Sanity Check on network stats

Andy Williams — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 08:04:13 -0000

Collectl 3.5-1
I was just going through the .tab file header to see what gets reported and under the [NET] part you report the number of multicast packets received but there doesn't seem to be a corresponding multicast transmit count. This is also backed up by the fact there's only 9 network stats, which seems odd since they're typically in Tx/Rx pairs.

Do I just need spectacles?

Cheers,

Another minor error

Just logging this to make sure you can get as many fixes as possible into the new release!

Currently using collectl 3.5.1-1
I have a whole load of both system and process data split into hourly files and I want to look at the 11:00-12:00 period:
-rwx------ 1 awilliams awilliams 3125398 Sep 14 08:17 qb5utmen04a-20110913-100000.raw.gz
-rwx------ 1 awilliams awilliams 129308383 Sep 14 08:17 qb5utmen04a-20110913-100000.rawp.gz
-rwx------ 1 awilliams awilliams 4112865 Sep 14 08:17 qb5utmen04a-20110913-110000.raw.gz
-rwx------ 1 awilliams awilliams 163456338 Sep 14 08:18 qb5utmen04a-20110913-110000.rawp.gz
-rwx------ 1 awilliams awilliams 4160156 Sep 14 08:18 qb5utmen04a-20110913-120000.raw.gz
-rwx------ 1 awilliams awilliams 164511290 Sep 14 08:18 qb5utmen04a-20110913-120000.rawp.gz

There's no issue with transforming the system data into a plottable file:
# collectl -p qb5utmen04a-20110913-110000.raw.gz -P -f /perfdata/collectl/20110913/ -w -ocz
#

But when I do the same for process data:
# collectl -p qb5utmen04a-20110913-110000.rawp.gz -P -f /perfdata/collectl/20110913/ -w -ocz
Use of uninitialized value in subtraction (-) at /usr/share/collectl/formatit.ph line 4478.

Problem reporting interrupts in plot mode

Andy Williams — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 13:43:33 -0000

Configuration is collectl-3.5.1-1 running under 64-bit RHEL5.5 on HP ProLiant DL380 G7 server. kernel version is 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5

I have collectl writing data out to the two raw files (system and process data). When playing back interrupts all is OK:

# collectl -sj -p /var/log/collectl/qb5utmen01a-20110831-000000.raw.gz --from 00:00:00-00:00:03
#<---------------------------Int---------------------------->
#Cpu0 Cpu1 Cpu2 Cpu3 Cpu4 Cpu5 Cpu6 Cpu7 Cpu8 Cpu9 Cp10 Cp11
746 0 12 0 21 0 2 0 4 0 10 0
1014 0 6 0 6 0 2 0 6 0 14 0
1014 0 5 0 9 0 4 0 12 0 14 0
#

However, if I add the -P on the end for plot format I get the output in the attachment...

Cheers,

Andy
