These reports allow you to view the total Telnet client or server activity for the time period chosen. A Telnet server session is initiated by the remote IP address. A Telnet client session is initiated by the MVS TCP/IP host. The number of bytes is available for Telnet server sessions only.
The data provided in these reports is session-based. That is, the session counts are done based on a session initiation and termination record. If no session termination record exists for some reason, there will not be a record of the session. Remember also, that the session is recorded at the time that it finishes. The session may have lasted for 8 hours, but it is recorded at the time it terminates.
If you enter the minimum bytes filter, these reports show the total number of sessions or bytes per Telnet session exceeding the number of bytes entered for the interval chosen. You may use this report to show you when most sessions exceeding a certain byte limit take place. For example, you may want to see when Telnet sessions with over 5 megabytes take place. The number of bytes filter is available for Telnet server sessions only.
