Polling IP Timer calculation issue

Solved1.43K views20th July 2021driver development Multi-Threaded Timer timer

Hello Dojo,

I currently have a timer of type IP structered as so:

<Timer id="11" options="ip:1600,3;each:1800000;pollingrate:15,3,3;threadPool:300,5,306,307,308,309,310,30000;ping:rttColumn=33,size=0,ttl=250,timeout=250,type=winsock,continueSNMPOnTimeout=false,jitterColumn=34,packetLossRateColumn=36,latencyColumn=35,amountPacketsPID=311,amountPacketsMeasurementsPID=312,excludeWorstResultsPID=313">

and it seems as if there is an issue with the calculations for the packetLossRateColumn calculation as shown below:

Is there a way to prevent this overflow? The column already has a range of 0 - 100.

Thank you.

As you mentioned that the column has a range from 0 to 100, I want to clarify that the documentation states that the value will be a decimal value ranging from 0.01 to 1 so it might be that your column parameter definition is not as expected.

As a reference, this is the definition of a parameter that I've used in the past to store the packet loss rate.

<Param id="1">
<Name>CM Packet Loss Rate</Name>
<Description>Packet Loss Rate</Description>
<Type>read</Type>
<Display>
<RTDisplay>true</RTDisplay>
<Units>%</Units>
</Display>
<Interprete>
<RawType>numeric text</RawType>
<LengthType>next param</LengthType>
<Type>double</Type>
<Sequence>factor:100</Sequence>
</Interprete>
<Measurement>
<Type>number</Type>
</Measurement>
</Param>

The factor:100 will then multiply the value with 100 to show it correctly as a percentage.

Thank you for the response and my apologies, I forgot to mention that I do have that sequence tag to multiply the answer by 100, but that still does not explain the insanely high value that is being returned, it seems like it is not returning a value between 0.01 and 1, it is returning values up to the billions
