COMNET III Reports and Statistics
Selecting Reports on Processor and Disk Utilization
On
All
Show group node detail
Allocate background frames
Select the objects for which there should be reports and check
the On box, or if there should be reports on all objects shown,
check the All box.
In all of the reports data for Computer Group nodes is
aggregated. Check to display the Group Node Detail dialog.
Checking the Allocate background frames causes background
frames to be included in the listed protocol or application
grouping in the Link Utilization by Protocol or
Link Utilization by Application reports,
respectively. The frames will be allocated to the listed
groupings in proportion to the amount these groupings are
observed in the non-background frames traversing the link.
If the checkbox is left unchecked, the background frames are
listed in their own category. Background frames are frames
generated by link loading. This checkbox does not apply to
any other report.
Statistical monitoring during the simulation is active only for the statistics that need to be
included in formatted reports (or viewed through Statistics buttons). By requesting fewer
reports and including fewer objects in reports, you can speed up the simulation.
These reports are prepared as soon as the simulation run completes. They are in standard
text format and are formatted to fit within 80 columns for easy viewing and printing. The
Report/Browse Reports menu item may be used to view the reports once the simulation is
complete, or any text editor may be used.
Wherever there is an object name in the report (i.e. node name, link name, source name,
etc), only the first 20 characters will be displayed. The remaining characters will be truncated.
This means that a node name of "Application Workstatio" is really probably "Application
Workstation".
