- Overview of the SAN Analytics Solution

Overview of the SAN Analytics Solution

The SAN Analytics solution provides insights into your fabric by allowing you to monitor, analyze, identify, and troubleshoot performance issues. This solution consists of the following components:

- SAN Analytics—The SAN Analytics feature collects performance and error metrics by inspecting data frames on switch ports. It also allows on-switch display of these metrics through the SAN Analytics CLI.

- SAN Telemetry Streaming—The SAN Telemetry Streaming feature is used to stream the data of interest to one or more receivers such as Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) for analysis.

Currently, there are two types of data that are supported for streaming:

- Flow Metrics—Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) and Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) flow metrics that comprise of key components of Fibre Channel exchanges.

- Interface Metrics—Statistical information of interfaces.

- Cisco DCNM SAN Insights—The Cisco DCNM SAN Insights feature represents the data of interest in a visual manner for analysis. For more information, see the Cisco DCNM SAN Management User Guide.

- Third-Party Devices or Applications—The data of interest can also be streamed and analyzed visually on supported third-party devices (such as VirtualWisdom from Virtual Instruments) or applications.

The following figure depicts the workflow of the SAN Analytics solution:

SAN Analytics Overview

Note

We recommended that you use the SAN Analytics feature in Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(1) or later releases.

The SAN Analytics feature allows you to monitor, analyze, identify, and troubleshoot performance issues on Cisco MDS switches. For a list of supported switches, see the Hardware Requirements for SAN Analytics.

In a Fibre Channel SAN environment, it is important to provision and monitor the performance of all devices to be able to resolve any issues that can hinder the performance of such devices. The SAN Analytics feature monitors flows bidirectionally, correlates the flows in a network processing unit (NPU) within a module or individual switch, and provides the fully analyzed network data to the user.

The following figure shows the functionality of the SAN Analytics feature:

Guidelines and Limitations for SAN Analytics

- This feature is not supported on VSANs where:

- The default zone permit is configured.

- The Inter-VSAN Routing (IVR) or Cisco MDS 9000 Input/Output Accelerator (IOA) feature is enabled.

- Interoperability mode is enabled.

- In-Order Delivery (IOD) is enabled.

- This feature has the following restriction about queries:

- The maximum number of push queries is eight. For information about push queries, see Information About SAN Analytics.

- Does not support clearing and purging of individual metrics. For information about clearing and purging metrics, see Information About SAN Analytics.

- The where condition in the query syntax can accept only the equal (=) operator. For more information, see Query Syntax.

- We recommend that you do not configure the analytics type command on ports that are members of port channels that are connected to Cisco Nexus switches and Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects (SAN port channels) to avoid seeing missing and erroneous metrics.

- For a switch operating in Cisco NPV mode, when server logins move from one uplink to another, either via automatic load balancing by NX-OS or manual rebalancing by the user, the show analytics system-load command output may display an incorrect ITL count on that switch. This occurs if any auto load balanced devices ever need to log in again and do so via a different upstream link. If they do so, then they are assigned a new FCID. Because old analytics device FCID metrics are not automatically removed these stale entries result in additional ITL counts. You must purge the metrics first using the purge analytics “query_string” command before using the show analytics system-load command to get the correct data.

- The show analytics system-load command output displays incorrect ITL count after the VMID Analytics feature is initially enabled. To get the correct ITL count, you must first purge the metrics using the purge analytics “select all from fc-scsi.port” command before using the show analytics system-load command to get the correct data.

- If the total number of ITL records in an analytics engine port set exceeds 4000 on a Cisco MDS 48-Port 64-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module (DS-X9748-3072K9), incomplete analytics data may be reported. See the Analytics Engine Port Set Mapping section for how to reduce the number of flows in the port set and avoid this issue.

The following syslog is displayed when this limit is exceeded:

%ANALYTICS_LC_MGR-SLOT1-4-ANALYTICS_LC_MGR_4K_ITL_LIMIT_HIT: Analytics data may be incomplete on few ports :
Affected ports are fc1/5,fc1/1,fc1/7,fc1/3

- Analytics support on interfaces that are part of a port channel can have an impact on the overall analytics scale numbers.

- The select all option in the query syntax does not display VMID metrics. To view VMID metrics, you must specify one or more individual metrics in the query string and include the vmid key. For example, show analytics query "select port,vsan,app_id,vmid,target_id,initiator_id,lun, active_io_read_count,active_io_write_count from fc-scsi.scsi_initiator_itl_flow" .

- When this feature is used along with Cisco DCNM (or third-party devices or applications), the Network Time Protocol (NTP) must be synchronized. For information on NTP, see the "Configuring NTP" section in the Cisco MDS 9000 Series Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

- This feature is not supported on Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) Destination ports, more commonly known as SD ports, and NP (N-Port) ports. If you are enabling this feature on a range of interfaces, ensure that there are no SD or NP ports in that range of interfaces. Otherwise, this feature will not get enabled on any interface.

- This feature only analyzes frames containing standards-based commands. In Cisco MDS NX-OS Releases 8.2(x) and Release 8.3(x), Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) SCSI read and write commands are supported. From Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.4(1), both Fibre Channel SCSI and Fibre Channel Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) read and write commands are supported. This feature does not analyze any frames containing proprietary commands; these are typically used by storage replication technologies.

- If the feature analytics command is enabled in Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.2(1) or Release 8.3(1), upgrading or downgrading between Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.2(1) and Release 8.3(1) is supported only after this feature is disabled using the no feature analytics command before upgrading or downgrading, and then re-enabling this feature using the feature analytics command.

After downgrading from Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(1) or later releases to Release 8.2(1), this feature works only after you perform the workarounds mentioned in the caveat CSCvm19337.

- After upgrading, downgrading, reloading a switch, or reloading a module, all the flow metrics will be purged.

- This feature is not supported when the switch is in soft zoning mode.

- We recommend that the streaming-sample interval (snsr-grp id sample-interval interval ), port-sampling interval (analytics port-sampling module number size number interval seconds ), and push-query interval (analytics query “query_string” name query_name type periodic [interval seconds] [clear] [differential] ) be configured with the same value. We also recommend that you change or configure the push-query interval first, then the port-sampling interval, and finally, the streaming-sample interval.

Caution

- We recommend that you set the streaming-sample interval, port-sampling interval, and push-query interval to be equal to or more than the minimum recommended value of 30 seconds. Configuring intervals below the minimum value may result in undesirable system behavior.

- See the Cisco MDS NX-OS Configuration Limits, Release 8.x document for information on the maximum number of Initiator-Target-LUNs (ITLs) supported per module.

If the active ITL count exceeds the documented limit, a syslog message is logged. If the limit is exceeded for a significant amount of time, the stability of the switch may be impacted. Use the show analytics system-load command to check the ITL count and NPU load. For more information, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family and Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS System Messages Reference Guide and the Cisco MDS NX-OS Configuration Limits, Release 8.x document.

- To avoid exceeding the network processing unit (NPU) capacity and its consequences, use the Port Sampling feature to analyze the flow metrics. For more information, see Port Sampling.

- After you purge a view instance and its associated metrics, we recommend that you wait for few seconds before executing a pull query, because some fields in the flow metrics may contain irrelevant values until the purge operation is complete.

- NVMe analytics is compatible with the Fibre Channel Non-Volatile Memory Express - 1 (FC-NVMe-1) and FC-NVMe-2 standards.

- This feature tracks every flow metric on a per-port basis. Flow requests and responses spanning different physical ports on a switch may result in some flow metrics not being accurately computed. This condition specifically occurs when this feature is enabled on Inter-Switch Link (ISL) ports (E ports).

The following is a lists the scenarios where a request response can be seen on different ISL ports:

- The load-balancing scheme is changed to Source ID (SID)-Destination ID (DID) by the user using the vsan ID loadbalancing src-dst-id command.

- ISLs (E ports) are configured to nontrunking mode by the user using the switchport trunk mode off command.

- ISLs (E ports) that are part of a port channel, and the port-channel is not configured to the active mode using the no channel mode active command.

- This feature does not work on nontrunk ISL or port channel. For this feature to work on an E port, the E port should have the trunk mode on.

- ISLs are not bundled together to be part of a port channel; that is, ECMP ISLs and ECMP port-channels are not supported.

- There is a port channel between the Cisco MDS 9250i Multiservice Fabric Switch or Cisco MDS 9148S 16-G Multilayer Fabric Switch and the Cisco MDS 9700 48-Port 32 Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module (DS-X9648-1536K9).

- This feature is not supported on a FICON enabled Cisco MDS 9000 switches.

- SAN Analytics is supported on MDS 9124V and MDS 9148V from Release 9.4(1). To downgrade to an earlier release, you must disable SAN Analytics before the downgrade.

Information About SAN Analytics

The SAN Analytics feature collects flow metrics using frames of interest, for data analysis, and includes the following components:

- Data Collection—The flow data is collected from NPU and eventually sent and stored on the supervisor of a switch. The data that is displayed is the real time view of the data and does not display historical data.

- On-board Querying—The data that is stored in a database can be extracted using a pull query, a push query, or overlay CLIs. Queries are used to extract the flow metrics of interest from the database. The frames of interest are used to monitor, analyze, and troubleshoot performance issues on a switch. For more information, see Constructing and Using Queries.

The following are the different ways of querying the database:

- The pull query is a one-time query that is used to extract the flow information that is stored in the database at the instant the query is executed. The output is in JSON format. Pull queries are NX-API compliant.

The overlay CLI ShowAnalytics command is a python script that issues a predefined pull query that displays the flow metrics in a user-friendly tabular format. It is a CLI wrapper that is written in Python and stored in the bootflash for execution.

From Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(1), the following options are supported in a pull query:

- Clear—Clears all minimum, maximum, and peak flow metrics.

- Differential—Returns the absolute value of only the ITL or ITN flow metrics that were updated between the last and the present streaming intervals. We recommend that you use the differential query to improve scale values of your switch.

- Push query—A recurring query that is installed to periodically extract the flow metrics that are stored in the database and send them to a destination. The output is in JSON format.

From Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(1), the following options are available in a push query:

- Clear—Clears all minimum, maximum, and peak flow metrics.

- Differential—Returns the absolute value of only the ITL or ITN flow metrics that were updated between the last and the present streaming intervals. We recommend that you use the differential query to improve scale values of your switch.

Push query supports the following modes for extracting flow metrics:

- Continuous mode—Data is gathered continuously on all analytics-enabled ports.

- Sampling mode—Data is gathered on a subset of analytics-enabled ports at a configured port-sampling interval, and then the data-gathering mechanism is cycled through the next subset of ports. For example, data is gathered on a group of 6 ports from the 24 analytics-enabled ports with a port sampling interval of 30 seconds. For more information, see Port Sampling.

The database that is used for storing the flow metrics is organized according to the following hierarchy:

- Analytics Type—The protocol type to analyze. fc-scsi analytics type is supported in Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.2(x) and Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(x). fc-scsi and fc-nvme analytics types are supported from Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.4(1).

- View—A view is a selection of flow metrics in the database defined by any valid combination of port, VSAN, initiator, target, LUN, and namespace ID parameters.

- View Type—Views are defined based on components that constitute a flow, for example, port view, initiator_IT view, target_ITL view, and so on. The query syntax is used to run queries on a view type. The syntax supports only one query on a single view type. For a list of view types that are supported, see List of Supported View Types.

- View Instance—An instance of a given view type. View instance has its own flow metrics. For example, for port view type, fc1/1 is one instance, fc1/2 is another instance, and so on.

- Flow Metrics—The flow metrics that are used for analysis. From Cisco MDS NX-OS 8.5(1) NVMe traffic metrics include only IO frames as classified by the NVMe frame's Category field. Prior to this release both IO and admin frames were included. For information about the list of flow metrics that are supported, see the view profiles in the Flow Metrics section in Appendix.

The following image shows the various components of a sample database:

Sample Database

For sample examples on configuring a query syntax, see the Examples: Configuring Query Syntax.

The following is the flow data collection workflow:

1. Feature Enablement—Enable the SAN Analytics feature on switches for which flow metrics have to be analyzed.

2. Interface Enablement—Enable collection of flow metrics on interfaces. We recommend that you enable the SAN Analytics feature on host interfaces, as seen in the images in Deployment Modes.

3. Executing and Installing Queries—The following queries are used to retrieve flow metrics from the database:

- Pull Query—Provides near real-time flow metrics for troubleshooting issues directly on a switch. Data from a pull query is extracted from the database at that instant and responded to the query. Pull query can be executed using CLI or via NX-API. Cisco DCNM can use the NX-API to gather data for visualization.

