[sniffer] Hit Rate Discrepancy

2005-04-24 Thread Goran Jovanovic
Hi,

I think I am having a problem with my Declude log file numbers/stats and
I want to try and figure it out. Last week my Sniffer hit rate went from


SNIFFER6,699...64.78%

To yesterday

SNIFFER1,299...10.24%

This is wrong as Sniffer should and does trigger much more often (more
like the first one)

So I looked in the Sniffer log from yesterday and tried to do some quick
stats.

There are:

Final   8573  67.6%
Clean   4104  32.4%
Total  12677 
 
And the total compares to the total number of messages processed

Total Messages Processed: 12,685

So am I interpreting the Sniffer log correctly? Do I need to worry about
the Match entries?

Thanx

That's quite a swing.

Final and Clean are the lines you want to count.

The final entries are the ones that match patterns. The Match entries
show you detail - which patterns and where.

The count of final and the ratio of about 67% seems much more
consistent with your previous day's rating.

Something went wrong elsewhere in the analysis for you to pull 10.24%
from one procedure and 67.6% from the other... These two numbers
should be the same if I understand your analysis.

Hope this helps,
