Measure Reference Manual

SENT-BYTES
Number of FOX message bytes sent by all linker processes running on the local system.
When a process sends or receives a FOX message, the MESSAGES-SENT or MESSAGES-RECEIVED
counter of the PROCESS record for that process is also advanced.
In D-series and G-series RVUs, this is a 32-bit counter.
In G-series RVUs, SENT-BYTES-F field is a 64-bit version of SENT-BYTES.
Counter type: Accumulating.
Legacy Style Only Counter Field DDL Definitions for CLUSTER Entities
These counter fields are used in Legacy Style DDL records only.
Fields are listed alphabetically.
RECEIVED-BYTES-F
In G-series RVUs, same as RECEIVED-BYTES but accommodates larger values (64 bits rather than
32).
REPLY-BYTES
In G-series RVUs, same as REPLY-BYTES but accommodates larger values (64 bits rather than 32).
RETURNED-BYTES-F
In G-series RVUs, same as RETURNED-BYTES but accommodates larger values (64 bits rather than
32).
SENT-BYTES-F
In G-series RVUs, same as SENT-BYTES but accommodates larger values (64 bits rather than 32
bits).
Usage Notes for All CLUSTER Entities
• CLUSTER counters are advanced by the message system during network operations that send
data directly to another system over a FOX link.
CLUSTER does not count messages sent through the network line handler. Those messages
are counted in the NETLINE and SYSTEM counter records. For systems connected by a FOX
link, only messages requiring security checks go through the network line handler.
For example, assume you use FUP COPY to copy a file to a remote system connected by a
FOX link. Because the file security must be checked, the OPEN message is sent through the
network line handler and is counted by the NETLINE and SYSTEM counters. The file data is
sent over the FOX line and is counted by the CLUSTER entity.
• When a process sends or receives a FOX message, the MESSAGES-SENT or
MESSAGES-RECEIVED counter of the PROCESS record for that process is also advanced.
• For detailed information on FOX transfers and Expand line handlers, see the Expand
Configuration and Management Manual and the Expand Network Management and
Troubleshooting Manual.
Usage Note for H-Series and J-Series CLUSTER Entities
CLUSTER entities are not supported in H-series and J-series RVUs, because the underlying component
is no longer supported on the system. MEASCOM does not return a syntax error if you configure
a CLUSTER entity (so old scripts that configure CLUSTER entities don’t have to be modified right
away), but no records are configured or returned.