Overlay CLI—A predefined pull query that displays the flow metrics in a user-friendly tabular format. It provides near real-time flow metrics for troubleshooting issues directly on a switch.

The following image shows the functionality of a pull query:

Pull Query

- Push Query—Provides flow metrics at regular intervals. You can specify a time interval, in seconds. After the time interval expires, the flow metrics that are of interest to the user are refreshed and pushed from the database. When multiple queries are installed, each of the push queries pushes the flow metrics independent of each other, which is the expected behavior.

Note

- Pull query, push query, and overlay CLI are applicable only on the interfaces on which the SAN Analytics feature is enabled.

- Push query timer fetches flow metrics from the NPU and stores them in the database on the supervisor at a specified push query interval.

The following image shows the functionality of a push query where only certain metrics are set to be updated at specific intervals:

Push Query

4. Clearing and Resetting Metrics—The following features allow you to clear or reset the flow metrics that are collected in a database:

- Purge—Deletes a specified view instance and all the metrics that are associated with this view instance. The view instance is immediately rebuilt with the new IO and all view metrics start counting from zero. Use this option to flush any stale metrics from a view, such as when an initiator or target is no longer active or present.

The following image shows the purge metrics query functionality:

Purge Metrics Query

- Clear—Resets all the metrics that match the specified query string to zero except the flow metrics of the type key. After clearing, the database continues to collect the flow metrics for the specified query.

Note

The clear analytics query command is different from the clear option that is used in a push query. The clear analytics query command resets all the metrics that meet the query syntax and the clear option that is used in a push query resets the minimum, maximum, and peak flow metrics.

The following image shows the clear metrics query functionality:

VMID Analytics

Note

The VMID Analytics feature is currently in beta status for use in non-production environment only. Contact your account teams or Cisco MDS marketing team to understand the use case before enabling this feature. This beta status and restriction will change to regular production status in an upcoming release.

The SAN Analytics feature provides Fibre Channel traffic information at a device (per FCID) level. However, end devices can host multiple virtual entities (virtual machines [VMs]) and each VM can cause a varying load on the Fibre Channel fabric. Therefore, it becomes crucial to monitor the Fibre Channel performance of each VM. The VMID Analytics feature can be used to monitor, analyze, identify, and troubleshoot Fibre Channel performance issues at a VM level.

Individual VMs within a given device use the same FCID for their SCSI and NVMe IO exchanges. The NX-OS Virtual Machine Identifier (VMID) server feature enables resolving traffic sources from a per-FCID device level to an individual VM level. For more information on this feature, see the "VMID" section in the "Managing FLOGI, Name Server, FDMI, and RSCN Databases" chapter of the Cisco MDS 9000 Series Fabric Configuration Guide, Release 8.x.

After the VMID server feature is enabled, the VMID Analytics feature can subsequently be enabled to resolve performance metrics for initiators. When enabled, analytics views that used to report the initiator level metrics will also report VMID level metrics. Only the view types which include the scsi-initiator-id or nvme-initiator-id key are monitored. An additional vmid key is supported for these view types. You must specify the vmid key as part of the "selected fields" list along with the initiator ID in the query syntax to collect the VMID-specific analytics. If VMID is not specified in the "selected fields" list and only the initiator ID is specified then the aggregated metrics are collected for the initiator.

Disabling the VMID Server feature cause attached devices to stop inserting VMID information into Fibre Channel frames. Also, when the VMID Analytics feature is disabled the frames are counted against the source FCID and not the VMID. However, the Analytics database continues to retain the previously collected per-VMID metrics. You must purge the metrics or perform a nondisruptive module upgrade to reset the database. If you do not purge the metrics, then the output of the pull or push query with and without using the differential option will be as follows:

- When you use the differential option in a pull or push query after the VMID Analytics feature is disabled, only the first pull or push query will contain the stale per-VMID metrics.

- When you do not use the differential option in a pull or push query after the VMID Analytics feature is disabled, every pull or push query will fetch the stale per-VMID metrics.

The VMID Analytics feature was introduced in Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.5(1).

Port Sampling

The Port Sampling feature that is introduced in Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(1) allows you to gather data from a subset of ports in a module that is already being monitored, cycle through the various subsets of ports, and stream data from these ports at a regular port-sampling interval.

This feature is useful when the NPU load is high and you cannot reduce the number of ports that are being monitored on a module. In such a situation, the load on the NPU can be reduced by sampling a subset of the monitored ports at a specified port-sampling interval. Use the show analytics system-load command to check the NPU load.

In Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(2), system messages were introduced to alert you if the NPU load is high when the ITL count exceeds a module limit, when the ITL count exceeds the system limit, and when there is no response from NPU for analytics data. For more information, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family and Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS System Messages Reference document.

Any I/O and errors that occur on a monitored port, when it is not being sampled, are not seen and not included in the analytics data.

The port sampling interval that is used in this feature is independent of the streaming sample interval. We recommend that you set the streaming-sample interval, port-sampling interval, and push query interval to be equal to or more than the minimum recommended value of 30 seconds.

Note

When this feature is enabled on a module and then the SAN Analytics feature is enabled on new ports on the module, the port-sampling data for the new ports are streamed only after the next port-sampling interval.

Port-Sampling Scenarios

Let us consider a module consisting of 48 ports and group them into two subsets of 24 ports. Depending on the port-sampling intervals that are configured for these subsets of ports and the streaming-sample interval that is configured, flow metrics can be captured at different intervals as seen in the following examples:

Port-Sampling Groups

- When the port-sampling interval and the streaming-sample interval start at the same time:

Port Sampling Interval and Streaming Sample Interval Starting at the Same Time

- When the port-sampling interval and the streaming-sample interval start at a different time:

Port Sampling Interval and Streaming Sample Interval Starting at a Different Time

Analytics Engine Port Set Mapping

Starting with 64 Gbps capable ports, analytics data on a module is managed as sets of ports by the port ASICs. The data from each port set are stored in a dedicated memory block. To avoid analytics data loss, the total number of ITL flows monitored through each port set should not exceed the capacity of the associated block.

Device

Maximum ITL Flows per monitoring interval

DS-X9748-3072K9

4000 flows per port set

If the number of ITL flows per port set exceeds the capacity of the associated block, it may be reduced by disabling analytics on one or more of the ports in a port set, or by moving the traffic to a physical port in a different port set.

Table 1 provides the partitioning of ports to analytics engine port sets:

The SAN Analytics feature is enabled on all the Cisco MDS core switches and on the interfaces that are connected to storage arrays.

Storage Edge Deployment Mode

ISL Deployment Mode

The SAN Analytics feature is enabled on all the Cisco MDS switches and on the interfaces that are on any one side of ISLs.

ISL Deployment Mode

The following image shows the functionality of the SAN Analytics feature when supported and unsupported modules (16-Gbps Fibre Channel, Cisco MDS 9700 40-Gbps 24-Port FCoE Module (DS-X9824-960K9), Cisco MDS 24/10-Port SAN Extension Module (DS-X9334-K9), and so on) are used in SAN.

Note

The numbers 1 and 2 in the Functionality of the SAN Analytics Feature When Supported and Unsupported Modules are Used represent two different flows from initiators to targets respectively.

Functionality of The SAN Analytics Feature When Supported and Unsupported Modules are Used

Note

- In the above ISL mode scenarios, the request responses can be seen on different members of port channel.

- When supported and unsupported modules are used on ISL, the analytics data that is analyzed on the ISL may not be accurate. Hence, we recommend that you do not analyze data on ISL where supported and unsupported modules are used.

Configuring SAN Analytics

Enable the SAN Analytics feature on both a switch and its interfaces in order to enable flow metric collection from the interfaces.

Note

- To use the SAN Analytics feature, you must install an appropriate license package using the install license command. For more information, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Series Licensing Guide.

- If you are using Cisco DCNM SAN Insights, you can configure the SAN Analytics feature in Cisco DCNM SAN Insights and there is no need to configure this feature on the switch. For more information, see the "Configuring SAN Insights" section in the Cisco DCNM SAN Management Configuration Guide.

Querying Metrics on a Switch

When you run a pull query CLI, the specified metrics are collected from the NPU of a module, stored in the metric database on the supervisor, and then displayed in the user session.

- Schema for Querying Metrics

- Query Syntax

- Query Rules

- Views

- Examples: Configuring Query Syntax

Schema for Querying Metrics

A schema is used to display the data of interest that is stored in a database to a user. Use the show analytics schema command for more information on schema. Metrics are maintained in a database in the form of various view instances. These view instances can be retrieved using queries. See Views for more information.

Query Syntax

The following is the query syntax that is used in the pull query, push query, clearing metrics, and purging views:

select all | column1[, column2, column3, …] from analytics_type.view_type [where filter_list1 [and filter_list2 …]] [sort column [asc | desc]] [limit number]

The following are the elements of the query syntax:

- analytics_type —Specifies the analytics type. Only the fc-scsi type is supported in Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.2(1) and Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(1). From Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.4(1), fc-nvme analytics type is supported.

- view_type —Specifies the view type of a metric database. The syntax is used to run queries on it. The syntax supports only one query on a single view type. For the list of supported view types and their descriptions, see List of Supported View Types.

- column —Specifies the flow metrics. A view instance contains multiple columns.

- filter_list —Specifies the filters to extract specific metrics of a view instance. You can use the filter conditions on a flow metric column whose type is a key value or on a view instance column. You can also use the AND operator for filtering. For a list of view types that are supported, see List of Supported View Types.

- sort —Specifies to sort the results in a column. Sorting is performed before the limit operation is performed.

- asc —Sorts the results in a column in ascending order. By default, sorting is done in ascending order if no order is specified.

- desc —Sorts the results in a column in descending order.

- limit —Limits the number of metrics that are returned in a result.

For examples on configuring query syntax, see the Examples: Configuring Query Syntax.

Note

- The limit and where options in the "query_string" can only be used on the key fields.

- Prior to Cisco MDS NX-OS, Release 8.3(2), the sort option in the "query_string" could only be used on the key fields and the metrics were sorted only in ascending order. From Cisco MDS NX-OS, Release 8.3(2), the sort option in the "query_string" can be used on all the metrics and metadata fields and can be sorted in ascending or descending order using the asc or desc options respectively. By default, sorting is performed in ascending order if no order is specified.

If you have configured push queries with the sort asc or sort desc option, make sure that you remove these sort options before downgrading from Cisco MDS NX-OS, Release 8.3(2) to Cisco MDS NX-OS, Release 8.3(1) or earlier releases.

Query Rules

The following are the rules for constructing queries:

- The select , from , where , sort , and limit conditions should be used in the same order as described in Query Syntax.

- The list of columns under the select condition should belong to the schema that corresponds to the view_type under the from condition.

- The where condition is allowed only on flow metric fields whose type is a key value. For information about the flow metric fields whose type is a key value, see List of Supported View Types.

- Before Cisco MDS NX-OS, Release 8.3(2), the sort condition must be a metric field and should be present among the columns that are listed under the select condition. From Cisco MDS NX-OS, Release 8.3(2), the sort condition must be a metric or metadata field and should be present among the columns that are listed under the select condition.

Views

A view is a representation of the flow metrics about a port, initiator, target, LUN, or any valid combination of these. Each view type supports specific flow metrics. To optimize resource utilization, long names in the flow metrics are used for OnBoard queries and short names are used for SAN Telemetry Streaming. For more information, see Flow Metrics.

View Types Representation

Note

The examples provided in this section are for SCSI analytics type and can be extended to the NVMe analytics type as well.

We have considered a sample topology to explain the different view types. In the following image:

- Initiator 1 and Initiator 2 are configured in VSAN 1 and are communicating with Target 1, Target 2, LUN 1, and LUN 2 in zone 1.

- Initiator 1 generates 125 read I/Os to Target 1 and 75 read I/Os to Target 2.

- Initiator 2 generates 50 read I/Os to Target 1 and Target 2 respectively.

- Initiator 3 is configured in VSAN 2 and communicates with Target 3, LUN 3, and LUN 4 in zone 2.

Initiator 3 generates 300 read I/Os to Target 3. Target 3 is generating 150 read I/Os to LUN 3 and LUN 4 respectively.

Note

The information that is provided in brackets in the following images are the Fibre Channel IDs (FCIDs) of the devices.

For the list of supported view types and their descriptions, see List of Supported View Types.

