Firewall Devices	Devices integrated with firewall network topology.
CLM
Managed Device Certificates Instances	Managed Device Certificates Instances includes all certificates (Client, Code Signing, and Device) excluding Server and OTHERS types, from the inventory in the "Managed" state.
Managed Server Certificates Instances	Managed Server Certificates Instances include only server certificates from the inventory in the "Managed" state.
Managed Certificates Instances	Managed Certificate instance includes all certificates (Server, Client, Code Signing, and others) present in the certificate inventory in the "Managed" state.

DDI
Managed Domains	Each DDI license subscription allows the user a number of managed domains that can be used. The number displays DDI managed domains currently in use.
KUBE
Managed Kube Certificates	Starting v2026.2.0.0, AppViewX switches to a certificate-based licensing model for Kubernetes (which means you will see this metric only if you are a new customer onboarded to v2026.2.0.0 or an existing customer who has upgraded their license to v2026.2.0.0). This number indicates the total active Kubernetes certificates (certificates that are issued, used, and managed inside a Kubernetes environment) being managed in AppViewX. The count includes: Certificates used for: Kubernetes Ingress TLS Service Mesh / pod-to-pod mTLS Internal service-to-service communication Workload identity certificates Short-lived and ephemeral certificates Certificates discovered from: Kubernetes Secrets Service mesh control planes (Istio, Linkerd, Consul, etc.) Integrated internal or external CAs Counting logic for the certificate-based licensing model Certificates that are active in Kubernetes cluster and are in the Managed state in the Appviewx certificate inventory are counted. Each unique certificate is counted once. Certificate renewals and rotations replace the existing certificate entry and do not increase license usage. Certificate re-issuance with key change is treated as a replacement, not a new certificate. Multi-SAN certificates are counted as one certificate. Wildcard certificates are counted as one certificate, regardless of how many workloads consume them. Expired and revoked certificates are not counted. Ephermeral certificates are counted only while active and are automatically removed from usage upon expiration.
Managed Clusters	For all versions prior to v2026.2.0.0, AppViewX uses a node-based and cluster-based licensing model for KUBE. So, until you upgrade to v2026.2.0.0, your KUBE license is measured using the Managed Clusters and Managed Nodes metrics. Managed Clusters indicates the number of distinct Kubernetes clusters onboarded and managed in AppViewX. A cluster is a complete Kubernetes environment that is made up of one or more nodes.
Managed Nodes	For all versions prior to v2026.2.0.0, AppViewX uses a node-based and cluster-based licensing model for KUBE. So, until you upgrade to v2026.2.0.0, your KUBE license is measured using the Managed Clusters and Managed Nodes metrics. Managed Nodes indicates the total number of nodes being managed across all clusters in AppViewX. A node is a physical/virtual machine running in a Kubernetes cluster.
PKI
Certificates Issued	Certificates issued are the total number of certificates which includes the number of certificates issued and all CAs created in PKI. Note: The certificate count begins from the day the project is initialized in Google Cloud Platform (GCP)and is maintained for a year from that date. The count is reset annually.
Total CA(s)	Total CA is Number of CAs created from AppViewX. Each PKI license subscription allows the user a number of total CAs using this license. This is the number of total CAs used.
SIGN
Signature Count	Total count of signing requests executed using the signing policy.

Upgrading Licenses for On-prem
