Appendix B.2. Exposing Driver operating Statistics

The driver makes some of its operating statistics available in a Data Array where they can be read by an upstream device. The lines from the example below can be cut and pasted into a configuration file.

Data_Arrays

 

 

Data_Array_Name,

Data_Format,

Data_Array_length

natsfacp-stats,

UINT32,

1000

The driver maintains one set of stats for each communication port.

To determine the base offset use the following formula:

Base Offset = Port Number * 100 where Port Number is the port number printed in the error log by message #22.
