Introduction

The scmproxy script is a way for the Statistics Collection Manager (SCM) GUI to control the statistics collection. This document provides information on how to use that script.

Prerequisites

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

• Cisco WAN Manager 11.0

• Cisco WAN Manager 10.5

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Conventions

Script Usage

The script /usr/users/svplus/scripts/scmproxy is a new script that version 10.5.10 introduced. The script allows you to start/stop and enable/disable statistics collection. The script is faster than the GUI, and you can use the script for quick and massive statistics configuration. This script calls the executable /usr/users/svplus/bin/scmproxymain.

Step-by-Step Instructions

To use scmproxy, you must have a statshostfile file that contains basic information about the collection server host, information about the statsparser host, and a list of specific nodes.

Perform these steps:

1. Create a statshostfile with use of this statshostfile format and example:

    <CollParam:<BPXtemplate_name1><collectionhostname1><parserhostname1><routinginfo>> 
    bpxnode1 
    bpxnode2 
    ... 
    bpxnoden 
    <CollParam:<IGXtemplate_name1><collectionhostname1><parserhostname1><routinginfo>> 
    igxnode1 
    igxnode2 
    ... 
    igxnode3
   

   Example:

    <CollParam:<BPX_template><server1,server2><server1><inband>> 
    bpx1 
    bpx2 
    <CollParam:<BPX_template><server1,server2><server2><inband>> 
    bpx3
   

   Note: You must form the templates once for each platform from the SCM GUI, with your choice of statistics.

2. When the file is ready, run the scmproxy script in this way:

   %scmproxy statshostfile
   

3. If there are no format errors and logical errors in the statshostfile, you see a prompt to choose one of these five options:

    Welcome to SCM Proxy 
    MENU 
    --------- 
    1) Enable Statistics 
    2) Start Collection 
    3) Stop Collection 
    4) Disable Statistics 
    x) Exit

4. Enter one of the numbers, or enter x to exit.

5. Select any option.

   Note: You must select option 1 before you select options 2, 3, and 4.

   If you select each of these options, you can see the log files that correspond in the svplus/log directory. You can check to determine for which nodes the operation was successful and for which nodes the operation failed. This is a list of the five log files:

   • scmproxy.enable.log

   • scmproxy.disable.log

   • scmproxy.startcoll.log

   • scmproxy.stopcoll.log

   • Options 1, 4, 2, and 3, respectively, and another log file, scmproxy.failednodes.log

     Note: Options 1, 4, 2, and 3 and scmproxy.failednodes.log list the failed nodes for any operation you perform.

Verify

There is currently no verification procedure available for this configuration.

Troubleshoot

This section provides information you can use to troubleshoot your configuration.

You can turn on debug mode in ~svplus/config/scmproxy.conf to troubleshoot the script.
