981.0. "PROBEwatch Windows Graph problems" by DPDMAI::DAVIES (Mark, SCA Area Network Consultant) Thu May 12 1994 11:55

    I am having problems with the graphs on PROBEwatch for Windows.  They
    are as follows:
    
    Etherstats Graph:
    
    The window opens up, but there is no graph.  The message at the bottom
    of the window reads "No domain installed".  Funny message... I got this
    graph  window to open by clicking on the graph buttom in the ALL domain
    window.  WHat does this mean?
    
    Long-Term and Short-Term Graphs:
    
    The windows open up but there is no graph.  There is also no mesage at
    the bottom of the window.  The "Buckets:" and "Sample Interval:" fields
    are empty, almost as if the graph facility has died as soon as it put
    up the window and a little verbage.
    
    Regards,
    
    Mark

981.1	Could someone sum up all problems in ONE notes entry?	OSLACT::BJORN	Bj�rn Olav Haugom	`Fri May 13 1994 05:24`	43
	My problems correspond to those in .0 and in 979. Is it an idea to put all problems of this field test version in one entry? It's easier to monitor replies, then. I've installed PATHWORKS Client V5. I used to have the IP-stack from Hubwatch, but have re-installed it, and configured "Hubwatch only". The AUTOEXEC.BAT contains only variables for HUBwatch, so I guess I'm using the correct IP-stack. 1. When starting Probewatch from Windows, after I've created a file called labprobe.age, the first windows comes up with two agents, pprobe1 and labprobe. A message saying "SNMP-TRAP port (162) is already in use. (this also happens in the Probewatch for Ultrix, notes entry 980, item 2) 2. When clicking on domain view, it is "learning domains", and comes up with the domains I've already installed on the probe. 3. Choosing SEGMENT ZOOM, and Graph next to the Cumulative Statistics, a message saying "Etherstats graphs launched appears in the Segment Zoom window, and a new window pops up with the title "PROBEwatch Ststistics graph". This window has a message saying "No domain installed". This also applies for the Top N Hosts Graph If I choose an item from the Type pull-down menu, I get a program error saying (freely translated from Norwegian) "GRSTAT caused a general protection fault in module GRSTAT.EXE on 0002:158D" 4. If I push the Hosts... push-button, I receive a message saying "unknown agent "labprobe" Check Host file!". My host file conatin an entry for labprobe,and I've also enabled BIND, so it shouldn't be any problem translating the host name to address. The same goes for CONVS. I get a message in my SEGMENT ZOOM window telling me that the application is launched. 5. When Graphing Short-term history, the application is launched, but no graph is showing up as default. I have to pull down the Type menu and choose the type of graph I want, and it's functioning O.K. But please provide a default graph, so that we do know that somethings happening. That's all for now. I'm keeping on playing with it. Bj�rn Olav Haugom
981.2	Half hearted Windows!	WOTVAX::64021::Tim_Banks	Network Mercenary	`Wed May 18 1994 09:26`	19
	RE: point 4 in -1, see 979, put hosts file in IP stack directory for Pathworks (or wherever your IP stack is located) that works so it appears. I have seen all the same problems described earlier, as well as when a window is launching it half writes to the screen, but leaves big holes, and then finishes up later. The whole package seems slow, but that could be due to the network delay to the USA, and the heavy traffic on the probes segment. My PC is a 486 25Mhz with 8 Meg memory and 300Mbs disk. Also, I have found that when running the software for the first time after powering my PC on, I can't launch a domain view, or anything much else. If I quit from the application, and then re-open it all works OK. Thanks Tim

	I have also noticed that menu selections do not work the first time you enter Probewatch, even the exit will not work. I kill the window for Probewatch and restart and then the menu items work. Scott
