Issue/Introduction

What attributes does the Spectrum periodically poll (poll cycle) from devices?

Environment

Release: Any
Component:

Resolution

The attributes Spectrum polls will vary from model type to model type and can even vary from model to model of the same model type.

The LogPollAnalyzer utility located in the $SPECROOT/SS-Tools directory can be run to find out specifically what attributes are polled.

To run the LogPollAnalyzer utility:

1. Log into the SpectroSERVER system as the user that owns the Spectrum installation 
   
   
2. If on Windows, start a bash shell by running "bash -login"
   
   
3. To find the landscape handle perform the following (if known skip to step 4)
   
       cd to the $SPECROOT/SS
       ../SS-Tools/lh_set
   
       The output will look similar to the following:
   
       ../SS-Tools/lh_set
       SS database landscape handle is 64 (0x1000000)
       DDM database landscape handle is 64 (0x1000000)
   
   In the above lh_set output, 64 is the decimal value of the landscape handle and 0x1000000 is the hex value of the landscape handle
   
   
   
4. Enter the following command to run the LogPollAnalyzer utility where <LH> is either the decimal or hex value of the landscape handle noted above:

           ../SS-Tools/LogPollAnalyzer -l <LH>

           The following is an example of the command and output:

           ../SS-Tools/LogPollAnalyzer -l 64
