Missed Browser Announcement
Counter
Missed Browser Announcement is a counter of events where the time elapsed since
the last browser announcement exceeds a threshold. A count of all Missed Browser
Announcement events displays in the
Overview counters of Expert View.
Expert Symptom
Missed Browser Announcement events are automatically logged as expert
symptoms. The
Symptom Summary field provides the time elapsed since the last
browser announcement compared to a threshold value. For example:
Time passed since last announcement=4000 ms (> 3000 ms)
The threshold value for this symptom can be changed. The default threshold value is
multiplier of 2. The time interval to use is read from the announcement packet. For
example, assume that the time-out value read from an SMB packet is 480,000 ms. If
the multiplier value is set to 2, then the symptom displays when there is no browser
announcement for 960,000 ms (2 X 480,000 ms).
