User Groups, Transfer Monitors, and System Counters

  • Updated
 

About User Groups

The VersaLex User Groups panel is view-only and shows which user groups have been granted access to this VersaLex instance or its pool. Access is granted in each user group via the User Group: System Privileges Tab.

About Transfer Monitor

The VersaLex Transfer Monitor panel displays a graphic image of either the Bytes or Files transferred (Inbound, Outbound or in Both directions) for each instance of VersaLex software in the pool for the time period specified by the Filter. You can set the Duration for a period of hours using the pull-down values or by specifying any value between 1-48 hours. Additionally, values in the form :MM can be used to specify a period less than an hour.  Pre-defined values are specified in the pull-down list, or any value between :01 and :59 may be specified. The graph will refresh automatically after every Auto-Refresh Interval (between 5 and 60 seconds) when the End Date/End Time is today/now. 

Note: Graphical monitoring of transfers data is only available for VersaLex instances using Database Transfer Logging.  If any VersaLex instances are using a database product that is different from the database used by the local VersaLex application, those drivers must also be installed in the local lib/ext directory.

See Saving or printing the graphs for information about saving or printing the graphical output.

Getting Finer Granularity In Your Graphs

Cleo VLNavigator provides mechanisms for displaying finer granularity, especially when there are many data points within a specified time range. As mentioned in the previous section, durations of less than an hour can be specified to narrow the range of the plotted data points by optionally changing the End Date and/or End Time. Additionally, the data range can be zoomed in by dragging the mouse from left to right over a range of data points until the desired granularity is achieved.

In the following example, the range before 08:00 and after 12:00 has been selected (denoted by the gray box around the selected area):

Then, the following updated graph is displayed:

This procedure can be done multiple times until the desired granularity is reached.

Another option for shrinking or expanding the displayed data set is to use the popup menu options available by right-clicking anywhere on the graph to Zoom In, Zoom Out or Reset the display back to the original graph:

Whatever method is chosen for zooming, Refresh will also reset the display to the original non-zoomed graph.

About System Counters

The VersaLex System Counters panel presents a graphical representation of the system counter data for the associated VersaLexsystems in the pool. The VersaLex application keeps track of various system counters.  These counters start accumulating from the first time VersaLex software is invoked after product installation, and they continue accumulating while VersaLex software is running. They are only reset when an overflow condition would occur. The following data are recorded:

  • From: date/time the counter data were started
  • To: date/time this display was last refreshed
  • Uptime: percentage of time the VersaLex application has been running between the from-date and to-date.
  • The following transfer counters, grouped by protocol:
    • Files In
    • Files Out
    • Total Files
    • Bytes In
    • Bytes Out
    • Total Bytes

The pie chart shows a distribution of the transfer data by protocol. When viewing the chart, either the Bytes or Files transferred (Inbound, Outbound or in Both directions) can be displayed. Refresh is used to update the display in the case where new counter data are available (for example, a new transfer has occurred). See Saving or printing the graphs for information about saving or printing the graphical output.
