I'm trying to understand what the fields in the protostats file are and there are a couple of items for which the documentation (the "Event Messages and Status Words" page) is unhelpful. Below is the example event given on the "Monitoring Commands and Options" page of the documentation, for the sake of discussion.
49213 525.624 128.4.1.1 963a 8a message 963a is the "status word". I assume this is the "peer status word", the same as in peerstats, and not the "system status word", which doesn't seem to show up in any stats files as far as I can tell. Can anyone confirm that this can always be decoded as a "peer status word" (status:select:count:code)? 8a is the "event message code" and is not described anywhere as far as I can tell. The least significant nybble always seems to be the same as the least significant nybble of the imprecisely-named "status word", as does the most significant bit, but I don't have enough samples to make any conclusions. Does anyone know what this is? Frank Wayne _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
