Performance Data Collection

Feature Summary

The Performance Data Collection feature allows a system controller to collect and store SNMP MIB data from its managed router and dial shelves. The system controller then serves as a central point for network management data collection.

The system controller collects the raw data from the managed shelves periodically, saves the data, and provides a single access point for a central network management application. The data can then be uploaded to a network management station using FTP or TFTP.

Performance Data Storage

Performance data is stored on a disk local to the system controller. The files are located at disk0:/performance/shelf-shelfid/pollgroupname.unixtimestamp. A new file is created each time the system controller collects data from a shelf.

Benefits

The Performance Data Collection feature provides the following benefits:

•Remote network management stations can get performance data from one place, as a single file transferred via FTP or TFTP. This benefit reduces network traffic and resources in the management station because the station does not have to poll each individual shelf.

•The bulk transfer method of collecting data generates less traffic on the network than collecting the same amount of information using SNMP requests. The bulk transfer method also impacts the managed shelves less than SNMP polling.

List of Terms

shelf—An access server or router managed by the system controller.

system controller—A Cisco IOS-based device that aids in the monitoring and management of a number of access servers and routers.

Prerequisites

In order to use this feature, you must first configure the following features:

•Shelf Discovery and Autoconfiguration. Refer to the "Shelf Discovery and Autoconfiguration" feature documentation for these tasks.

•FTP Server. Refer to the "" feature documentation for these tasks.

•SNMP Manager. Refer to the "SNMP Manager" feature documentation for these tasks.

In addition, the system clock should be set to the current time before the data collection starts. Refer to the "Performing Basic System Management" chapter in the Cisco IOS Release 11.3 Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide. Network Time Protocol (NTP) is the recommended method for obtaining the time.

Configuration Tasks

To configure performance data collection on the system controller, perform the following tasks beginning in global configuration mode:

Task
Command

Step 1 Specify the name of the performance data set. This step will put the router in poll-group configuration mode.

syscon poll-group name

Step 2 Specify the MIB variables to collect. Repeat this command for each MIB variable.

oid object-id

Step 3 Set the data collection method.

transfer-mode {bulk | poll}

Step 4 (Optional) Specify the shelf types for the data collection. Repeat this step for each shelf type. The default is all shelf types.

shelf-type sysObjectID

Step 5 (Optional) Set the data collection interval, in minutes. The default is 10 minutes.

poll-interval minutes

Step 6 (Optional) Specify the maximum number of stored data sets. The default is 10.

samples number

Step 7 Enable performance data collection.

enable

Step 8 Exit poll-group configuration mode. This step ends the configuration of the performance data set.

exit

Step 9 (Optional) Repeat steps 1 through 8 for each additional poll group.

 

Step 10 Return to EXEC mode.

end

Step 11 Verify that performance data is correctly configured.

more system:running-config

show syscon perfdata

Step 12 Save the configuration.

copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config


Configure the system controller to collect all the MIB variables that your network management station uses. Thus, the network management station can obtain all the information from the system controller without ever polling a managed shelf.

Configuration Examples

The following partial sample configuration file configures performance data collection on a system controller: 

! Enable the FTP server on the system controller and specify the top-level directory

! for FTP operations.

!

enable (poll-group configuration)

To start data collection for a performance data set, use the enable poll-group configuration command. The no form of this command disables data collection.

enable
no enable

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

The system controller does not collect data.

Command Mode

Poll-group configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 AA.

Use this command to enable data collection for a specific poll-group. This command is required for performance data collection. You must also set the transfer mode with the transfer-mode command in order to collect data.

The no form of this command disables data collection, but it does not delete the poll-group configuration. To reenable data collection, reconfigure the enable poll-group configuration command. You do not need to reenter the other poll-group configuration commands.

Example

The following example configures and enables data collection for the cmlineinfo poll group: 

SysCont# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

SysCont(config)# syscon poll-group cmlineinfo

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# oid cmLineInfo.1.*

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# oid cmLineInfo.2.*

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# oid cmLineInfo.3.*

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# oid cmLineInfo.4.*

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# transfer-mode bulk

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# enable

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# exit

SysCont(config)# exit

oid

To specify MIB variables for the system controller to collect, use the oid poll-group configuration command. The no form of this command disables collection of the specified MIB variable.

oid object-id
no oid [object-id]

Syntax Description

object-id

Object ID of the data to collect.


Default

Only the sysUptime MIB variable is collected.

