SYSTEM STATISTICS

OVERVIEW

Statistics can either be generated by issuing the ds command to display the set of statistics known as the System Statistics, or by issuing a specific command to display statistics in a specific category.

In addition to using the ds command to display the system statistics, they are also automatically written to a statistics log every 30 minutes. The statistics are stored in the following location:

Directory: \log

File Name: stat_log.nn

(“nn” is an integer that is incremented each time a new file is written.

You may display these log files using DOS commands. For example, to display the statistics log with the extension of 10, you could enter the following command at the DOS prompt:

C:\> type \log\stat_log.10more

Note: The log extensions are revolving numbers. When your machine first begins operating, the files will progress from the .01 extension to the .10 extension. After that time, the oldest report (.01) would be replaced with the latest report. To make sure you are viewing the log file you wish to see, issue a DOS dir command of the log directory to display the time that each log file was written to disk.

The first set of statistics, System Statistics, are arranged by function. These are:

•connectivity statistics

•call restriction statistics

•call statistics

•throughput monitoring statistics

The rest of the statistics are arranged in alphabetical order. These statistics pertain to specific features. The statistics you choose to display will depend on which system options you have enabled. These statistics provide valuable information.
