File retrieval using the Web UI is an efficient way to access files in the following directories:

  • /var/stats/

  • /var/log/

  • /tmp/

  • /var/core/

  • /mibs

The files in each directory are listed in the Web UI with each file size, type, and modification date. You may view the retrieved files using any text editor such as WordPad, Microsoft Word, and so on.

Note

The data measurements reports (files) are stored in the /var/stats directory. After 7 days these reports are moved to and are stored in the /var/stats/compressed directory. You may obtain these reports using the Retrieve File feature. For detailed information about generating these reports, see the appropriate chapter in the SS7 Application Guide 1.

Tip

It is recommended that you use a spreadsheet program to open a data measurement report.
