To extract an NFM-P network data snapshot

Purpose

An NSP Flow Collector Controller requires an image, called a snapshot, of current NFM-P data that is subsequently distributed to each NSP Flow Collector that it controls.

The following steps describe how to force an NSP Flow Collector Controller to extract the AA Cflowd provisioned-object snapshot from the NFM-P.

CAUTION 

CAUTION

Service Disruption

Performing the procedure consumes NFM-P main server resources, and is typically required only when recommended by technical support.

Perform the procedure only if required, and only under the guidance of technical support during a period of low NFM-P system activity.

Steps
 
1 

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

2 

Open a console window.

3 

Issue the following RESTCONF API call to configure the extraction of NFM-P correlation data for the AA use case:

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.

POST https://address:443/restconf/operations/flowconf:extract-po

where address is the NSP cluster advertised address

The message body is the following:

{

    "flowconf:input" : [

      {

            "po-category" : "AA",

        }

    ]

}

4 

Close the console window.
