Create a telemetry subscription

Purpose

Perform this procedure to set up telemetry collection.

This procedure is based on the procedure for managing subscriptions in the NSP Data Collection and Analysis Guide.

For example, the reference procedure in NSP 24.4 is How do I manage subscriptions?.

CAUTION 

CAUTION

Service Disruption

The name of an object, including subscriptions, baselines, indicators, templates, and chart profiles, cannot contain a semicolon (;) or backslash (\).

The use of these characters in an object identifier will result in corrupted data that must be deleted by Nokia support.

Steps
 
1 

Log in to the NSP as the Service Management user.

2 

Open Data Collection and Analysis Management, Subscriptions.

3 

Click png6.pngSUBSCRIPTION.

4 

In the Create Subscription form that opens, configure the General parameters as needed:

  • Enable database (DB) subscriptions as needed to save subscription information to the NSP database. For subscription data to be available to Analytics, the auxiliary database must be deployed.

  • The subscription is enabled by default: it will start running immediately.

5 

Configure filters and counters:

  1. In the Object Filter field, enter filtering information as needed to filter the collected data.

    As you type, the field provides suggestions for available filters to match your input and identifies incorrect syntax.

  2. Enter information in the Telemetry Type field. As you type, the field filters for available telemetry types to match your input.

    Choose the telemetry type you need from the list of matches.

  3. When you enter a telemetry type, all counters are enabled by default.

    To customize the counters, enable the Enable notifications and notification counters check box.

    Click Removepng2.png to remove a counter.

    Click png6.pngCOUNTERS to add a counter that was removed.

This example includes the following:

  • Telemetry Type: telemetry:/base/interfaces/interface 

  • Counters: 

    • received-octets-periodic 

    • received-octets 

    • received-unicast-packets 

    • received-unicast-packets-periodic 

    • transmitted-octets 

  • Object Filter (2 port objects used by two endpoints of the service): /nsp-equipment:network/network-element[ne-id='92.168.98.97']/hardware-component/port[component-id='shelf=1/slot=1/card=1/slot=1/card=1/port=c2/port=2']|/nsp-equipment:network/network-element[ne-id='92.168.96.215']/hardware-component/port[component-id='shelf=1/slot=1/card=1/slot=1/card=1/port=c1/port=2'] 

6 

Click CREATE.

The subscription appears in the subscriptions list.

Port throughput statistics from the sites and NEs found by the object filter are received and processed every 15 s (see Collection Interval value). The statistics will remain in the NSP database for a configured period of time, as defined in the ageout policy.
