Copyright (C) Intel Corporation, 2003 - 2022. Intel(R) Active Management Technology (Intel(R) AMT): A short description of the MPS statistics generator Description of the MPS statistics generator : --------------------------------------------- The MPSStatistics.pl is a Perl script file, used to generate statistics regarding the last MPS run according to the MPS generated log files. Usage : ------- MPSStatistics.pl Notes: 1. A Perl script interpreter must be installed 2. If the Perl script interpreter was not properly installed, one might need to run the script explicitly with the Perl script interpreter file. If for example the interpreter executable is: Perl.exe than the usage is: Perl.exe MPSStatistics.pl 3. The MPS log files are generated in such a way that the latest entries are always in the same log file - the log file without the numerical suffix. That log file is the log file that must be stated in the first argument given to the MPS statistics generator. For example for the following log files, the 'mps.log' is the log file to be used: mps.log mps.log.1 mps.log.2 mps.log.3 4. A smaller amount of time may be traced than the amount specified if the MPS is operating less time than the amount of time specified. 5. If the amount of time to trace is larger than the total time recorded in the log files, then only the time frame available is traced. 6. If there are many large log files, generating the statistics might take some time. 7. If one wants to set the number of hours or minutes to trace to 0, than he needs to set them explicitly to 0. For example, setting a trace of 35 minutes: MPSStatistics.pl mps.log 0 35 Output : -------- An example of the MPS statistics generator output: Intel(R) MPS statistics ----------------------- Report period: 0.225 hours Number of Intel clients connections opened : 60 Number of Intel clients connections closed : 35 Number of management-console connections opened : 649 Number of management-console connections closed : 481 Number of AMT authentication failure : 0 Number of Socks authentication failure : 0 Number of non-filtered (blocked) UDP connections : 0 Number of non-filtered (blocked) TCP connections : 0 Number of connection errors : 688 Number of general errors : 0 Explanation of fields: Report period - Amount of time for which the statistics were generated. Number of Intel clients connections opened - States the amount of Intel clients connections opened. Number of Intel clients connections closed - States the amount of Intel clients connections closed (this does not include unexpected or connection shutdowns). Number of Intel management-console opened - States the amount of management-console connections opened. Number of Intel management-console closed - States the amount of management-console connections closed (this INCLUDES unexpected or connection shutdowns). Number of AMT authentication failure - States the amount of AMT authentication failures. Number of Socks authentication failure - States the amount of Socks authentication failures. Number of non-filtered (blocked) UDP connections - States the amount of UDP connections that were rejected because the weren't in the authorized servers list. Number of non-filtered (blocked) TCP connections - States the amount of TCP connections that were rejected because they weren't in the authorized servers list. Number of connection errors - States amount of connection errors. This includes many kind of errors such as APF protocol failures, unexpected connection shutdowns, bad messages etc. Number of general errors - States the amount of general errors occurring in the MPS. ------------------------------------------------------------------ * Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
