Statistic information

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Fri Apr 05, 2002 4:46 am

Hi,

I suppose that the sum of alive-ratio, dead-ratio and unknown-ratio should always be 100%.
It is correct except when there was a 'waiting for master' status.
The totaltests-counter increments, but the unknown-counter remains the same. Is this a bug or by-design ?

You are right. But its not a bug. HostMonitor increments "Unknown" counters when cannot retrieve information (due to some problems in network, etc).

May be HostMonitor should not increment TotalTime and TotalTests counters when test has WaitForMaster status?
What think community?
Everybody, please, vote in.

I agree.

When a dependency test is "waiting for master", in fact the status of that dependency test is "unknown".
Statistical over time, that test is not OK, not BAD but UNKNOWN. (but the time is running ...)
For me, it's not correct to stop the totaltests (or time) in this situation.

Have sense, but:
WaitForMaster status similar to OutOfSchedule, and OutOfSchedule status similar to Disabled: program do not perform any check-up, so may be more logical do not increment any counters ?

ok, but:
OutOfSchedule and Disabled is a conscious choice, while "waiting for master" normaly means that there is a (random) problem with the master, and so with the dependency too (if the master => dependency relation makes sence).
A suggestion: you can change the "Synchronize status & counters" flag in "Synchronize counters" while the status remains "waiting for master" ?

I did some tests, and was thinking about it, and ok: maybe it's most logical to NOT increment any counters in a "waiting for master" status. (the master can also have a disabled or "out of schedule" status, thus not only a bad status)
The best should be to create some additional counters, but that's an endless solution I think.

I think you are right.
I should change options:
- Synchronize status & counters
- Synchronize alerts
into
- Synchronize counters (keep WaitForMaster status)
- Synchronize status and alerts

Everybody agree?
