Use the KN3 ICMP Type Counters attributes to statistics for the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) and ICMPv6 on z/OS v1r12 or later systems. For more information about ICMP message types, see the ICMP types and codes appendix of the IBM z/OS Communications Server: IP System Administrator's Commands book.
Note: This attribute group is available only on systems running z/OS(R) v1.12 or later.
Collection Time The time and date of the data sampling. This time is displayed in the following format:
mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss
Where:
The stored format is a string no longer than 16 characters in the format CYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm (as in 1020315064501000 for 03/15/02 06:45:01) where:
ICMP Type The type of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) message used to report the processing of datagrams. This value is stored as an integer and displayed as a string. Valid values for ICMP are:
Valid values for ICMPv6 are:
Not all ICMP types are supported for both inbound and outbound ICMP messages. The Inbound Messages Supported and Outbound Messages Supported attributes identify where specific counters are valid.
ICMP Version (not displayed) The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) version to which the statistics in this table row apply. This value is stored as an integer and displayed as a string. Valid values are:
Inbound Messages Supported The indicator of whether the inbound message counter is supported by the TCP/IP stack for the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Type. This value is stored as an integer and displayed as a string. Valid values are:
Origin Node An internal node name used to identify the system from which this row of data was obtained. The format is a string up to 32 characters in length.
Outbound Messages Supported The indicator of whether the outbound message counter is supported by the TCP/IP stack for the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Type. This value is stored as an integer and displayed as a string. Valid values are:
System ID The SMF system ID. The format is a string up to 4 characters in length.
TCPIP STC Name The TCP/IP job name. The format is a string up to 8 characters in length.
Total Messages Received The total number of messages received for the specified Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Type since TCP/IP initialization. The format is an unsigned integer.
Total Messages Sent The number of messages sent for the specified Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Type since TCP/IP initialization. The format is an unsigned integer.
Total Messages Sent Received The total number of messages sent and received for the specified Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Type since TCP/IP initialization. The format is an unsigned integer.
Total Percent Inbound In Error The percentage of Total Inbound Messages In Error compared to Total Messages Received for the specified Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Type since TCP/IP initialization. The format is an integer between 0 and 100 inclusive.
Total Percent Outbound In Error The percentage of Total Outbound Messages In Error compared to Total Messages Sent for the specified Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Type since TCP/IP initialization. The format is an integer between 0 and 100 inclusive.
