1855.0. "Problem with automatic reports on AVFW-NT 1.1" by LUX06::GLOESENER () Tue Mar 11 1997 06:22

We have a customer reporting that his reports seem to be generated a few
minutes after midnight in AVFW-NT V1.1 (Windows NT V4.0) and do contain the
data of that same day (i.e. only a few minutes) with no activity in it since
no activity occurs during the night at this customer.

Could anyone enlighten me on how the automatic reports are launched, when
they sould run (before or after midnight) and maybe how this can happen.
I suppose that the reports should run after midnight reporting the previous
day, but obviously the don't do so here.

1855.1Can change time reportgen is run NETRIX::"[email protected]"Jim PyleWed Mar 12 1997 12:0720
The registry key Software\DigitalEquipmentCorp\Firewall\fwmon\reports
controls when the reportgen program is run.  As a workaround, you can
try changing the time so reportgen is run the end of the current day.
Set the hour value to 23, and the minute value to 30.

The proxies close the logs and move them at midnight.  For this workaround
you need to leave enough time for reportgen to finish before the logs get
moved.
This processing time will vary with the log size, and the number and of
reports
desired.

With this workaround, the report will miss the last half hour of the day
(11:30 to 12:00).

I'll look at getting a fix so the automatic reports look at the previous day.
