[foxboro] any frev tools available?

Hi list,
 

I am trying to troubleshoot a potential FBM problem on one of our I/A v8.2 XP 
systems and need to check counters for all FBMs under various ZCPs.  Since I 
will need to check a large number of FBMs, I would like to use the frev tool, 
"/opt/fox/bin/tools/frev -d<smonname> -s@ -p@ > <filename>", since using SMDH 
to get these parameters would take me hours.  Before I start down the path of 
creating a script to parse this output file into a usable report, I was 
wondering if anyone out there has already developed anything similar.  I am 
looking to put at least the diagnostic parameters into columns and could write 
some VBA code in Excel to do this, but maybe someone has already done something 
that I could use or build upon.  I am very interested in any tools that may 
have been developed for this already.  By the way, I do have QF1008130 
installed to fix the pc and frev commands for I/A v8.2 XP.

 

The frev command produces one long output file with the following as an example 
of the contents:

 

SYSMON NAME          : SMA201

HOST STATION         : A2ZP01
