Understanding how VVR stores the statistics

VVR stores the statistics collected for each of the commands, that is, vxmemstat, netstat, vmstat, vxrlink stats, vxrlink status and vxrvg stats in separate files that are stored in the /var/vx/vras/stats/ directory. Each file stores the statistics for a day and only those files for the period specified by the VRAS_STATS_DAYS_LOG variable are preserved. The earlier files are automatically deleted. VVR stores the statistics in files that are named using the following convention:

The data collected for the vxmemstat command is the same as that displayed by the vxmemstat -e command.

The output collected for the vxrlink stats command is a combination of the fields displayed by the vxrlink -e stats command and the vxrlink stats command. Using network performance data the output of vxrlink stats is displayed under the following headings. For more information, see Displaying network performance data.


Messages

The fields displayed under this heading are the same as those displayed by the
vxrlink stats command, with the exception of an additional field Blocks (ACKed). This field displays information about the number of transmitted blocks that have been acknowledged.


Errors

Most of the fields under this heading are similar to those displayed by the
vxrlink -e stats command; however, some of the field names are different. The following table provides the mapping:
