Define Monitor Usage Limit
Being an MSP admin, you can prevent any unforeseen usage of monitors by restricting the monitor usage count in the customer account. This can be achieved by setting an upper usage limit for the basic and advanced monitors, separately. Once you've defined the upper usage limit for the basic monitors, advanced monitors and network interfaces you cannot add more monitors than the set limit, even when you've any unused monitors in the license. Other customer accounts can still use these unused monitors, if needed. You can always modify the usage limit, if you wish to add more monitors later.
All your existing configured monitors will continue to be active, even when your defined usage limit for the monitors is set at a lower value compared to the current usage. Also, if the defined usage limit is set at "0", no monitors can be further added to the account.
Use case:
Let's delve into an example to quantify this further. Say your MSP account has 50 basic monitors and 3 advanced monitors in total. You've also setup two customer accounts, Customer A and Customer B. Now, consider you've defined an upper usage limit of 25 basic and 1 advanced monitors for Customer A, whereas there isn't any upper usage limit defined for Customer B.
In this scenario, the Customer A will be able to add a maximum of 25 basic and 1 advanced monitors only. Assuming Customer A uses 15 basic and 1 advanced monitors from the entitled quota, only 10 basic monitor and no advanced monitors can now be added. Now, if you decide to modify the upper usage limit to 30 basic and 2 advanced monitors for Customer A, the usage limit will be reset accordingly. On the other hand, the Customer B will have access to all the unused monitors, till an upper usage limit is defined.
