less to be in use than what is actually in use, and want to know more about which computers are sitting on either live or zombie leases.
No, that library was delayed in favor of other developments.
If you enable notification logging on the TFS you’ll have a log of every person with an active lease.
A real-time view of leases will be a part of hosted TFS servers (coming soon).
Ah! I had logging enabled, but just noticed the “notification” level which does what I was looking for. Thanks!