Command Mode

Poll-group configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 AA.

Use this command to specify which MIB variables to collect for a specific data collection set. Enter this command once for each MIB variable you wish to collect. In order for the system controller to collect data, you must specify at least one object ID.

For descriptions of supported MIBs and how to use MIBs, see Cisco's MIB website on CCO at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml.

The no form of this command disables data collection for the specified MIB variable. If you do not specify an object ID, data collection is disabled for every variable except sysUptime.

Use the following guidelines when specifying object IDs:

•Scalar MIB objects are specified with a ".n.0" instance. For example, oid lsystem.57.0 or oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57.0 specifies avgBusy1.

•Columns and tables are specified with ".n.*" object IDs. For example, oid ifEntry.2.* specifies the ifDescr column of the ifTable, and oid interfaces.2.* specifies the ifTable.

Note   Columns are retrievable only in poll transfer mode.

•Tables for bulk transfer must be specified using the object ID with the table-defining "SEQUENCE OF ...." SYNTAX statement.

Example

The following example configures the system controller to collect the rows specified by cmLineInfo.1.*, cmLineInfo.2.*, cmLineInfo.3.*, and cmLineInfo.4.* using the bulk transfer mode: 

SysCont# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

SysCont(config)# syscon poll-group cmlineinfo

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# oid cmLineInfo.1.*

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# oid cmLineInfo.2.*

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# oid cmLineInfo.3.*

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# oid cmLineInfo.4.*

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# transfer-mode bulk

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# enable

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# exit

SysCont(config)# exit

poll-interval

To change the interval for data collection by system controller, use the poll-interval poll-group configuration command. The no form of this command returns the data collection interval to the default value.

poll-interval minutes
no poll-interval

Syntax Description

minutes

Data collection interval, in minutes. The range is from 1 to 10080. The default is 10.


Default

10 minutes

Command Mode

Poll-group configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 AA.

Use this command to specify how often the system controller collects data for a particular performance data set from its managed shelves.

When the poll group is enabled or the first shelf in a poll group is discovered, the system controller acts as if the data collection started at midnight. The system controller will then collect data at the next scheduled data collection time. The data collection for a poll group is synchronized; the system controller collects data from all managed shelves for a poll group at the same time.

Example

The following example configures the system controller to collect data every 20 minutes. The system controller will store a maximum of five data sets for this poll group. Thus, data will be stored for 100 minutes after it is collected. 

SysCont# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

SysCont(config)# syscon poll-group cmlineinfo

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# oid cmLineInfo.1.*

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# oid cmLineInfo.2.*

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# oid cmLineInfo.3.*

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# oid cmLineInfo.4.*

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# transfer-mode bulk

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# poll-interval 20

samples

To specify the maximum number of performance data sets to store on the disk for a poll group, use the samples poll-group configuration command. The no form of this command returns the value to the default.

samples number
no samples

Syntax Description

number

Maximum number of performance data log files to store on the system controller disk for a particular poll group. The value ranges from 2 to 1000. The default is 10.


Default

A maximum of 10 performance data sets are stored.

Command Mode

Poll-group configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 AA.

Use this command to limit the number of performance data log files residing on the system controller disk for that poll-group. Once the limit is reached, the oldest file will be deleted after a new file is successfully written.

Use this command and the poll-interval command to determine how long it will take for a file to be deleted and how much disk space the files will require. If you set the sample number too low, files will be deleted soon after they are created, leaving you with little time to transfer the files to a network management station. If you set the sample number too high, the files may fill the disk.

Example

The following example configures the system controller to store a maximum of five data sets for this poll group. The system controller will collect data every 20 minutes. Thus, data will be stored for 100 minutes after it is collected. 

SysCont# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

SysCont(config)# syscon poll-group cmlineinfo

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# oid cmLineInfo.1.*

shelf-type

To specify which shelf types the system controller collects data from, use the shelf-type poll-group configuration command. The no form of this command removes the command from the configuration.

shelf-type sysObjectID
no shelf-type sysObjectID

Syntax Description

sysObjectID

CISCO-PRODUCTS-MIB sysObjectID. This argument can have the following values:

•108—Cisco 7206

•109—Cisco AS5200

•125—Cisco 7204

•162—Cisco AS5300

•188—Cisco AS5800

Although you can enter other values for this argument, the system controller will only collect data from devices that can be managed by the system controller.


Default

The system controller collects data from all discovered shelves.

