NAME
uurate - Report Taylor UUCP statistics
SYNOPSIS
uurate [
-acdefhipqtvx ] [
-s
host
] [
-I
config
][
logfile... ]
or simply,
uurate
for a traffic summary report.
DESCRIPTION
The
uurate
command provides tabular summary reports on the operation of the
Taylor UUCP system. Data is taken from the currently active log
files, standard input, or from a list of log files given on the
command line. Output is in the form of tabular reports summarizing
call, file transfer, and command execution
(
uuxqt)
activity.
The log and stats files given to
uurate
must be in the ``Taylor'' or ``V2'' format. Also, note that call and file
transfer activities are logged in separate files, nominally called
Log
and
Stats,
respectively. For reports to be meaningful, the
Log
and
Stats
files should be given to
uurate
together, and cover the same time period.
If neither the
-i
or
-I
option nor any
logfile
options are given,
uurate
defaults to taking its input from the current Taylor
Log
and
Stats
files. The names are either as defined at compilation time, in case
there is no config file, or taken from the arguments of the keywords
logfile
and
statfile
when encountered in the config file.
This is the normal mode of operation.
The reporting options described below can be used to select
the set of reports desired. If no options are given, a summary
report is displayed. If there is no relevant data for a particular
report or host, that report or host will be suppressed.
OPTIONS
The following options may be given to
uurate:
- -a
-
All reports. Identical to
-cfexp.
- -c
-
Report on call statistics. Requires data from a
Log
file.
- -d
-
will print the default config file to be used.
- -e
-
Report on efficiency (total connect time versus time spent transferring
files). Requires data from both a
Log
and a
Stats
file, and they must span the same time period.
- -f
-
Report on file transfer statistics. Requires data from a
Stats
file.
- -h
-
will print a short help information.
- -i
-
tells uurate to read any logfile information from standard input.
- -p
-
report on protocol errors and packets sent/received
- -q
-
do not print the Environment information,
- -t
-
All reports. Identical to
-cfexp.
plus the
Compact summary.
- -v
-
will print the version id string
- -x
-
Report on remote execution requests (e.g.,
rmail).
Requires data from a
Log
file.
- -s host
-
Restrict report output to
host.
- -I config file
-
an alternate config file may be passed by this option.
DESCRIPTION OF REPORTS
There are four reports available: the call, file transfer, efficiency,
and remote execution reports. Each may be selected by a command line
option. All reports may be selected via the options
-a
or
-t.
If no report selection options are given,
uurate
displays a compact traffic summary report (see below).
Summary report
If no report options are given,
uurate
displays a traffic summary report. This is particularly useful in daily
cron
jobs which report on errors and the like. Traffic statistics for each
active system is reported on a single line. If more than one system was
active, a 'totals' line is included at the end of the report.
Protocol packet report
The protocol report gives statistics on min/max packet and window sizes
used during transmission. Further on data is collected for packets
transferred. The data is collected for each host/protocol type.
The fields are described below:
site UUCP node name of neighbor host system,
typ Type of protocol used
Min minimum packet/window size
Max maximum packet/window size
sent packets sent
resent packets resent
received packets received
Protocol error report
The protocol report gives statistics on packet errors
during transmission. The data is collected for each host/protocol type.
The fields are described below:
site UUCP node name of neighbor host system,
typ Type of protocol used
header number of errors in header
checksum number of checksum errors
order number of order errors
resent number packets resent
rem-reject packets that the remote site rejected
Call report
The call report gives statistics on inbound and outbound calls for
each active host system. The fields are described below:
site UUCP node name of neighbor host system,
succ. Successful calls attempted to/by that system,
failed Failed calls to/by that system,
total Total calls to/by that system,
time Collected connect time (hh:mm:ss) for all calls,
File transfer reports
The file transfer reports give statistics on inbound and
outbound file transfers (regardless of which end initiated the transfer)
for each active host system. There are two reports, one for files
sent to the remote system and one for files received from the remote
system. The fields in each report are described below:
site UUCP node name of neighbor host system
files Number of files transferred
Bytes/1000 Total size of files transferred given in thousands
xfr time Total time (hh:mm:ss) spent on transfer the files,
B/sec Average transfer rate (bytes/sec).
Efficiency report
The efficiency report describes the utilization of the links
to each active remote system, giving the ratio of total connect time
to the time spent actually transferring files.
The fields are described below:
site UUCP node name of neighbor host system
connected Total connect time for that system (turn-around)
xfr time Total file transfer time for that system
overhead Connect time not used to transfer files,
eff. % Ratio of connect time to transfer time (xfer*100/conn)
Command executions report
The remote execution report describes remotely
requested command executions from each active host system, like
rmail
and
rnews.
Up to eight command names are displayed. If there are more, the
rest will be put together in an `Misc.' column.
The fields are described below:
site UUCP node name of neighbor host system,
(command) Number of requests of this command,
Misc. Number of other requests, if more than eight.
FILES
The file names below may be changed at compilation time or by the
configuration file, so these are only approximations.
/usr/spool/uucp/Log V2/Taylor format call/execution log,
/usr/spool/uucp/StatsV2/Taylor format file transfer log.

BUGS
Does not understand other than V2/TAYLOR logging formats. Anyone care to
volunteer to add the not mentioned?
Scanning the arguments of logfile and statfile keywords
in config should handle lines continued with the backslash as well.
The
failfm
field in the call statistics table is always zero, unless
something really serious happens, e.g. uucico got SIGQUIT or
the whole system crashed.
