About this task
Use the analyze_sessions utility, under the /opt/dtc/app/utils/ directory, to
monitor the data statistics for the backup and deduplication sessions of your
ProtecTIER system.
Procedure
1. Change to the
/opt/dtc/app/utils/
directory.
2. Type ./analyze_sessions at the command prompt.
Usage options Explanation
-n Number of previous months back to scan.
-sd The <source directory> option is for
working on compressor (.csv) files in
locations other than the default
miscellaneous directory of compressor
-io (I/O throttle in MB/s) This tool runs on
the machine, so that the available
resources from the machine are not
depleted. The default value is 5MB/s.
-daily Adds a section with a line for each day.
-hourly Add a section with a line for each hour.
-d After the session is idle for more than <x>
(1-20 minutes) amount of time, a new
session is started.
-s (Start date) Date format is
YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM, e.g.
2006-09-30-05-23. The processed times are
startTime <= time <= endTime.
-e
(End date) Date format is
YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM, e.g.
2006-09-30-05-23. The processed times are
startTime <= time <= endTime
-o <output file name> The output data is
dumped into this file, instead of output on
the screen.
-min Minimal output displays "all" with the
grand totals and headers. The daily and
hourly flags are overridden.
Nosessionfilter Includes all sessions, even the small ones,
in the sessions list. For example, if you
have a session that is smaller than 1MB, it
is included in the output. (The minimum
file size with the session filter is 1MB.)
3. An output file containing statistics for the recent sessions is generated at the
following location:
/ptwork/<server name>-<date>-<time>.csv during the
respective time period.
Results
The following is an example of running the
analyze_sessions
utility with the
-l
and
-i
server options to display a list of the cartridge names and their totals in the
report:
