3605.0. "Probeawatch NSRPT & NSLOGD V3.2/V3.3" by GIDDAY::DANIEL () Mon Jun 10 1996 22:09

	Cust is using Probewatch V3.2. Online help does not seem to be 
	consistent with the files physically on the disk.

	For example, for "non-interactive logging and reporting" from DOS 
	prompt:

	Online Help under heading "Non-Interactive logging" the DOS command
	to be used "NSLOGD", but there is no NSLOGD. The correct name should
	be "DVLOGD"

	Also under the heading "Non-Interactive Program" the command mentioned
 	is "NSRPT" & there is no "NSRPT". Only "NSRPTGEN.EXE" 

	The following are my questions:
	1. I have seen this both in Probewatch V3.2 & V3.3  Why is this 
	   difference?
	2. Is there any pointers for sample setup for automatic report 
	   generation using a configuration file?

	Thanks in advance.

	Daniel.

3605.1Any one has done report generation from DOS?GIDDAY::DANIELThu Jun 13 1996 08:5617
Let me rephrase my questions again.

1. Why is there a difference between ONLINE help & the actual filenames?
   Eg. DVLOGD in stead of NSLOGD. Is this also seen in Vendor (Frontier)
   docs?
2. I could not find any program NSRPT to run from DOS. The programs 
   NSRPTGEN.EXE & DVREPORT.EXE need windows to run. They cannot be 
   initiated from DOS prompt. I am looking for pointers as to how to set up
   a command procedure which will automatically generate report without
   having to fill in the details in a window.

Is there anyone who has ever done this?

Thanks in advance.

Daniel.

3605.3not a guruTOOPCS::SELLESTue Jun 18 1996 10:4817
i'm not a guru but the only way i was able to generate
some reports from Probewatch windows 3.3 
was by starting the domain manager window 
then starting the report generator window 
by selecting a domain ;
and as it talks with 
the report deamon , only one report can be done 
at a time ( which is quite slow on the old 
Decpc333 i use ) 

now when the report generator window is started
the domain manager window is no longer needed 

i would be happy also to know how to do this 
"non-interactively" 

bye,	PJ
3605.4Digital Unix solution is dvreportAKSELI::OJUSSILAOlli Jussila, OMS FinlandTue Jun 18 1996 13:3222
    
    I found command dvreport run non-interactive reports in
    Digital UNIX. 
    
    Config file must be in /usr/kits/PROBEwatch/usr
    for example
    # more report_conf.txt
    type: seg-details
    agent: mtv_probe2
    domain: ALL
    header1: MTV A-TALO ethernet segment
    header2: by DECpacketprobe90
    footer: Digital Tietohallintopalvelut
    lpp:72
    
    /usr/kits/PROBEwatch/bin/dvreport probe_report.txt startime endtime >
    o.o
    
    Then we use Netview to produce graphs from this report.

3605.5Any ideas for doing it on PC?GIDDAY::DANIELTue Jun 25 1996 22:4714
    Olli,

	Thanks for your info. Unfortunately cust only has Probewatch on PC.

	Can this be done on Probewatch on PC from DOS prompt non-interactively 
	through a procedure which will execute automatically at a pre-determined
	time?

	Thanks in advance.
    	
	Daniel.
