2833.0. "exporting statistics?" by CLARID::HOFSTEE (Take a RISC, buy a VAX) Thu Apr 23 1992 11:18


I have some questions on the way the exporter works when exporting statistics.
I understand that when you export data with an export period of let's say
20 minutes , the exporter exports ALL attributes for the entity. Let's
assume we have an SNMP entity for which I export data with an export
period of 20 minutes and that I start this operation at 9:10.
Then normally I would expect data to be available at 9:10,9:30,9:50. But how does
this work for the exported statistics? I seem to remember that the default
duration for statistics calculations is 1 minute. 

My questions are :

1. Does that mean that the
exported statistics are available  at the same moments as mentioned above
and calculated over the last minute of each interval (9:09-9:10,9:29-9:30 etc)
or will this data be available one minute later and calculated over
(9:10-9:11,9:30-9:31) .

2. How can I change the default duration that the exporter uses for the
   statistics.

3. What happens if this duration is greater than the export period? So let's
   say you have an export period of 20 minutes and a duration of 1 hour. 
   Is this possible and when will the exporter export the statistics and 
   over what time period are they calculated?
   will it execute an export command at 9:10,9:30 etc, and the results be
   available at 10:10,10:30

Thanks 

Timo

2833.1duration = export period - deltaTOOK::SHMUYLOVICHThu Apr 23 1992 13:1412
	where delta is a delay which depends on the response time
	      from Show commands and the system load.

	If we assume that the system is not busy and the response time = 0
	than the delay = 30 sec.

	So if you specify export period = 20 min duration will be 19 min 30 sec.

2833.2some clarificationCLARID::HOFSTEETake a RISC, buy a VAXFri Apr 24 1992 05:3320

Let's see if I understand you correctly:

1. The DURATION to calculate statistics is always (almost) the same as the
   export period.

2. Suppose I see in my RDB file the following values: (Export period 00:10:00)
        
          in_packets 
   9:10   200   
   9:20   300
   9:30   100
 
   It means that the polled IP system received 300 packets between 9:10 and 9:20

 Thanks
