Chapter 39 Using Switch TopN Reports
Running and Viewing Switch TopN Reports
You can terminate a Switch TopN process invoked with the
background
option only by entering the
clear top
[
report_num
] command. Pressing
Ctrl-C
does not terminate the process. Completed reports
remain available for viewing until you remove them using the
clear top
{
all
|
report_num
} command.
Running and Viewing Switch TopN Reports
To start the Switch TopN Reports utility in the background and view the results, perform this task in
privileged mode:
Note
You must run the Switch TopN Reports utility with the
background
keyword in order to use the
show top report
command to view the completed report contents. Otherwise, the report is displayed
immediately upon completion of the process, and the results are not saved.
If you specify the
report_num
with the
show top report
command, the associated report is displayed.
Each process is associated with a unique report number.
If you do not specify the
report_num
variable, all active Switch TopN processes and all available Switch
TopN reports for the switch are displayed. All Switch TopN processes (both with and without the
background
option) are shown in the list.
This example shows how to run the Switch TopN Reports utility with the
background
option:
