  • 1.  NASTv13 No Output in Batch Mode

    Posted Aug 05, 2014 09:16 AM

    When I run the NASTv13 tool in batch mode, the processing is very quick and all my routers show up in the red list. When I copy the same files tried with batch mode to a new, separate directory with NASTv13.exe and run it manually and select 'e', it runs fine and I get the expected output. The output is below. Notice at the end of the batch run that the time is -166666665 minutes while the manual run on the same files is 5 minutes. Is batch mode broken?

    Type the number of NFA files (minutes) to process
    Examples:
    --> 1 = 1 minute
    --> 10 = 10 minutes
    --> 60 = 1 hour
    --> 666 = 11 hours and 6 minutes
    Additional options:[p|t|a|v|e]
    --> p = output protocol stats
    --> t = output ToS stats
    --> a = output AS stats
    --> v = verbose cmd output (doesn't change html output)
    --> e = external mode (not on a Harvester)
    Tip: Just hit <Enter> to proceed using the default 5 minutes

    The NAST tool is not an officially support CA Tool and is no longer maintained.  It also will not work with NFA 9.3 or newer. 

    NFA 9.3.2 introduces the new Flow Statistics page which replaces NAST in the ability to centrally report on the number of flows per minute on each harvester.

     

    Tech Tip: NFA 9.3.2 New Flow Statistics displays flow rates of all of your Harvesters (replaces NAST/NFAParser)
