3.6 Using the Proprietary Springware Performance Module

The proprietary Springware Performance Module (dlgsrprf.mib) contains Springware performance information maintained by the device driver. It includes the following groups:

• Current Interval Performance Information Group: contains the current interval's performance data, including hardware interrupts, messages to and from the board, bulk data transfer counts, and lost or error message counts.

  The default interval of one hour can be changed. The performance counters are reset at the beginning of a new interval. A separate MIB variable indicates the duration of the current interval.

  This group contains the following:

  • dlgPsCurrentInterrupts - number of hardware interrupts generated by span or D4x based boards for the current interval
  • dlgPsCurrentDrvCommands - number of commands sent to the driver for the current interval
  • dlgPsCurrentFWCommands - number of commands sent to the firmware for the current interval
  • dlgPsCurrentUnSolEvents - number of unsolicited events from the firmware for the current interval
  • dlgPsCurrentBytesRead - number of bytes read from the firmware during record for the current interval
  • dlgPsCurrentBytesWritten - number of bytes written to the firmware during playback for the current interval
  • dlgPsCurrentLostMsgToFW - number of lost messages (commands) to the firmware for the current interval. This value should always be zero. A non zero value typically indicates a firmware or hardware failure.
  • dlgPsCurrentLostMsgFromFW - number of lost messages (events) from the firmware for the current interval. This value should typically be zero. A non zero value indicates the host cannot service all the messages being generated by the firmware.
  • dlgPsCurrentFWErrorMsgs - number of error message packets generated by the firmware for the current interval. This should typically be zero.
  • dlgPsCurrentDrvErrorMsgs - number of error message packets generated by the driver for the current interval. This should typically be zero.
• Total Performance Information Group: contains performance information cumulative from the time the agent started collecting statistics.

  The information tracked is the same as for the Current Interval Performance Information Group. These counters are reset when the agent is restarted or when the device driver is restarted.

  This group contains the following:

  • dlgPsTotalInterrupts - the total number of hardware interrupts generated by the span or D4x based boards
  • dlgPsTotalDrvCommands - the total number of commands sent to the driver
  • dlgPsTotalFWCommands - the total number of commands sent to the firmware
  • dlgPsTotalUnSolEvents - the total number of unsolicited events from the firmware
  • dlgPsTotalBytesRead - the total number of bytes read from the firmware during record
  • dlgPsTotalBytesWritten - the total number of bytes written to the firmware during playback
  • dlgPsTotalLostMsgToFW - the total number of lost messages (commands) to the firmware. This value should always be zero. A non zero value typically indicates a firmware or hardware failure
  • dlgPsTotalLostMsgFromFW - the total number of lost messages (events) from the firmware. This value should typically be zero. A non zero value indicates the host cannot service all the messages being generated by the firmware.
  • dlgPsTotalFWErrorMsgs - the total number of error message packets generated by the firmware. This should typically be zero.
  • dlgPsTotalDrvErrorMsgs - the total number of error message packets generated by the driver. This should typically be zero.

Note: The Intel Dialogic Springware Performance MIB (dlgsrprf.mib) can only be used with Intel Dialogic Springware boards.
