Hi Folks
This is a bit of a repost, just to announce that we've put in the scripting area, a distribution if the java program we have been using over the last year or so to do analysis of various SiteMinder related trace logs.
The link to the full post (and importantly the download zip files ) is here :
Siteminder Policy Trace Analysis Tool
And below is the text of the original post :

Siteminder Policy Trace Analysis Tool
Attached is a java Policy Log analysis tool that we have been using in CA Support for a while now for analysis of various SiteMinder logs.
Currently it works on :
[list=1]
[*]smps.log "stats" generated by regularly issuing a : "smpolicysrv -stats" command.
[*]Policy Server trace logs (smtracedefault.log) files.
[*]Webagent logs (including Normal Webagent WebAgentTrace.log files, and those from Secure Proxy Server, and FWS server)
[list]
The program is the evolution of various prior perl and python scripts into a java program which then generates graphs and PDF reports of the results.
The graphs in the PDF include :
Distribution of ProcessRequest times (table plus graph) :
Calculation of (real) concurrent thread activity :
And there are many more options included in the pdf report.
Attached are both the java program SMPolicyTraceAnalysis_dist.zip, and the documentation SMPolicyTraceAnalysis_docs.zip showing sample graphs and explanation of how to use the program. And at some time in the near future we also hope to release the src to the java code as well,
In general for the SMPolicyTraceTool, at least for most basic uses, how to use the program is fairly self evident.
This is an internally generated tool, done by CA Support engineers and subject to the limitations of the disclaimer applied to this discussion group for uploads.
A tool like this, developed on a part time basis is never complete, certainly there are bugs, limitations, and also many features we would like to add. But the tool has proved useful internally with CA Support, as it currently is and hope you find it useful as well.
