Safe shared memory reset: -X/-xt

To avoid undesirable alerts that come from resetting shared memory time values, use these options that leave these values alone.

  • -X is the same as the existing -Z option, except no time values in the shared memory are reset.
  • -xt thread name corresponds to the exiting -zt option, but all time values are retained.

These values are unaffected by the safe shared memory reset:

  • Sample Taken
  • Sample Added
  • Start Time
  • Stop Time
  • Proto Last Rd
  • Proto Last Wt
  • Proto Err Time

Values for Proto Status are:

  • INITIALIZING

    Value: 0

  • OPENING

    Value: 1

  • UP

    Value: 2

  • DOWN

    Value: 3

  • CLOSING

    Value: 4

  • ERROR

    Value: 5

  • INEOF

    Value: 6

  • TIMER

    Value: 7

  • STATUS

    Value: 8

For Proto Flags, only the "hold" flag is set. When the flag is set (1), the outbound protocol holds messages.