Examples: Configuring Query Syntax

The show analytics query 'select all from fc-scsi.scsi_initiator' command provides an output of the flow metrics of all the initiators, as seen in the sample database shown in the following image:

Flow Metrics of all the Initiators

The show analytics query 'select total_read_io_count from fc-scsi.scsi_initiator' command provides an output of a target’s total_read_io_count flow metrics, as seen in the sample database in the following image:

Flow Metrics of a Target's Total Read IO Count

The show analytics query 'select total_read_io_count,total_write_io_count from fc-scsi.scsi_target_it_flow’ command provides an output of an initiator’s and a target’s total_read_io_count and total_write_io_count flow metrics viewed from the target, as seen in the sample database in the following image:

Flow Metrics of an Initiator's and Target's Total Read IO Count and Total Write IO Count

The show analytics query 'select all from fc-scsi.port where port=fc1/1 and vsan=2 limit 1’ command provides an output of a port’s flow metrics that are a part of port fc1/1, VSAN 2, with the number of records is limited to one, as seen in the sample database in the following image:

Flow Metrics of the Port FC 1/1 That Belongs to VSAN 2 With the Number of Records Limited to One

The show analytics query 'select all from fc-scsi.scsi_initiator where port=fc1/1 and vsan=3 sort total_write_io_count’ command provides an output of an initiator’s total_write_io_count flow metrics that are a part of port fc1/1 and VSAN 3, and the output is sorted, as seen in the sample database in the following image:

Flow Metrics of an Initiator's Total Write IO Count That Belongs to Port FC1/1 and VSAN 3 With the Output Sorted

Constructing and Using Queries

Flow metrics are analyzed by using a query_string that is in the form of a query syntax.

- Displaying the Installed Push Queries

- Displaying the Results of a Push Query

- Executing a Pull Query

- Configuring a Push Query

- Removing a Configured Push Query

- Clearing Metrics

- Purging Views

- Displaying the Results of a Configured Push Query

- Example: Constructing and Using Queries

Displaying the Installed Push Queries

To display the installed push queries, run this command:

switch# show analytics query { all | name query_name}

Displaying the Results of a Push Query

To display the results of a push query, run this command:

switch# show analytics query name query_name result

Executing a Pull Query

To execute a pull query, run this command:

switch# show analytics query “query_string” [clear] [differential]

Note

Use the "query_string" to specify query semantics, such as select, table, limit, and so on, for example, “select all from fc-scsi.port”.

Configuring a Push Query

To configure a push query, perform these steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Enter global configuration mode:

switch# configure terminal

Step 2

Specify a query string and a timer value for the flow metrics to be displayed at specific intervals:

switch(config)# analytics query “query_string” name query_name type periodic [interval seconds] [clear] [differential]

Only one push query using a "query_string" is allowed at a time. If you try to configure a duplicate push query name, a message is returned stating that the current configuration is a duplicate.

Note

Pull query, push query, and overlay CLI are applicable only on interfaces where the SAN Analytics feature is enabled.

Removing a Configured Push Query

To remove a configured push query, perform these steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Enter global configuration mode:

switch# configure terminal

Step 2

Remove a configured push query:

switch(config)# no analytics name query_name

Clearing Metrics

To reset all the flow metrics for a view instance that match the query string, run this command:

switch# clear analytics query “query_string”

Note

- The "query_string" must have the format "select all from <view-name>".

- You can clear the flow metrics without installing a push query.

- The clear analytics query command is different from the clear option that is used in a push query. The clear analytics query command resets all the metrics that meet the query syntax and the clear option that is used in a push query resets the minimum, maximum, and peak flow metrics.

Purging Views

To delete a specific view instance and its associated metrics, run this command:

switch# purge analytics query “query_string”

Note

- The "query_string" must have the format "select all from <view-name>".

- You can clear the flow metrics without installing a push query.

- The where clause in the purge query can accept only the port key field.

Displaying the Results of a Configured Push Query

The flow metrics that are displayed using the show analytics query name query_name result command are the refreshed metrics at the time interval when this command was executed. For example, if a push query is configured to refresh at an interval of every 30 seconds, and the show analytics query name query_name result command is executed after 35 seconds, the push query displays the flow metrics that were refreshed when the time interval was 30 seconds.

To display the flow metrics of a configured push query, run this command:

switch# show analytics query name query_name result

Example: Constructing and Using Queries

Note

- The number after “values” in the output indicates the corresponding number of a record.

- New metrics are added in Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(1) because of which the query results may vary slightly between Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(1) and later releases and Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.2(1).

This example shows the output after purging the flow metrics:

Note

Only the port key value is allowed with the where clause for purging metrics.

switch# purge analytics query "select all from fc-scsi.scsi_target where port=fc3/17"
switch# show analytics query "select all from fc-scsi.scsi_target where port=fc3/17"
Table is empty for query "select all from fc-scsi.scsi_target where port=fc3/17"

Using the ShowAnalytics Overlay CLI

The ShowAnalytics overlay CLI is used to interpret the analytics data that is in JSON format in a user-friendly tabular format. The ShowAnalytics overlay CLI has a "Linux like" syntax and uses the inbuilt NX-OS Python interpreter to execute a script to convert the JSON output of the pull query into a tabular format. Currently, only a small subset of the flow metrics is displayed.

Note

- To execute Overlay CLIs, you must login as network-admin.

- The ShowAnalytics overlay command displays cumulative data about the Exchange Completion Time (ECT) for the --initiator-itl and --target-itl options under the --info option. However, it displays instantaneous data for rate and bandwidth metrics.

- If the active ITL count exceeds the documented limit, the ShowAnalytics overlay command displays a warning and exits. For information on the ITL count limit, see the Cisco MDS NX-OS Configuration Limits, Release 8.x document.

- If you configure a push query with the clear keyword as recommended by Virtual Instruments or Cisco DCNM, the minimum and maximum flow metrics will not have accurate values.

- The options under the ShowAnalytics command support only the SCSI analytics type, except the --evaluate-npuload option that supports both SCSI and NVMe analytics types.

- Run the --evaluate-npuload option before configuring the analytics type on interfaces. The --evaluate-npuload option does not work on a module even if one of the interface on the module is configured with an analytic type.

- The --outstanding-io option works only on F ports.

To display the analytics information in a tabular format, run this command:

switch# ShowAnalytics –help .

