PORTUSAGELOGINTERVAL

Enables Analytic Server to log, at a specified interval, the number of ports being used.

Syntax

PORTUSAGELOGINTERVAL n

n Represents the number of minutes between each check of the number of ports in use. The value of n can be any whole number from 1 - 60, with five as the recommended minimum and default value. Analytic Services ignores any portion of a non-whole number. For example, 2.5 is evaluated as 2 minutes. Statistics are written to the log immediately after each check.

Description

PORTUSAGELOGINTERVAL enables you to set an interval at which to log the number of ports being used. By analyzing the information in the log, you can monitor port utilization and identify a need for more ports before end users are unable to connect.

To enable Analytic Server to check port use statistics and write those statistics to the log:

  1. Edit the server configuration file essbase.cfg to include the PORTUSAGELOGINTERVAL setting.


  2. Restart Analytic Server.


  3. View the Analytic Server Log file. You will see entries similar to the following output:
  4. [Mon Apr 22 00:48:50 2003]Local/ESSBASE0///Info(1056214)
    [3] ports in use, [10] ports allowed

Examples

PORTUSAGELOGINTERVAL 10
Analytic Services writes the port use statistics to the Analytic Server log every 10 minutes.
PORTUSAGELOGINTERVAL
Analytic Services writes the port use statistics to the Analytic Server log every five minutes (the default value).
PORTUSAGELOGINTERVAL 6.75
Analytic Services ignores the non-whole portion of the number and writes the port use statistics to the Analytic Server log every six minutes.
