Server and User Information available as OPC points

[DavidThomas]

Hi

Like the sync percentages and other server information that is available, it would be helpful to have access to other points that are available under the Information tab of the Server Status, without logging onto one of the servers.

Specifically, we would like to be able to display the number of points used, the number of points licensed, the number of ViewX clients used vs the number available (and the same for other types of clients). A customer has asked to trend this so that they can monitor the number of users logging onto different servers to ensure they have a suitable quantity of client licenses on each server. They also want to trend the number of points used to track the system expansion vs when they will need to upgrade.

It would also be good to have the last time a user changed their password available as a field, along with the existing password expiry field.

Finally, it would be good to have an indication that a user has been locked out due to failed login attempts, so that we can easily flag an alarm. The user gets taken out of service, and we are using that to generate an alarm, but a customer with a large system and a lot of users wants to be notified of users disabled due to failed login attempts so that they can investigate if this is an attempted security breach. The user out of service is not a clear warning of this, although it does the job for now.
