Usage Reporting
As part of the install process, a daemon (dragen_licd) is created (or stopped then restarted). This background process self-activates at the end of each day to upload DRAGEN host software usage to anIllumina server. Information includes date, duration, size (number of bases), status of each run, and software version used.
Communication to theIllumina server is secured by encryption. If there is a communication error, the daemon retries until the next morning. If the upload continues to fail, communication is tried again the following night until communication succeeds. This means that during working hours, the system resources remain fully available and are not in any way hampered by this background activity.
To check the current license usage, use the dragen_lic command.
