Please refer to TrafficMonitor User Guide GC30-4010 for basic informatio        
n on setting up and running product.                                            
                                                                                
Some points to check as you go through that review process:                     
                                                                                
1) create a database                                                            
example:  /usr/LANReMon/trafficmon/tfm_dbcreate  tfm.dbs        
(you may need to create a softlink to the directory if not in same              
directory as product)                                                           
                                                                                
2) start trafficmon daemon:    trafficmon start                                 
3) bring up end-user interface:  trafficmon map                                 
                                                                                
4) use interface to create "sample points and sets" using RMON probe            
addresses in your network.                                                     
                                                                                
5)start collection defined by sample points using interface.

O chamado sera alterado para severidade 2 pois o cliente informou via           
email que no periodo de 27/09 a 01/10 estara em treinamento externo.            
Foi enviando email para o Aldair contendo alguns pontos que devem ser           
revistos no Traffic Monitor(sugetao Lab.) e solicitado retorno apos             
analise.

O cliente analisou as informacoes enviadas pelo laboratorio e fez o             
seguinte comentario via email:

O database informix foi criado.                                                 
O traffic monitor . ativado: trafficmon start.                                  
O mapa . ativado: trafficmon map.                                               
Um sample Set e um sample point foram criados com um segmento                   
contendo um 8271 (IP e community) e  suas interfaces foram "retrieved".         
Uma configracao foi criada apontando o sample set criado anteriormente.         
A configuracao foi ativada com o botao "run" e passou para o status             
active "yes".                                                                   
O database cresce com o tempo.                                                 
Na hora de solicitar os dados o traffic monitor nao exibe nada,

One sample Set and one sample point had been created with a segment

In the hour to request the data traffic monitorial does not show nothing

Make sure the dcserver process runs. It should start as you bring up            
the trafficmon map if not already started. Without this process, no             
collections will be possible.                                                   
                                                                                
Also, after starting the map application, choose "Collector Config Mgr"         
and make sure RMON, at least, is checked.                                       
Next choose "Segment Mgr" and make a "New Set" and choose "Sample Point         
Set". Choose "New Sample Point" and enter your RMON agent IP address            
with proper community name. Then click on "Retrieve Interface List" and         
select one of the valid interfaces shown(none shown means the RMON              
device is not active). Then click on "Generate Sample Points for All            
Interfaces" and click "OK".                                                     
Give adequate time based on your sample time period to get some samples.        
End and Restart your "trafficmon map" application.                             
                                                                                
Select from the pull-down menu "Data...Traffic" and select appropriate          
RMON (or RMON2 if supported on the device). Select "Sample Point Filter"        
Browse button and then select your interface for collections that should        
be present in the list from your previous interface selection on the            
device. Click "OK".                                                             
You should now see data collection. Work with the map display options           
until you can view information.