For more information, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Series Command Reference, Release 8.x.

- Examples: Using the ShowAnalytics Overlay CLI

Examples: Using the ShowAnalytics Overlay CLI

This example shows the options under the overlay CLI:

Note

The option to display the available keywords and variables under the overlay CLI and its options that are added from Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.4(2) and later.

switch# ShowAnalytics ?
ShowAnalytics              Aliased to 'source sys/analytics.py'
ShowAnalyticsConsistency   Aliased to 'source sys/analytics_pss_consistency_checker.py'
--errors                   To display errors stats in all IT(L/N) pairs
--errorsonly               To display IT(L/N) flows with errors
--evaluate-npuload         To evaluate npuload on system
--help                     To display help and exit
--info                     To display information about IT(L/N) flows
--minmax                   To display min max and peak info about IT(L/N) flows
--outstanding-io           To display outstanding io for an interface
--top                      To display top 10 IT(L/N) Flow
--version                  To display version of utility and exit
--vsan-thput               To display per vsan throughput for interface

This example shows how to display the overlay CLI version:

* This total is an indicative reference based on evaluated ports

Note

Evaluating NPU load takes some time. If the connection to the switch is lost during the evaluation process, the process continues to run in the background until completion and the output is saved in a file. A syslog message is generated after the process is complete with the filename and the location of the file where the output is saved.

This example shows how to duplicate the output to a file named output.txt on bootflash:

Note

You can use the --outfile option with all the ShowAnalytics command options to duplicate the command output to a file.

switch# ShowAnalytics --evaluate-npuload --outfile output.txt

Displaying Congestion Drops Per Flow

The SAN Analytics feature displays packet timeout drops on a per-flow basis. The number of packets dropped along with the time stamp for ports is displayed.

To display the packet drops on a per-flow basis, run this command:

switch# show analytics flow congestion-drops

Note

From Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 9.4(1), the command show analytics flow congestion-drops is available as part of the show tech-support slowdrain commands as slot <slot number> show analytics flow congestion-drops. The command is available on MDS switches that are capable of performing analytic.

- Examples: Displaying Congestion Drops Per Flow

Examples: Displaying Congestion Drops Per Flow

This example shows flows where frames are dropped due to congestion. The source and destination FCID, differential frame drop count for the IT pair, and timestamp of the drops are displayed.

As of Mon Apr  1 05:31:10 2019

Note

The show analytics system-load command provides the system load information based on all ITL counts, including active and inactive ITL counts. Hence, we recommend that you use the purge analytics query “query_string” command to remove the inactive ITL counts, and then run this command to get the active ITL counts.

This example displays the NPU load, ITL, and ITN of all active modules:

switch# ShowAnalytics --systemload-active

This will run differential query on scsi_initiator_itl_flow, scsi_target_itl_flow,
nvme_initiator_itn_flow, nvme_target_itn_flow, scsi_initiator, scsi_target,
nvme_initiator and nvme_target  or use the result of installed query if present

Troubleshooting SAN Analytics

Due to an ASIC issue, it is possible that the ITO table is not flushed, if the response to an exchange is received on another link (due to port channel flap or such rare occasions). This event itself does not affect analytics. But if this happens for a large number of ITLs and if there is a lot of churn in the fabric (such that the ITLs which had an ITO table hitare now quiet and a fresh set of ITLs are now active in the fabric), then scale can be affected. An error can occur in AMC when the scale limits are exceeded. On 64G modules and switches the analytics are collected via the AlertMgrCollector(AMC).

The AMC reset feature provides a non-disruptive recovery of analytics by resetting only the ASIC analytics. You can reset the AMC on the line card using the analytics reset module <module-number> command. For scale limits, see the Cisco MDS NX-OS Configuration Limits, Release 9.x.

This command resets only the AMC modules and flushes all the entries in the table and recover the AMC from ITO_HIT_ON_CMD.

For example:

switch # analytics reset module 6
switch # 2022 Jun 15 12:24:48 sw184-9706 %ANALYTICS_LC_MGR-SLOT6-5-ANALYTICS_LC_MGR_RESET_SUCCESS:
Analytics reset successful on module 6

On a successful reset, following syslog will be seen:

switch# 2022 Mar 13 22:35:54 switch
%ANALYTICS_LC_MGR-SLOT6-5-ANALYTICS_LC_MGR_RESET_SUCCESS: Reset of Analytics engine
succeeded.

On failure to reset, following syslog will be seen:

switch# 2022 Mar 13 22:35:54 switch
%ANALYTICS_LC_MGR-SLOT6-3-ANALYTICS_LC_MGR_RESET_FAILURE: Reset of Analytics engine
failed

If a failure syslog is seen, collect the tech-support and reload the module for recovery.

Interface Statistics

8.3(1)

SAN Telemetry Streaming Overview

Cisco NX-OS provides several mechanisms such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), CLI, and syslog to collect data from a network. The SAN Telemetry Streaming feature is used to stream the data of interest to one or more upstream receivers such as Cisco DCNM for analysis. The pull model that is used in SAN analytics is used to send data from the server only when clients request for it.

In general, data is collected from switches using the push (fetch) model streams data to the client continuously. SAN Telemetry Streaming enables the push model, which provides near-real-time access to monitor data.

Data collected from sensors can be streamed to Cisco DCNM or third-party devices or apps, by adding a sensor path to a sensor group in the SAN Telemetry Streaming configuration. For more information, see Configuring SAN Telemetry Streaming.

Note

In Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(1), the version number added in the telemetry payload is 1.0.0.1.

- Interface Statistics Streaming

- Transceiver Parameters Streaming

Interface Statistics Streaming

Interface statistics streaming allows you to stream traffic and error counters data from Fibre Channel interfaces. Collection of traffic and error counters are enabled by default and cannot be configured or disabled. There are more than 65 interface statistics counters available. For information on the modules that support interface statistics, see Hardware Requirements for SAN Analytics.

For information on the list of supported interface counters, see Interface Counters.

Transceiver Parameters Streaming

Transceiver parameters streaming periodically collects information about transceivers and streams it to receivers. The information is comprised of both operational Diagnostic Optical Monitoring (DOM) data as well as static data about the vendor name, model number, and serial number of each monitored transceiver, along with the switch timestamp. This allows centralized and enhanced transceiver monitoring over the local NX-OS on-switch transceiver parameter threshold monitoring.

