idletimout statistics

Please provide the ability to display the idletimeout value and the number of idletimeout counter for the display; also in explorer. The ability to view this information not available in the product. The idletimeout value can be viewed in the .ini cofiguration file, but not realtime when product up. The count of idletimeout would be desirable also; we are trying to tune the client connections.


The client idletimeout is configured in the protocol section.


protocol@tcp.handler=com.ibm.ctg.server.TCPHandler

protocol@tcp.parameters=port=3905;\

bind=AE94.aetna.com;\

connecttimeout=30000;\

idletimeout=60000;\

pingfrequency=60000


This value or count of occurrences not shown in any displays such as:


PH - Protocol handler

PH_SPORTTCP=3905 (TCP protocol handler port number)

PH_SPORTSSL=-1 (SSL protocol handler port number)

PH_SPORTHTTP=-1 (HTTP protocol handler port number)

PH_SPORTHTTPS=-1 (HTTPS protocol handler port number)

PH_SBINDTCP=AE94 (TCP protocol handler bind address)

PH_SBINDSSL= (SSL protocol handler bind address)

PH_SBINDHTTP= (HTTP protocol handler bind address)

PH_SBINDHTTPS= (HTTPS protocol handler bind address)


or the CM statistics,
