1322.0. "PROBEwatch Windows Questions?" by STKAI1::SVANA () Thu Aug 18 1994 13:28

Hello!  We have a couple of questions according Probewatch for MSWindows.

	We are working on an installation in a truckfactory/construction- 
	plant. Their Network will be monitored/managed via Probewatch/Hubwatch.
	Each of their 6 segment will have a DECpacketprobe installed. 
	(DH90 and standalone.)

	We are now preparing for the installation. Some questions has occured
	while planning/setting up this system.

	1) Since the site is a intensive VAX/Cluster installation. Can we see
	   SCS-packets somehow? 

	2) Is there a way setting up The Data Collection to able to see	
	   history? Meaning - is there a way to see what happend last night?
	   Our struggel to set up the collection has just given us 1 minute
	   of data. Are we missing something here?

	3) More in data collection: We can't set up more than 64kbyte in
	   buffer size. When setting up above 64kb the application signals
	   for us that the value must be 16-1024kbyte? Any sense?

	4) To able to give the customer networkutilization trends for capacity-
	   planning (or equal). Are there ways of collecting in a more
	   long term basis?

	
	Thanks very much in advance!

	Bosse and Johan

This should be quite straigtforward using Long Term history; the default interval for Short Term history is 30 seconds, and for Long Term history is 1 minute. You are missing something here. > 3) More in data collection: We can't set up more than 64kbyte in > buffer size.

Any sense? 1 Mbyte and 1024Kbyte are equivalent; I will try this again, but I have not been having a problem. > 4) To able to give the customer networkutilization trends for capacity- > planning (or equal).

Look for Version 2 in October.

Version 2 of PROBEwatch will have a filter editor to allow construction of
