Bulk Statistics Support

The system's support for bulk statistics allows operators to choose to view not only statistics that are of importance to

them, but also to configure the format in which it is presented. This simplifies the post-processing of statistical data

since it can be formatted to be parsed by external, back-end processors.

When used in conjunction with the Web Element Manager, the data can be parsed, archived, and graphed.

The system can be configured to collect bulk statistics (performance data) and send them to a collection server (called a

receiver). Bulk statistics are statistics that are collected in a group. The individual statistics are grouped by schema. The

following schemas are supported:
