Log badge consumption?

SOLVED

We would like to proactively monitor our badge usage so we aren't blindsided with capped out concurrent sessions.

We're a global organization, so our badges aren't really a 1-to-1 ratio for our user counts.  By the time our west cost users are logging on, our European offices are logging off for the day.

I'm looking for something that will help me to log badge counts throughout the day.  Specifically, I want to see the max badge count for each day so we know when we're getting close to needing to purchase additional licenses.

Has anyone else come up with any clever solutions for this?

    Along with what has already been shared, there is a built-in menu to view currently-in use licenses/badges

    Just go to Administration -> Usage -> License Follow-up

    Thank you, I was aware of this functionality.  What we needed was a means of logging historical license usage for the purposes of proactive management of our licensing (when we're doing budgets, they like to plan ahead for how much to increase licenses).

    Using the script provided by Joseluis (I had to make some adaptations for our v11 environment), I was able to set our system to "snapshot" badge consumption at 15 minute intervals and dump that info into a table for reporting purposes.  It is working brilliantly!
