6002.0. "Help needed with W614 metrices !" by ZPOVC::VENKAT () Mon May 23 1994 10:08

    Hello,
    
    I need help in capturing metrices from a W614 DECNIS controller.
    
    I use the following set of commands to collect the data :
    
	RECORD NODE .hgo.hgonis HDLC LINK W614-5-0 -
	LOGICAL STATION W614-5-0 -
	       PARTITION=COUNTERS, KEEP AGE=14 00:00:00, POLL PERIOD=1:00, -
	       IN DOMAIN .REPORT
	RECORD NODE .hgo.hgonis MODEM CONNECT LINE W614-5-0 -
	       PARTITION=STATUS, KEEP AGE=14 00:00:00, POLL PERIOD=23:59,  -
	       IN DOMAIN .REPORT
	RECORD NODE .hgo.hgonis ROUTING CIRCUIT W614-5-0 -
	       PARTITION=COUNTERS, KEEP AGE=14 00:00:00, POLL PERIOD=1:00, -
	       IN DOMAIN .REPORT
    
    The data recording into the MCC MIR is working fine with the above
    commands. However when I try to see the Utilization values, I get
    errors something like :
    
    
Node LOCAL_NS:.hgo.hgonis HDLC Link W614-5-0 Logical Station W614-5-0 
AT 18-MAY-1994 01:00:00 Statistics

                   Outbound Utilization = -- Invalid Value
                    Inbound Utilization = -- Invalid Value

Node LOCAL_NS:.hgo.hgonis HDLC Link W614-5-0 Logical Station W614-5-0 
AT 18-MAY-1994 02:00:00 Statistics

                   Outbound Utilization = -- Invalid Value
                    Inbound Utilization = -- Invalid Value


    The above set of commands work fine with W622 controllers.
    
    Can someone help ?
    
    Thanks and Regards,

6002.1	no speed=no metrics	CTHQ::WOODCOCK	Skiing's 1st Human Groomer	`Mon May 23 1994 12:00`	15
	hi venkat, As I replied in mail I will also copy here in case others need to try this. Sorry for the delay in answering. You cannot use the mcc performance analyzer module to calculate statistics with a w614 (or w618) cards. This is because these cards do not read the clock and set the proper value of ACTUAL SPEED in the MODEM CONNECT LINE entity. MCC PA uses this value in the formula and the only interface card to provide a proper value is the w622. Sorry... The only way I see to provide metrics is to store the raw counter as you do today but to extract them raw and do your own calculation. This is done in mcc_rpt for ppp links but I never did it for hdlc with w614/618. cheers, brad...
6002.2	Update	ULYSSE::MORALES	Reddite quae sunt Caesaris Caesari	`Wed Jun 01 1994 06:38`	21
	Hi Venkat, Brad is right, the W614/w618 does not calculate the actual speed like the w622 does. This was discussed at DECNIS V2.1 time in the DECNIS notefile. The good news is that since DECNIS V2.2, if you set the line speed, this value will copied to the actual speed ! And the PA will be happy with it. set modem connect line w614-- speed 64000 and look at the ACTUAL SPEED Don't forget to add this line in the DECNIS extra set file. AS I don't follow regularly this notefile, mail me if you need further details. Manuel.
