Looking to see if this can be done

Hey folks,

 

 

Looking to see if I can get an answer or at least be pointed in the right direction.

 

 

I have a customer looking to see if I can get some statistics for him for the past six months. Here is what he is looking for

 

 

Things like total number of concurrent connections, average number of concurrent connections per month, most bust month in terms of concurrent connections, load balancing stats, total uptime…….

 

 

The best I could come with so far using the bigpipe command is this

 

 

bigpipe pool vs_public_pool show

 

POOL vs_public_pool LB METHOD round robin MIN/CUR ACTIVE MEMBERS 0/2

 

| (cur, max, limit, tot) = (105, 723, 0, 20.50M)

 

| (pkts,bits) in = (425.4M, 372.8G), out = (650.9M, 6.869T)

 

+-> POOL MEMBER vs_public_pool/10.73.0.76:http inactive,forced down

 

| | session forced disabled priority 0 ratio 1

 

| | (cur, max, limit, tot) = (0, 82, 0, 10668)

 

| | (pkts,bits) in = (81652, 108.2M), out = (54116, 278.7M)

 

| | requests (total) = 16483

 

+-> POOL MEMBER vs_public_pool/10.73.7.50:http active,up

 

| | session enabled priority 0 ratio 1

 

| | (cur, max, limit, tot) = (102, 491, 0, 5.299M)

 

| | (pkts,bits) in = (203.8M, 189.0G), out = (329.5M, 3.607T)

 

| | requests (total) = 16.87M

 

+-> POOL MEMBER vs_public_pool/10.73.7.51:http active,up

 

| session enabled priority 0 ratio 1

 

| (cur, max, limit, tot) = (3, 150, 0, 15.19M)

 

| (pkts,bits) in = (221.5M, 183.6G), out = (321.3M, 3.262T)

 

| requests (total) = 15.19M

 

 

So is there a way I can break it down to say months or getting total uptime for that VIP.

 

 

Anything help would be greatly appriciated.

 

 

Thanks

 

 

Shawn

    Hi Shawn,

     

     

    Those stats are only present from the last time they were cleared or the unit was restarted. To get historical details, you need to collect them off the unit. You could potentially do this with Enterprise Manager or a software package like Cacti:

    Thanks Again Hoolio. Knew I could count on you.

     

     

    That install of cact my have to be done somwhere down the road.

     

     

    One more question.

     

     

    (cur, max, limit, tot) = (102, 491, 0, 5.299M)

     

     

    For the total is the 5.299M represent millon ?

    Yes, M is for million. I thought there was a db key (b db list) you could set to get normalized (k, M, G, T, P, etc) or absolute stats, but I'm having a hard time finding info on it now.