Analyzing transceiver DOM operating parameters over time can be used to identify transceiver performance issues. For example, correlating interface errors such as bit errors or frame CRCs with transceiver receive power level could lead to identification of intermittent cable issues which might otherwise be difficult to identify. The timestamp can be used for time sequencing and correlation with other data or logs.

Transceiver parameters streaming sensors may be defined to collect either local switch transceiver data only, or both local and peer transceiver data.

Note

Monitoring peer transceiver data requires that the peer device supports inband FC Read Diagnostic Parameters (RDP) ELS requests.

This feature is comprised of the following components:

- Collection on the switch: The transceiver parameters listed in Table 1 are periodically collected. These are monitored locally by NX-OS on the switch, independently of transceiver parameter streaming.

- Streaming to receivers: Telemetry configuration commands are used to specify the range of interfaces to stream and the streaming interval for the transceiver parameters. Streaming starts from 10 minutes after the transceiver is operational to avoid stale data being streamed. The receiver may then monitor and analyze the data.

Note

Transceiver parameters streaming is supported only on Fibre Channel ports.

Guidelines and Restrictions for SAN Telemetry Streaming

- If the feature telemetry command is enabled, ensure that you disable this feature using the no feature telemetry command before downgrading to a release earlier than Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(1).

- Before Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(2), SAN Telemetry Streaming only supported Google Protocol Buffers (GPB) encoding over Google remote procedure call (gRPC) transport. From Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(2), compact GPB encoding support was added. Ensure that all the destinations under a destination group and all the destination groups under a subscription are of the same encoding type.

Note

GPB key value encoding is referred to as just GPB. GPB is used instead of GPB key value in configuration and show commands.

- If you are using Cisco DCNM SAN Insights, configure the SAN Telemetry Streaming feature in Cisco DCNM SAN Insights; there is no need to configure this feature on the switch. For more information, see the "Configuring SAN Insights" section in the Cisco DCNM SAN Management Configuration Guide.

- We recommend that the streaming-sample interval (snsr-grp id sample-interval interval ), port-sampling interval (analytics port-sampling module number size number interval seconds ), and push-query interval (analytics query “query_string” name query_name type periodic [interval seconds] [clear] [differential] ) be configured with the same value. We also recommend that you change or configure the push-query interval first, then the port-sampling interval, and finally, the streaming-sample interval.

- The smallest streaming sample interval that is supported is 30 seconds. We recommend that you set the push query interval, port sampling interval, and streaming sample interval to be equal to or more than the minimum recommended value of 30 seconds and to be the same value. Configuring intervals below the minimum value may result in undesirable system behavior.

- Streaming of interface statistics is not supported on Cisco MDS 9132T switches that operate in the Cisco NPV mode.

- Up to two management receivers (destinations) are supported. However, we recommend that you configure only one receiver for optimal performance.

- If you are configuring multiple receivers (Cisco DCNM or third-party devices or apps), we recommend that you configure them under the same destination group. If there are multiple Cisco DCNM receivers, you must manually configure the receivers in the same destination group.

- When an SAN Telemetry Streaming receiver stops functioning, other receivers experience interruption in data flow. Restart the failed receiver. For information on how to restart the receiver, see your receiver documentation.

Telemetry data streaming is uniform if the receiver is running without any delays and the management port is free from packet drops. If there are gRPC transport delays because of slowness in the receiver or network, there is a possibility of data collection getting interrupted, and the data getting dropped on the switch because of system memory limitations. The occurrence of this issue depends on the number of ITLs being streamed out and the delay in or slowness of the network. Use the show telemetry control database sensor-groups , show telemetry transport session_id errors , and any telemetry syslog command to check the drops at a sensor group level and transport status for transport delays, if any. For more information, see Troubleshooting SAN Telemetry Streaming.

Note

If the slowness in the network is not fixed, or if there are continuous network drops that are slowing the transmission or streaming of analytics data for a duration of 25 hours or more, the transport session is disabled permanently and a syslog message is generated. After you fix the issue, the streaming can be resumed by removing and configuring the IP address under the corresponding destination group. For configuration details, see Configuring SAN Telemetry Streaming.

- SAN Telemetry and Streaming is supported on MDS 9124V and MDS 9148V from Release 9.4(1). To downgrade to an earlier release, you must disable SAN telemetry before the downgrade.

- In Releases before 9.4(1), read and write IO bandwidth metrics for line rate traffic of 64 Gbps was truncated. From Release 9.4(1), MDS NX-OS accurately reports bandwidth metrics of upto 64 Gbps line rate traffic.

- For telemetry, the original bandwidth fields are renamed to *_deprecated and the new bandwidth fields are renamed to the original names. Therefore, the bandwidth fields that are streamed are:

- read_io_bandwidth

- peak_read_io_bandwidth

- write_io_bandwidth

- peak_write_io_bandwidth

- read_io_bandwidth_deprecated

- peak_read_io_bandwidth_deprecated

- write_io_bandwidth_deprecated

- peak_write_io_bandwidth_deprecated

gRPC Error Behavior

A switch client disables connection to a gRPC receiver after the gRPC receiver sends 20 errors, one of the gRPC errors or both, to the switch. If the response from the receiver takes more than 30 seconds, and if this condition persists for 25 hours continuously, the respective transport session is marked as disabled. You must unconfigure and reconfigure the destination IP address under the destination group to enable the gRPC receiver. Use the show telemetry transport session_id errors command to view the errors generated. For configuration details, see Configuring SAN Telemetry Streaming and for errors, see Troubleshooting SAN Telemetry Streaming.

The following are gRPC errors:

- The gRPC client sends the wrong certificate for secure connections.

- The gRPC receiver takes too long to handle client messages and incurs a timeout. Avoid timeouts by processing messages using a separate message-processing thread.

SAN Telemetry Streaming Encoding

The following encoding are used in SAN Telemetry Streaming:

- GPB Key Value—Before Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(2), GPB key value was the only supported encoding. The key that is used in this encoding is a string and is self-describing. However, the data size that is used in this encoding is larger than the compact GPB encoding. In this type of encoding, the data can be easily analyzed without any intermediate process. For more information on the key fields, see Flow Metrics.

