Hello! One of our customer has some basic requirements concerning network statistics figures. One of those is network availability (seen from one site) for a couple of important DECnet nodes in the net. We alredy have a simple program which makes calculations based on DECnet events 4.15 (Adjacency up) and 4.18 (Adjacency down) sinked to the DECmcc node and logged in a logging console file. We would like to integrate this functionality in DECmcc and i have the following thougts: - Do we plan to implement generic availability statistics in the report facility? - Is it possible to record/store events (traps) using the Historian/Export FM? In order to be able to base statistics on DECmcc historical data. - Does somebody knows if node availability statistics in DECmcc already is implemented somewere? - I appreciate ideas concerning how to do this! Regards Ulf Wahllof, Telecom Sweden

| 2590.1 | Same request, but more general | PHDVAX::GREBLE | I heard it on the NOTESvine! | Fri Oct 09 1992 11:37 | 8 |
My customer would like to monitor 'network availability'. This
includes VAX Systems, Synoptics Concentrators, Bridges and anything
else which allows user X to get to system Y. Is MCC able to collect
the data for component failures so something else can produce a report?
Thanks
John Greble

Hi, We do some very basic availability metrics using log files. If you have every error placed into a unique monthly log file these metrics are somewhat easy to achieve. Once the errors are in the log file all you need to know is how many devices are polled, how often (monthly), and how many days in the month. You can then determine the total amount of polls for the month and ratio the amount of errors to give you availability. Using different keys within the errored lines (like entity class) you can seperate the errors by class and obtain availability figures for each class device. best regards, brad... | |||||
