3400.0. "STATISTIC FOR VITALINK AM ?" by ZPOVC::SINSPS () Wed Jul 22 1992 05:33

    Just to clarify is there a statistic attribute partition for the
    current version of VITALINK AM s/w. If isn't, why ? How can I then do
    performance analysis for TRANSLAN bridge and its lines ? I've just
    installed the s/w onto a DECmcc V1.1 workstation and the customer is 
    expecting it to evaluate the performance of his TRANSLAN bridge. Is
    there a workaround for the time being ?
    
    Thanks,
    Eng Huat.

  No, there isn't.

>   If isn't, why ?

  Vitalink didn't write code to support a Statistics Partition
  and DECmcc's PA FM wasn't modified to calculate statistics for
  Vitalink Bridges.

  I recall seeing notes in this conference dealing with software,
  running outside (but with) DECmcc, which calculated (and I believe
  graphed) Vitalink Statistics.

  Hope this helps...

    Thanks for your quick reply.
    
> No, there isn't.
    
    What's the lastest version of VITALINK AM s/w and will it incorporate
    the statistics attribute partition ?
    
> ....DECmcc's PA FM wasn't modified to calculate statistics for

    What about the next version of DECmcc (1.2 or later) ? Will it be
    modified to calculate statistics for Vitalink Bridges ?

    Are you refering to note 2075.2 ? I've sent a mail to Michel at 
    CHILKA::JAGGI and have yet to receive a reply. Do you happen to
    know other source ?

                 -< will later versions support statistics ? >-
NO.

If you need real-time statistics, you'll have to use SNMP instead of teh
Vitalink Bridge AM (when they finish getting it updated.)

Unless Vitalink has done an about-face, their plans are to make only the
changes required for the AM to work properly within a DECmcc V1.2 environment. 
That's it.
