8.2 Capacity Manager data files
There are three types of data files used with Capacity Manager:
• Raw data files, with the extension .SLT
• Report files, with the extension .CMR, TXT, HTML and GIF
When you use the Report Generator, it uses SLT files from the various systems
that you specify and the report definition, then it builds a report file (a .CMR). This
is shown graphically in Figure 130:

Capacity Manager also uses CMUserSettings.properties, which is created when
the user makes changes to the default settings.
• SLT files
Capacity Manager automatically saves one calendar month of data. The data
is stored in two .SLT (or “slot”) files. These files are stored in the SLTFILES
directory.
– REALTIME.SLT
This file contains data from the last 24 hours, stored at one-minute
intervals. Data that is older than 24 hours is discarded. The data is actually
retrieved from the system information service of Netfinity Manager at
one-minute intervals.
– TREND.SLT
This file contains data from the last calendar month, stored at five-minute
intervals. For example, on October 15, the TREND.SLT file contains data
back to September 15. Data older than one calendar month is discarded.
The values stored in this SLT file are the average of the five one-minute
values of the last five minutes.
On all machines with Netfinity Manager installed, the SLT files are continually
being updated with the latest data.
