6.1Driver Stats

The statistics recorded by the GE-SNPX Serial Driver are slightly different from the way that Fieldserver driver normally record statistics. This difference arises from the fact that this driver is not a simple poll response driver. Bare in mind that a single poll can generate a large number of response fragments.

Fragment Ack/nack messages are NOT counted as message but the bytes sent/rcvd are counted. Connection messages are counted as messages and the bytes sent/rcvd are counted.

This driver can expose these and additional statistics by writing data to a data array.

A special map descriptor is required. The driver recognizes the map descriptor by its name which must be "SRTP-stats" .

The following example shows how this special map descriptor can be configured.

Nodes

Node_name, Protocol null_node, SRTP

Data_Arrays

Data_Array_Name, Data_Format, Data_Array_Length

SRTP_STATS , UINT32 , 600

Map_blocks

Map_block_Name, Data_Array_Name, Node_name, Length

srtp-stats

, SRTP _STATS , null_node , 600

When the driver sees this map descriptor it uses the data array SRTP _STATS (in this example) to store driver specific statistics. Only one of these map descriptors may be specified (per tier) per FieldServer.

The driver stores the following stats for each port.. The offset into the data array can be found by multiplying the port number by 50
