NetworkTraffic

[Global Server Operation]

Is there a way to find out what if network traffic increased on a specific port between a certain timeframe? I'm asked this question and not sure if historical data can be pulled regarding this? All replies are appreciated.

If you have Measureware (Openview Performance agent) installed and running then this is possible. If not, I don't think so.

Thanks. SO I should be able to use extract to get this information? Also when I use extract how do I read it?

Patrick, can you tell me how I can extract that data?

Shalom,

This script set does include a section on network performance. It runs background and you can set the time for it to collect stats.

Thanks.But can someone tell me how to view data from measureware whether I extract it or export it?

You can use the measureware 'extract' utility to extract the data. This will generate a file with the metrics you extract.

You can then use excel to generate a graph of the data.

If you just type '/opt/perf/bin/extract' at the prompt the you will get a myriad of choices and some good help is available.
