Issue/Introduction

  VSE_METRICS_TXN_COUNTS table, column name  COUNTS_DATE is "null" sometimes

Why is VSE_METRICS_TXN_COUNTS table, column  COUNTS_DATE showing "null"  for some services?  

Environment

All DevTest supported releases

Resolution

When COUNTS_DATE is shown as null, it just  represents a lifetime count of the virtual service (versus counts accumulated on a specific date ).  So when the model stops you would  see it change to 'null'

 

Note** It should be safe to remove anything from VSE_METRICS_TXN_COUNTS. The table only has reporting data on the amount of traffic a VS has handled. you might want to stop all the running VS’s before deleting any rows, to prevent the VS cache from getting out of sync with the database. 

Additional Information

None.
