The Real-time Telnet Monitor filter screen allows you to set viewing options for filtering Telnet sessions. Access the filter screen by clicking the Telnet hyperlink under Telnet Monitor in the Monitor tab.
Figure 62. Real-Time Telnet Monitor - Filter Screen
To start Telnet monitoring, select the parameters that are to be operational for this monitoring session:
AutoRefresh |
Automatically refreshes the screen by the refresh interval without any user action required. |
|
Refresh Interval |
Determines the refresh interval for new data being displayed on the screen. The minimum refresh interval is 30 seconds. The maximum is 400 seconds. Avoid setting a local interval value less than the Host Monitor interval value. |
|
Sort By |
You may choose to see the data sorted by IP Address, SLUName or DNSName. |
|
Number of Sessions |
If you choose to filter the data by number of sessions, this parameter must be entered. |
|
Status |
If you choose to filter the data by status (TCP connect state), then this parameter must be entered. You may choose to see all sessions which are in the following states: "Established", "Listen", "Syn-sent", "Syn-received", "Fin-wait-1", "Fin-wait-2", "Close-wait", "Closing", "Last-ack", "Time-wait", or "Closed". |
|
Application Name |
If you choose to filter the data by Host application name (SNA application name), this parameter must be entered. |
|
SLU /DNS Name |
If you choose to filter the data by SLU or DNS name, this parameter must be entered. |
|
Starting IP Address |
If you choose to filter the data by address range, this parameter must be entered. |
|
Ending IP Address |
If you choose to filter the data by address range, this parameter must be entered. |
|
Minimum Bytes In |
If you choose to filter the data by number of bytes in/out, this parameter must be entered. |
|
Minimum Bytes Out |
If you choose to filter the data by number of bytes in/out, this parameter must be entered. |
|
Select By |
You may choose to filter the data by a number of options. The available session viewing filters are: |
|
|
Select first n Telnet sessions |
Default = 200. Enter the number of sessions to be displayed. |
|
Select ALL Telnet sessions |
Displays all current sessions. If you are monitoring over 1000 sessions, NV4IP may take a considerable amount of time to process your request before displaying the status of all Telnet sessions. |
|
Select by address or address range |
Enter a single or a contiguous group of addresses to be monitored. Again, the number of sessions selected affects the processing time. |
|
Select by DNS Name |
Provides for the selection of Telnet sessions by their DNS name rather than IP address or SLU name. |
|
Select by SLUName |
Provides for the selection of Telnet sessions by SLUName rather than IP address. |
|
Select by host application name |
Enter the host application whose Telnet activity you wish to monitor. Examples of applications are: e-mail, TSO, or a selected database application that users access from your regional sales offices or bank branches. |
|
Select by bytes in/out |
Enter a value for bytes transferred in to the monitored Telnet sessions and a value for bytes transferred out by the monitored Telnet sessions. In order to be displayed when this filter is in effect, the Telnet session must satisfy both selected criteria. |
|
Select by session status |
Telnet sessions may be displayed by their connection status. Possible TCP connection states are: "Established", "Listen", "Syn-sent", "Syn-received", "Fin-wait-1", "Fin-wait-2", "Close-wait", "Closing", or "Last-ack". |
After you have set the parameters, click the Submit button from the filter screen to open the Telnet Monitor screen.
