ACE - Clear Resource Usage Counters

[tmcmurray]

Hi everyone.  I've tried clearing my resource usage counters several time by using both commands:

clear stats resource-usage

clear stats all

Neither work.  The resource usage counters remain the same.  Is there a workaround to this issue?  I would really like to see the counters over a specific period as opposed to since last reboot.

Hi there,

which code are you running?

There used to be bugs and enhancements with old version of ACE 4710 which are solved in the latest releases.

Btw, if you are running in FT, have you tried to execute the same command on the standby device? Does it work?

Cheers,

Domenico.

Thanks for the reply.

My version number is:

system:    Version A3(2.5) [build 3.0(0)A3(2.5) adbuild_13:35:38-2010/02/05_/auto/adbu-rel2/rel_a3_2_5_throttle/REL_3_0_0_A3_2_5]

I know it's not the latest, but I can find no reference to any bug in this version affecting these counters.  Am I missing something?

Sorry for the double post, but in answer to your second question: Yes I have tried it on both machines to no avail.

Hi Tim

The clear stats resource-usage cmd only clear the stat for Peak and Denied counter.

I tested with A3(2.2) as below and it worked ok.

Tim,

As Andrew pointed out, peak and denied counters should be cleared.

I understand in both active and standby ACE a325 you have, this does not happen.

Could you share the "show res usa all" before and after a "clear stats all"/"clear stats resource-usage"?

Cheers,

Dom.
