Reporter
Introduction
5967–9446 45
Reporter cleans up its temporary files once they are no longer needed.
(As discussed on page 137, a temporary report output file is not deleted
automatically if the output is processed by a command.)
You can suppress the clean up of temporary files by running Reporter
with a debug logging level of 5. For details, refer to the man pages for
reporter(1) and reportgen(1).
About LOW-CONTRIB, TCP-other, and UDP-other
Reporter graphs may include some special entries: LOW-CONTRIB,
TCP-other, and UDP-other.
The LOW-CONTRIB item accounts for any hosts or protocols that are not
identified individually or cannot be decoded by Extended RMON Module
(ERM). The mechanism that assigns less-significant entries to LOW-
CONTRIB is dynamic. As such, the hosts or protocols represented by
LOW-CONTRIB may vary over the duration of a report. For details, refer
to the Extended RMON Module chapter in Data Collector Reference and
to the netmd.config file.
TCP-other and UDP-other represent a range of TCP or UDP protocols.
The range is defined in the configuration file ipport.equiv, but may be
overridden by the file sysprotolist on the ERM host.
By default, protocols that use TCP ports 512 through 65535 are com-
bined into the TCP-other entry, and protocols that use UDP ports 512
through 65535 are combined into the UDP-other entry. Protocols in the
NetMetrix built-in list and those that are specifically enumerated in the
sysprotolist file are not affected by the ranges set in ipport.equiv
and will be processed as individual entries.
You can change the configured range by editing ipport.equiv, as dis-
cussed in the Extended RMON Module chapter in Data Collector
Reference and in the ipport.equiv file.
