Plug-in Configuration

The following parameters can be configured for this plug-in:

multicastSessions

Boolean, set to true if multicast is being used.

This plug-in does not track multicast traffic and if the multicastSessions parameter is set then the columns IsSubscribing, StartSubscribeTime and Last Activity are hidden.

Mandatory: No
Default: False

logFile

The full path to the SLC P1 log file.

e.g. /slc/log/p1jse*.log

The log file actually defaults to p1xxx_yyyymmdd.log, however it is recommended that the * wild card is used, as above, as this will always track the latest version of the P1 log file, even if it spans two working days.

Mandatory:Yes
Default: p1xxx_yyyymmdd.log

iniFile

The full path to the SLC ini file.

e.g. /slc/conf/slcjse.ini

Mandatory: Yes

multipleDataFiles

Use this section of multiple data files (one per session) are used - otherwise use the single dataFile parameter.

When multiple data files are used, Idle Polls are not recorded in the data files. Thus the columns IpollMsgCount and TotalMsgCount are hidden.

Mandatory: No

multipleDataFiles > dataFiles

In the case where multiple data files are used, one per session. The datafile will be substitute <SESSIONCODE> with the session names extracted from the ini file. E.g. Instead of "/slc/data/20*.data" for the datafile you would expect to see "/slc/data/20*,<SESSIONCODE>.data".

Mandatory: Yes

multipleDataFiles > iriFile

Location of the IRI data file.

Mandatory: Yes

dataFile

The full path to the SLC data file. This is mandatory if multipleDataFiles is not used.

e.g. /slc/data/20*.data

It is recommended that the * wild card is used, as above, as this will always track the latest version of the data file.

Mandatory: No
