4112.0. "Software logic error detected - bridge statistics" by CUJO::HILL (Dan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer Resident) Wed Nov 18 1992 16:06

    I've been testing STATISTICS partitions for different entities in an
    effort to find a means of detecting a broadcast storm.  To get all of
    the alarm rule syntax squared away, I have been "testing" the following
    alarm rule expression:
    
    (BRIDGE .bridge.DECBG1 LINE 2 count of total frames received >=20000,-
     FOR EVERY 00:00:30 UNTIL 00:05:00 DURATION 00:00:20)
    
    When enabled, an exception results:
      OSI Rule Exception
      Event Type          |QualityofServiceAlarm
              ...
      Additional Info
           significance   |True
           information    |Software logic error detected
           significance   |True
              ...
      Perceived Severity  |Indeterminate
    
    _____
    Did I misunderstand the scope of interest time syntax?  My goal is to
    gather statistics EVERY 30 seconds for a DURATION of 20 seconds and
    alarm on any COUNT OF TOTAL FRAMES RECEIVED >=20000.
    
    The documentation states that eliminating the UNTIL qualifier will
    cause the alarm rule to continue evaluating until Ctrl-C is pressed. 
    This is what I really want, but it doesn't work.  Neither does this.
    
    What gives?

4112.1Use a schedule time and a scope of intrest timeTOOK::A_MOOREWed Nov 18 1992 17:4511
Maybe this will help understand time and stats.

Statistics uses a scope of intrest time to base it calculations.
To repeat it a schedule time is required.

in a show context it is 

show entity foo all statistics -

	at every 00:00:30 for start=now dura=0:00:20

4112.2Need to modify documentation\CUJO::HILLDan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer ResidentThu Nov 19 1992 01:268
    That makes perfect sense.  The documentation is vague on this.  I did
    not see such an easily understood explanation (which I will test
    tomorrow) in the docs.
    
    Some additional work must be done to illustrate this in the docs. 
    Multiple examples would be nice.

4112.3Scope of Interest Time limited to 1 minuteCUJO::HILLDan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer ResidentFri Nov 20 1992 01:395
    Well, I finally found it in the PA documentation.  Seems that you are
    limited to a duration of 1 minute.  This should be fixed in a future
    release.  We need finer resolution.
