2803.0. "V1.1 sho statistic bug?" by ZUR01::SCHNEIDERR () Tue Apr 21 1992 07:14

Hello,

In the Performance Analyzer Manual is written on page 2-7 what partitions you 
should record for the statistical reports from recorded datas.

We do a record for node4, node4 line, node4 circuit on partition * (all).

I do the following commands and get the following messages:

MCC> show node4 zhss05 circ isa-0 all statistics, for start=(31-mar-1992-18:00)-
_MCC> every=1:00 duration=1:00 until=01-apr-1992-06:00

Node4 zhss05 Circuit isa-0

No counters in the counters attribute partition for this entity.



With the IMAM this commands are working. By the way the example command in the
performance manual on page 2-7 doesn't work. There is a bracket to much.

T.R	Title	User	Personal Name	Date	Lines
2803.1	Please check times for all attributes.	TOOK::ANWARUDDIN	Anwar	`Tue Apr 21 1992 11:53`	6
	Please SHOW all COUNTERS and all CHARACTERISTICS for the specified times for the Line and Circuit entities. It is possible that some attributes may have been recorded later than others, in which case you have to specify the later time. You mention that the commands are working with IMPM. Did you specify the same scope of interest time?
2803.2	Yes the same scope of interest	ZUR01::SCHNEIDERR		`Thu Apr 23 1992 11:45`	8
	Yes, of corse, I tried in the IMPM and the FCLPM with the same timevalues. I do exactly what I wrote in .0. I record all partition for circ, line, node4 with default values. Have you tried it out? Does it work in your DECmcc. I tested it inhouse and on a customers DECmcc and on both the same messages. Regards Roland
2803.3	substitute - for : after 1992	ICS::WOODCOCK		`Thu Apr 23 1992 13:00`	12
	try this syntax: show node4 <node> circuit <circuit> all statistic,- for start 23-apr-1992:8:0 every 1:0 until 23-apr-1992:9:0 dur 1:0,- in domain <domain> Note the : after 1992 not a - this works for me. best regards, brad...
2803.4	Will check	ZUR01::SCHNEIDERR		`Thu Apr 30 1992 04:22`	13
	Brad, We tried it with a : and a - after the 1992. We saw no difference. As I told with the IMPM it works and with the FCLPM it doesn't. We will check the counters and the characteristic for the specified time. Remember we are using V1.1 and not T1.2. I tested it on two machines and on both the same messages. But I can't understand if there is a wrong recording why does it work with one PM and not with an other. And the same is working on your machine. Could you tell me what and how often do you record and what timevalues do you use with the show statistic command? Thanks Roland
2803.5	try without date	ICS::WOODCOCK		`Thu Apr 30 1992 09:41`	21
	Hi Roland, I record: Node4 Circuit Counters hourly Node4 Circuit Char. daily Node4 Line Char. daily Time requests each night are typically done for a duration of around 8 hours from a .com file for each circuit. If we need interactive stats I'd only ask for them at a granularity of EVERY 1:0 with DURATION 1:0 because I'm not polling the counters any more frequently. Nothing special. Have you tried getting rid of the DATE to get stats just for today. Example (command used after 10am): Show node4 <node> circuit <circuit> all statis, for start 6:0 every 1:0 - until 10:0 dur 1:0, in domain <domain> best regards, brad...
2803.6	domain??	ICS::WOODCOCK		`Thu Apr 30 1992 09:45`	11
	>MCC> show node4 zhss05 circ isa-0 all statistics, for start=(31-mar-1992-18:00)- >_MCC> every=1:00 duration=1:00 until=01-apr-1992-06:00 Roland, You may also want to try putting the DURATION after the UNTIL. Also did you specify the domain you are recording in at the end of the command??? brad...
2803.7		VCSESU::WADE	Bill Wade, VAXc Systems & Support Eng	`Fri May 01 1992 13:28`	10
	Hi Roland, One problem that I had when I was working with V1.1 and looking at past statistics was the case sensitivity of the node4 name. You need to enter it exactly as it was entered when registered. Try uppercase. Regards, Bill
2803.8	I will check	ZUR01::SCHNEIDERR		`Mon May 04 1992 09:27`	4
	Wow, Thanks for all the reply. I will check all your hints with the customer. I can't do at the moment here in our office. Thanks Roland
2803.9	it doesn't work	ZUR01::SCHNEIDERR		`Tue May 19 1992 09:20`	31
	Hello, Sorry, it doesn't work. What have we done? Now I record linecounter each hour, circuitcounter each hour, circuit and line char once a day. I started all from new. With iconic map I have no problems to get eighter the statistics or the counters for a past time. But with FCL it doesn't work. When I want to get counters for a pasttime (show node4 ... line .. all counters, for start=....) it tells me MCC> show node4 zhss05 line isa-0 all counters,for start=(19-may-1991-12:00)- _MCC> ,in domain=DOMAIN.THR Node4 zhss05 Line isa-0 AT 19-MAY-1992 14:13:33 Counters Requested data not available for specified time MCC> I tried to give the exact time from the sample, read out from the IMPM but the same. When I have a look to the recording (show record) it tells me that everything is o.k., no pollfailure, lots of samples and so on. TFor me the recording is o.k., but there is something in the FCL PM. We tried it with MCC V1.1 and MCC T1.2.7. on both systems the same. As Brad told in RE.5/6 it works on his system. Roland

	by only supplying the start time, you are only asking for a specific instance in time. If you didn't have a data segment stored for that time then you will get the exception that you see. When did you start your recording and at what interval are you telling it to do the recording? jill (sorry for delay in responding, the PA developer has retired recently and we are still working on transitioning his responsibilities into another team.)
