3801.0. "How does Probe Watch capture data?" by CX3PST::NOTAMI::A_ANDERSON (CX03 2/H13 NSU/VAX MacGhille Aindrais) Tue Aug 20 1996 20:46

Hello All,

I have a customer running Probe watch V322 on a Digital Unix work station.

He says it is no longer capturing data.  He claims this used to work then it
quit.  

He wants to know what daemon is responsable for capturing data and how is it
started?  

I just atarted looking at Rmon under win 95 and I dont have any information 
on Probe watch under Unix.  So any help would be appreciated.  Under RMON it
looks like you actually have to do an UPload.  Is this the same under Probe
watch? 

Is there a particular script that needs to be run to start the data 
collection?   Or is it part of the probewatch startup?

Is there a process that is necessary for the data collection? If there is what
is its name?


 
Thanks for any assistance

3801.1is it nslogd?CX3PST::NOTAMI::A_ANDERSONCX03 2/H13 NSU/VAX MacGhille AindraisWed Aug 21 1996 16:4910
I found a pointer to the Use Manual and printed it out.  In section 4.3.8 is
mentions a C:\PROBEW\BIN\NSLOGD.  This path sounds like DOS and not Unix but
I'll have the customer try and locate a NSLOGD file on his system and we will
try to run it and see what happens.  Right now the customer is not returning my
phone calls.  

If I am on the wrong track feel free to correct me.

3801.2looks like its an undocumented daemon dvlogdCX3PST::NOTAMI::A_ANDERSONCX03 2/H13 NSU/VAX MacGhille AindraisFri Aug 23 1996 13:5019
I finally got back in touch with the customer.

He does not have a nslogd file.  So he reinstalled probewatch, still no nslogd,
and logging still does not work.  Finally he deinstalled the product blew away
all the remnants and reinstaleld the product.  Still no nslogd, but logging is
now functioning.  He has located a dvlogd that appears to do the logging.

I have a question.

We are supposed to support this product.  We do not have access to the product
and the manual is WRONG so how the heck do you expect us to help our customer? 
All this is going to do is help them buy another companys product.  This
customer is not a happy camper.