Command Mode

Poll-group configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 AA.

If this command is not configured, the system controller will collect data from all known shelves. However, if you configure this command with a particular shelf type, the system controller will only collect data from the specified shelves. To collect data from multiple shelf types, enter this command once for each shelf type.

The no form of this command removes the corresponding command from the configuration. If no other shelf-type commands remain, the system controller will collect data from all known shelves. If one or more shelf-type commands remain in the configuration, the system controller will collect data only from the remaining configured shelf types.

In order to turn off data collection for one shelf when you are currently collecting data from all shelves, enter the shelf-type command for each of the remaining shelves.

Example

The following example collects data from Cisco 7204 routers using the bulk transfer method: 

SysCont# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

SysCont(config)# syscon poll-group cmlineinfo

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# oid cmLineInfo.1.*

Default

The system controller collects no performance data.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 AA.

Use this command on the system controller to configure performance data collection. The system controller periodically collects the specified MIB variables from managed shelves and stores the data on a disk local to the system controller. A new file will be created each time the system controller collects data from a shelf.

This command puts the router into poll-group configuration mode. You can enter any of the following commands:

•enable (poll-group configuration)

•oid

•poll-interval

•samples

•shelf-type

•transfer-mode

You must specify the desired Object IDs and the transfer mode. If you do not specify the shelf-type command, the system controller collects data from all discovered shelves. The default data collection interval is 10 minutes. The default maximum number of samples is 10. To begin the data collection process, configure the enable command.

Example

The following example configures the poll group cmlineinfo: 

SysCont# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

SysCont(config)# syscon poll-group cmlineinfo

SysCont(config-poll-gr)# oid cmLineInfo.1.*

transfer-mode

To specify the transfer method for collecting performance data from shelves, use the transfer-mode poll-group configuration command.

transfer-mode {bulk | poll}

Syntax Description

bulk

Bulk transfer (FTP).

poll

SNMP polling.


Default

The system controller does not collect data.

Command Mode

Poll-group configuration

Usage Guidelines

This command first appeared in Cisco IOS Release 11.3 AA.

Use this command to specify which method the system controller uses to collect data from managed shelves. You must specify a transfer mode in order to collect performance data.

If you are collecting a large amount of data, use the bulk transfer method to avoid sending large numbers of SNMP packets. The bulk transfer method has less of an impact on the managed shelves and creates less network traffic than the poll transfer method.

The two methods generate different data formats. You may want to use the same transfer method for all your poll groups so that all the data is in the same format. Refer to the "Examples" section for examples of the two formats.

Bulk file formats have the following characteristics:

•Tables are always written in lexical order.

•MIB objects with a SYNTAX of OCTET STRING are stored as octet strings, not as ASCII characters.

Refer to the CISCO-BULK-FILE-MIB for more information on the format of the bulk files.

Examples

The following example configures the system controller to use the SNMP polling to collect the data: 

syscon poll-group busyPerpoll

Debug Command

The debug syscon perfdata command has been added for this feature.

debug syscon perfdata

Use the debug syscon perfdata EXEC command to display messages related to performance data collection. The no form of this command disables debugging output.

[no] debug syscon perfdata

Usage Guidelines

This command is primarily useful to your technical support representative.

Sample Display

The following is sample debug syscon perfdata output. In this example, the CallFail poll group is configured and applied to shelf 1111. The system determines when the next polling cycle should occur and polls the shelf at the appropriate time. The data is stored in the file CallFail.891645120, and an older file is deleted. 

SysCont# debug syscon perfdata


PERF: Applying 'CallFail' to shelf 1111

PERF: Setting up objects for SNMP polling: 'CallFail', shelf 1111

PERF: year hours mins secs msecs = 1998 15 11 1 5

PERF: Start 'CallFail' timer, next cycle in 0 mins, 59 secs

PERF: Timer event:  CallFail, 4 minutes

PERF: Polling 'CallFail', shelf 1111, pc 60AEFDF0

PERF: SNMP resp: Type 6, 'CallFail', shelf 1111, error_st 0

PERF: Logged polled data to disk0:/performance/shelf-1111/CallFail.891645120

PERF: Deleted disk0:/performance/shelf-1111/CallFail.891637469

What to Do Next

After the system controller has collected the data, you must copy data from the system controller's disk (via FTP or TFTP) to the network management station. Use the poll-interval and samples commands to determine how long the data is stored on the disk before it is erased.
