Hello,

Could you explain us how the application set the name of chart log files (in Chart Data directory) ?

They are like this: g6458f253 / L17-litU or g5b61b888 / R2-lavA ...
We know the respect this schema: mapId / anId - dataType but....
 . if we do charts of an equipment -> the first part of the chart log (the 'anId') is the end of the objectId (here: R2 for an objectId
g5b61b888-R2)
 . if we do charts of a line (serial port, BRI, etc...) ->
the 'anId' will be something like: L + an hexa code .....
What does this hexa code mean ???...
How can we automatically make relation between this
'anId' and a specific interfaceId of a specific equipment ?


Thanks,
Xavier.

Unfortunately, the only way to format the chart logs in that fashion  
is to read the chart data files directly. The chart data logs are  
stored in flat files using very simple rules.  On a unix system, you  
can use the hexdump utility to display the chart data in tab- 
delimited form:

  hexdump -v -e '"%d" "\t" "%d" "\n"' "InterMapper Settings/Chart  
Data/gb733ffa9/L1-Util

Here are the rules:

1. Each data point is stored using 4 bytes for the timestamp and 4  
bytes for the value.
2. The timestamps are stored in seconds since 1970 UTC*
3. Percent values are stored in hundreths (e.g.  10,000 == 100.00%)
4. The value -2147483648 is used to mark a discontinuous point, e.g.  
when InterMapper starts up.
5. All values are stored in native byte order; big-endian for PowerPC  
or Sparc, little-endian for i386.

* Exception for chart files created on Mac OS 9 and earlier --  
"negative" timestamps are relative to 1904 using local time zone.
