Not as far as I know.
You will, however, be able to use the SNMP statistics against their (as
yet unreleased) 10.5 SNMP agent software for TransLANs.

| 2075.2 | Small tool can give what you need | CHILKA::JAGGI | | Mon Jan 20 1992 07:29 | 49 |
| I have written a small tool that give what you want under a graphic
representation (using DECgraph). Below follows the description, if you
find the tool usefull send me mail and I will let you know where you can
get them.
Description:
Few words on my translan graphic tools :
o 4 exe are provided to produce the following graphs :
- Utilization in percent of the line bandwidth
- Packet rate forwarded on the specified line
- Number of errors on the specified line
- Ethernet contention on the ethernet port of the translan
o The C programs are very simple and are not doing any hourly normalization
If you want value to be hourly normalized, then you have to poll every
hour. All the programs are doing, are taking values from the RDB database
and produce the file.GRL for DECgraph, whatever the polling intervals
were.
o The programs use C and SQL to read data out of the exported RDB database.
Therefore you need RDB full development kit to run them in order to
get SQL.
o The programs computed the value for each intervals. If one or several
interval are missing, then the number of fails are reported in the
graph. You may then look at the GRL file to see which pools are missing.
o The programs are smart enough to manage the time between one
day and the other. The range period must be specified as proposed in the
prompt and the date of the day must be specified even if the period
of interest is the same day. The reason is very simple, it get simpler
the input analysis.
o All programs are producing two files each :
- name.GRL which contains the DECgraph load commands to produce
the graph. The file name remains the same for each
different entity you looking at. Therefore you need
to rename the name before producing another graph
for another entity.
- name.COM which contains the DCL command to invoke DECgraph
with the correspondant GRL file.
o Translan entity names need to be specified as a FULL DNS name.

| 2075.3 | URGENT needs to generate VITALINK PA reports | ZPOVC::SINSPS | | Wed Jul 22 1992 11:00 | 14 |
| RE .2
Hi Michel, I'm interested in your program because my customer is
expecting the VITALINK AM s/w which he had just purchased to produce
some performance reports. However, the customer did not purchased the
full RDB development kit nor the DECgraph s/w. Will your program still
be able to generate the same essential reports or are there ways to
modify your program to work without the above-mentioned s/w.
Nevertheless, please send either to ZPOVC::ENGHUAT (VAX mail) or
ENG-HUAT LEE@ZPOVC (A1 mail) to indicate where I can get your program.
Thank you,
Eng Huat.
