The License Pool Management section in the QRadar Admin tab is the designated interface for managing and monitoring license allocations across all hosts in a deployment. This screen provides a comprehensive table view of each host's license capacity, current usage, and other key metrics. The "License Giveback" rate, which indicates the amount of unused license capacity a host is returning to the shared pool, is explicitly displayed as a column in this table for each applicable host.

A. The "System Settings" section contains general system-wide configurations, but the specific, detailed license allocation and giveback metrics are located in the dedicated "License Pool Management" area.

B. Ariel Query Language (AQL) is used for searching and analyzing event and flow data stored in the Ariel database, not for querying internal system configuration or license metrics.

D. The Log Activity tab is for viewing and analyzing security events. While license-related system notifications might appear here, it is not the correct tool for monitoring a specific metric like the giveback rate.

1. IBM QRadar SIEM Administration Guide: In the section on license management, the guide details the "License Pool Management" window. It states, "Use the License Pool Management window to manage the EPS and FPM license allocations for each host in your deployment." The interface described explicitly includes columns for monitoring license giveback. (Reference: IBM Documentation, QRadar SIEM, Administering QRadar > System settings > License management > License pool management).

2. IBM QRadar SIEM Core Functionality Guide: This guide explains the concept of shared license pools and the giveback feature. It directs administrators to the Admin tab and the License Pool Management icon to view and configure these settings, confirming it as the location to see the giveback status and rate. (Reference: IBM Documentation, QRadar SIEM, Core Functionality > Data collection > Event and flow processing > Shared license pools).
