how are you going to open it, it's a binary file.

Oh, thanks Dynamox. From the discussions I have read, I was under the impression that this file was parseable.

A discussion such as this one made me think it was possible to process a NAR file without any external tool, and I assumed it was a text file, only encrypted if you don't have a license for Analyzer.

If we were getting a license for Analyzer, it would mostly be to generate the performance file. We would like to process the data and store it in a database, very much like in the discussion pointed out above. Is this not possible without using the Analyzer UI? Would the data first need to be open in the UI and then exported in another format?

Thanks,

Laurent.

looks like you can do it with naviseccli, parse csv/txt and import it in your DB.

naviseccli analyzer -archivedump -data .nar -out .csv -object s,l,d -format  on,pt,u,ql,rt,tb,tt,rb,rs,rio,wb,ws,wio,up,ff,abql,dc,st,asd

Thanks, it looks like it would work.

Then I'm back to looking for someone who could share a sample NAR file.

have fun, let us know what you come up with ..sounds like an interesting project.

Thanks very much for the file dynamox! I'm going to look at it this morning and see if I can get the kind of information I'm looking for.

I believe the data in the NAR files has already been averaged before it's stored in the NAR files. It is not raw data. A lot of the vaules like response time are calculated from other vaules - what you see in the NAR are the results.

based on your avatar it looks like you work for EMC or a partner ...i am sure someone in your organization has a NAR file or two ?

Please contact me directly and I'll help.
