Clear resource usage counter on ACE module

Does anybody know how to clear the resource usage counter on an ACE module?

We use an ACE20-MOD-K2 with version A2(3.5).

Here you can see that after issuing 'clear stats resource-usage' the counters are still the same.

Or is it a bug eventually?

Hi Patrik,

What could one of the issue here is, if this box is in production and is being used, as soon as you clear the coutners, the new traffic is still flowing in, so ace will populate the new stats. if you take this box out of production then you should be able to see all the traffic gone.

Also to reinforce my previous argument, if you happen to see the stats second time, they are reduced , which will only point that the system is actively receiving and before you do a second show resource, it would have received some traffic and it will also take into account the existing traffic flow across the box.

Most likely not a Bug.

So, your answer means that I have to take the box out of production to clear the counters?

Come on!

This is not really a way we can do it. There must be a way to clear the counters while the box is processing traffic.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Hi Patrik,

As long as you have existing connecions on the box, the box will continue to show them in the resource usage, else if we go by your choice of clearing the stats, the bandwidth utilization may show zero but the there will be bandwidth consumed, none of the customers want this misleading stats i guess.

You cannot expect the coutners to hit zero as long as you have traffic running through the box. The box is intelligent enough to pick up the actual resource usage and report it, even if the stats are being cleared.

What is the reason why you want to clear these counters without actually taking the box out .

Hi Abijjth

Sorry, I was not clear enough. So you're absolutely right. The counters raise as soon as there is traffic.

But, what I want to clear is the 'Denied' counter in the above statistics. This counter should be zero during normal operation.

Any idea how to clear the 'Denied' column?

Thanks
