 Posted: Mon Mar 14, 2005 10:40 am Post subject: Summary Statistics question |
 |
|
Hi Greg,
Great piece of software very impressed at this early stage.
I am using the Summary statistics function and reporting Username, Date Time, and TOC.
I note that TOC is a representative of Total Cumulative Bytes sent - my question - Cumulative from what point ?? i.e. from the last start of the server, from the start of the month, ever ??? etc etc.
The follow up is how do i reset the counter ?? i.e. elts say i would like to do a summary report for each month of TOC - is there a way to reset the counter at midnight on the last day of the month ?? I can automate this if required with scripts/batches just need to know what to automate
regards

Craig, stats are accumulated while the server is up and reset when the service is restarted. It does not "remember" the stats.
Another way to do this is to output connection stats and summarise. You can imbed % substitution fields into the file name to include the month name (and day and year if required). You can import into excel and summarise.

Greg,
Ok thanks for the reply. I will test this but just to confirm - statistics coutners are reset when the Server is reset or when the Service is started and stopped (which would obviously also happen when the server is reset !!)
The reason i ask is that i could do a start and stop of the service each night at midnight and then i would have daily logs of everyones traffic. This is much easier to summarise than having to wade through the connection stats and filter in excel etc.
Might be a thought as to whether you could add program control down the track i.e. if someone uses substitions in the filename (as i have done) then reset the counters based on those substitutions i.e. if i say i want dialy summary logs then report the stats on a daily basis also ??
