Log in to a station that has access to the NSP system.

Open a console window.

Issue the following RESTCONF API call to specify what data/aggregation types are enabled for collection:

Note: In order to issue a RESTCONF API call, you require a token; see the My First NSP API Client tutorial on the Network Developer Portal for information.

PATCH https://address:443/restconf/data/flowconf:config/policies/aggregation

where address is the NSP cluster advertised address

The message body is the following:

{

    "aggregation" : [

      {

            "enabled" : "true",

        }

    ]

}

The following table shows the data and aggregation types that can be enabled, as well as their default state and protocol.

Table 3-1: Data types and aggregation types

Issue the following RESTCONF API call to specify the length of the aggregation intervals for each data type:

Note: In order to issue a RESTCONF API call, you require a token; see the My First NSP API Client tutorial on the Network Developer Portal for information.

PATCH https://address:443/restconf/data/flowconf:config/policies/agg-interval

where address is the NSP cluster advertised address

The message body is the following:

{

    "agg-interval" : [

      {

            "duration" : "3",

        }

    ]

}

Note: The settings in the above example represent the default values.

Note: The statistics collection interval affects NSP Flow Collector performance. A larger interval results in proportionally larger files, which take longer to store and transfer.

Note: For CGNAT statistics, you must set the collection interval no higher than the following, based on the expected flow rate:

• 350 000 flows/s—1 minute

• 50 000 flows/s—5 minutes

• 25 000 flows/s—15 minutes

The following table shows the aggregation intervals that can be configured, as well as their default state and protocol.

Close the console window.
