SMF Type 119 Record - Subtype 10

This table shows the record layout for type 119 SMF records
(TCP/IP Statistics - UDP Socket Close Record).

List of other SMF record layouts available.
List of sample SMF reports.

Purpose: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) writes type 119 records to collect statistics about Telnet servers and clients, FTP servers and clients, and API activity and stack usage information.

The Subtype 10 UDP socket close record is collected whenever a UDP socket is closed (note that this is not collected for individual datagrams sent using the sendto API call). This record contains pertinent information about the socket, such as timestamps for its opening and closing, and bytes flowing through the socket.

Guidelines:

  • The socket's partner information is contained in this record; however, this only documents the partner at the time of socket close. Hence, this information would be more meaningful for a client UDP application than a server UDP application.
  • Because this record is generated for every single UDP socket, this can generate significant load on a server and rapidly fill the SMF data sets. Care should be exercised in its use.
  • The local IP address is 0.0.0.0 unless the application explicitly binds to a local IP address on this socket.

It's easy to report on SMF 119 data! (Jump to sample reports)

SMF Spectrum Writer
We have a low-cost 4GL report writer especially for SMF files. It's called Spectrum SMF Writer.

Spectrum SMF Writer handles the difficult SMF record parsing for you automatically. You just specify which fields you want to see.

Spectrum SMF Writer also converts the arcane date and time fields and reformats them into an attractive report.

Plus, Spectrum SMF Writer can export SMF data as comma delimited files to use on your PC.

Sample Report from SMF 119 Subtype 2 Records
Showing Information about TCP Connections


The sample SMF report below was created with Spectrum SMF Writer, the low-cost 4GL SMF report writer.

In this report, we read as input the SMF file and select just the type 119 subtype 2 TCP Connection Termination records. (See SMF 119 Subtype 2 record layout.) The report shows information about terminated TCP connections, including start time, end time and computed elapsed time. It also shows the total number of bytes sent and received during the connection and the termination code. Our record layout also expands the 1-byte termination code into a readable descriptive text. The report is grouped by TCP/IP Stack and Resource. The report includes subtotals for each Resource.

All of this with just a few lines of code!
