4186.0. "DVlogD and Probewatch" by OTOOA::kap430.kao.dec.com::mbaker () Fri Jan 24 1997 15:04

Hi,

We have the Probewatch software configured to do logging of information every 15 minutes (dvlogd).
However it gathers statistics every minutes.


Does it mean that every minutes it will retrieve the 15 entries for the past 15 minutes, or will it retrieve only the last 
entry every 15 minutes ????


Tx

Why do you think that dvlog daemon poll every minutes ?

Please post here a part of your dvlog daemons's log file
($NSHOME/usr/dvlog.log).
or
use dump log utility to view "log time" like below.
# $NSHOME/bin/dumplog <your-agent-name> <your-domain-name> ET

I meant that the Packet probe gathers stats every minutes. 

The dvlog deamon logs it every 15 minutes... That is the problem.

DVLog only logs the last entry every 15 minutes (not all entries for the 
past 15 minutes)

4186.3It's a spec ;-(ZOTTO::ENYAYoshiharu Enya, Tokyo JapanSun Feb 09 1997 22:3936

In case about RMON group "statistics" and "host" and "matrix(conversation)",
packetprobe90 has no polling interval value                       
and just accumulates statisics continuously.

Some applications in RMON Manager/PROBEwatch,
for example, Segment Zoom or Traffic Monitor or Protocol Monitor and so on, 
have its own polling timer and you can change polling timer
at "Sample" pulldown menu.

In case RMON history group,
you can specify its storing(to probe's memory) period and
number of buckets when you install domain.

Dvlog daemon just dose poll values of "statistics","host","matrix"
and store to disk.
Dvlog daemon dosen't poll history values.

I don't know why, but it seems that dvlog daemon polling interval is 
hard coded.
If you want to change that specification, you should contact product manager
of clearVISN/RMON Manager(I don't know who is).
 
You can use another SNMP Manager(such as NetView) to poll rmon values by any 
interval you want and you can save history values, 
but you lose conveniences provided by RMON/Manager Report Generator.
