Tibco RVD Monitoring stats

Here's a basic perl script to help you monitor the status or RVD clients on your infrastructure -> rvhosts.pl


Ive found this useful to look for any users machines who maybe stuggling on the network due to performance issues ( CPU or RAM limitations).

I.E

Host "172.27.36.155" lost point-to-point message
RV: Lost 1 broadcast messages from host "172.27.36.155"
ERROR: RV: Lost 1 broadcast messages from host "172.27.36.155"
ERROR: RV: Host "172.27.36.155" lost point-to-point message
RV: Lost 2 broadcast messages from host "172.27.36.155"
RV: Lost 2 broadcast messages from host "172.27.36.155"
ERROR: RV: Host "172.27.36.155" lost point-to-point message



What the script basically does is listens to RVD status messages ( which rvd process generates every 90 seconds )and displays in a readable format.The headings are quite useful as its difficult to find documentation on this .

tibrvlisten -daemon ... -network ... - service... "_RV.>"

#hostaddr ip address of host
#sn Serial number or ticket file
#os version of Operating system
#ver rvd version
#up rvd uptime
#ms Messages Sent
#bs Bytes Sent
#mr Messages Received
#br Bytes Received
#ps Packets sent
#pr Packets received
#rx *Retransmitted Packets
#pm *Missed Packets

Adapt this script slightly and you can print stats to a webpage or .csv fomat for excel/reporting.
