Description

This patch includes the lastest version of the flexlogcollector and
flexpoller programs. It fixes a bug in flexpoller that resulted
in crash for some lmstat input files. The flexlogcollector
has been updated with a new configuration parameter that allows
monitoring of FLEXlm debug log files to be done on a host in
a different time zone than where the files is written. 

For each monitored log file an individual timezone object can be
set, e.g

  sources()=""
  {
     Product()=""
     {
       product-name(String)="product"{}
       debug-file(FileName)="/prog/product/log/debug.log"{}
       timezone(TimeSpan)="P2H"{}
     }
     ...
  }
 
NB! Only specify timezone for products that do not orginate
in the same timezone as the collection host

Supersedes Patch Description

Patch 326 — Fix flexpoller crash when parsing RESERVATION lines
Fix problem when reading RESERVATION lines in lmstat output.
Previous version of flexpoller would crash on such input
lines.
Patch 298 — Improved intra process locking (license client update)
This patch replaces the intra process locking mechanism
with thread mutex's instead of semaphores for the
flexlogcollector and flexpoller binaries.
Patch 279 — Update to latest FLEXlm debug collection client
Updates Liencse client to include the latest updates and fixes
to the collection of FLEXlm debug log data.

NB! Please note that the Open iT server need to have patch 278
    installed.
Patch 252 — Ignore some FLEXlm debug lines / client side fix
More FLEXlm debug lines that needs to be ignored:

  20:28:28 (lmgrd) Message volume in last 6 hours:
  20:28:28 (lmgrd)        1337 max msgs per minute, 26281 total msgs

Lines with incomplete timestamp, e.g like

    :39:08 (lmgrd) Retrying socket bind (address in use: port 27182)

is also ignored.
Patch 250 — Ignore some FLEXlm debug lines / client side fix
Some lines in the FLEXlm debug lines have the wrong time stamp.
This patch makes the flexlogcollector pass these lines without
reading their content.
