Cumulative Statistics
The LP software collects port-level statistics (described on page 20-5) every five
seconds. Cumulative Statistics operations accumulate these values at selected
intervals and write the totals to a file at an ICP, INM, or NMP. You can produce a
report listing those totals at each interval within a selected period.
Values of statistics described earlier as “ per second (* 100) ” or
“ per second (* 10) ” are collected here as totals. Values described earlier as
ratios and percentages are still ratios and percentages.
To create or modify a Cumulative Statistics record (you must have master status),
press
[F] , then [A] , then [C] from the Statistics Menu. When prompted, enter the node,
LP, and port numbers.

In a new record, the displayed values for items A and B will both be 0 . Pressing [Enter]
for either will specify the default value (shown in Table 20-1 ). [F4] will say Start if
Cum. Stats. On/Off is 0 or Stop if 1 . Pressing [F4] starts or stops (whichever is dis-
played) statistics gathering, as soon as the change is sent to the node. (This is the same
as changing the value for
Cum. Stats. On/Off .)
Pressing [F4] or changing Cum. Stats. On/Off has no effect until you press
[F6] to update the node or the node is re-booted.
Pressing [F5] will reset the statistics counters to zero.
Pressing [F6] will update the node with a new record or with any changes you made an
existing record. (Otherwise, the changes will take effect at the next IPL of the node.)