- Compact GPB—From Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(2), compact GPB encoding support was added. The key that is used in this encoding is an integer. Hence, the data size that is used in this encoding is smaller than the GPB-KV encoding. However, a decoding table is required to decode integers to their respective metrics. The decoding table for compact GPB is a .proto file. With compact GPB, you must use the telemetry_bis.proto file for all path analytics: query_name queries and upload it to your collector for parsing the data stream.

Note

For interface statistics streaming (path show_stats), only GPB-KV encoding is supported.

The following example displays a snippet of the telemetry fields that are used in compact GPB .proto file:

message Telemetry {
...
repeated TelemetryField data_gpbkv = 11;
TelemetryGPBTable data_gpb = 12;
...}
message TelemetryGPBTable {
repeated TelemetryRowGPB row = 1;
}
message TelemetryRowGPB {
uint64 timestamp = 1;
bytes keys = 10;
bytes content = 11;
}

In this example, the fields that are used in the .proto file of compact GPB are included under the data_gpb field. The key field in the TelemetryRowGPB message structure carries the .proto filename (fabric_telemetry) and the content field carries the fields from the .proto file.

For information on the .proto files that are used in compact GPB, see SAN Telemetry Streaming Proto Files — Prior to Release 9.4(1).

Configuring SAN Telemetry Streaming

Note

If you are using Cisco DCNM SAN Insights, you can configure the SAN Telemetry Streaming feature in Cisco DCNM SAN Insights; there is no need to configure this feature on the switch. For more information, see the "Configuring SAN Insights" section in the Cisco DCNM SAN Management Configuration Guide.

The following images display the different ways of configuring sensor and destination groups:

Sensor Group Mapped to the Same Destination Group

Sensor Group Mapped to a Different Destination Group

One Sensor Group Mapped to Multiple Destination Groups

Multiple Sensor Groups Mapped to a Single Destination Group

To configure SAN Telemetry Streaming, perform the following procedure.

Before you begin

- Ensure that your switch is running Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(1) or a later release.

- Enable the SAN Analytics feature. See Enabling SAN Analytics.

- Ensure that the timezone on the telemetry source switch is set correctly with the clock configuration command. Otherwise, SAN telemetry receivers will be unable to correlate the received analytics timestamps. For more information about this command, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Series Command Reference.

Procedure

Step 1

Enter global configuration mode:

switch# configure terminal

Step 2

Enable the SAN Telemetry Streaming feature:

switch(config)# feature telemetry

Step 3

Enter SAN Telemetry Streaming configuration mode:

switch(config)# telemetry

Step 4

(Optional) Use an existing SSL or TLS certificate:

switch(config-telemetry)# certificate certificate_path host_name

Note

On Cisco MDS 9700 Series switches, ensure that the client certificate is available on both active and standby supervisors for secure telemetry configuration. Otherwise, the SAN Telemetry Streaming will fail after an upgrade or downgrade. Use the copy bootflash:<client certificate file> bootflash://sup-standby/<client certificate file> command to copy the client certificate from an active supervisor to the standby supervisor.

Step 5

(Optional) Enter destination profile configuration mode and specify the send retry details for the gRPC transport protocol:

1. switch(config-telemetry)# destination-profile

2. switch(conf-tm-dest-profile)# use-retry size buffer_size

A destination profile can configure parameters, for example, the transport retry buffer size specific to all the destinations.

Note

Buffer size is in MB and ranges from 10 to 1500.

Step 6

Create a sensor group with an ID and enter sensor group configuration mode:

switch(conf-tm-dest-profile)# sensor-group id

A sensor group is a collection of one or more sensor paths.

Currently, only numeric sensor group ID values are supported. The sensor group defines nodes that are monitored for telemetry reporting.

Step 7

Add a sensor path to the sensor group:

switch(conf-tm-sensor)# path sensor_path

A sensor_path is where the specific interface statistics and the push queries that are streamed are specified. Multiple sensor paths can be configured in a sensor group. The sensor path for telemetry is path analytics: query_name and for interface statistics streaming, it is path show_stats_fc slot/port .

Note

The syntax of the sensor path is not validated during configuration. Incorrect sensor path may result in data-streaming failure.

Step 8

Create a destination group and enter destination group configuration mode:

switch(conf-tm-sensor)# destination-group id

Currently, destination group ID supports only numeric ID values.

Note

A destination group is a collection of one or more destinations.

Step 9

Create a destination profile for the outgoing data:

switch(conf-tm-dest)# {ip | ipv6} address address port number [protocol procedural-protocol encoding encoding-protocol]

Note

As of Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 8.3(2), gRPC is the only supported transport protocol; GPB and compact GPB are the only supported encoding.

When the destination group is linked to a subscription node, telemetry data is sent to the IP address and port that are specified in the destination profile.

Step 10

Create a subscription node with an ID and enter subscription configuration mode:

switch(conf-tm-dest)# subscription id

A subscription maps a sensor group to a destination group.

Currently, subscription ID supports only numeric ID values.

Step 11

Link the sensor group with an ID to the subscription node and set the data streaming sample interval in milliseconds:

switch(conf-tm-sub)# snsr-grp id sample-interval interval

Note

The minimum streaming sample interval that is recommended is 30000.

Currently, sensor group ID supports only numeric ID values. Specify the streaming sample interval value; the value must be in milliseconds. The minimum streaming sample interval that is supported is 30000 milliseconds. An interval value that is greater than the minimum value creates a frequency-based subscription where the telemetry data is sent periodically at the specified interval.

Step 12

Link the destination group with an ID to this subscription:

switch(conf-tm-sub)# dst-grp id

Currently, destination group ID supports only numeric ID values.

Examples: Configuring SAN Telemetry Streaming

This example displays how to create a subscription that streams data from Fibre Channel interface 3/1 and 4/1 every 30 seconds to IP 1.2.3.4 port 50003 and IP 1:1::1:1 port 50009, and encrypts the stream using GPB encoding that is verified using test.pem:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# telemetry
switch(config-telemetry)# certificate /bootflash/test.pem foo.test.google.fr

switch(conf-tm-telemetry)# destination-group 100
switch(conf-tm-dest)# ip address 1.2.3.4 port 50003 protocol gRPC encoding GPB

switch(conf-tm-dest)# destination-group 1
switch(conf-tm-dest)# ipv6 address 1:1::1:1 port 50009 protocol gRPC encoding GPB-compact

switch(config-dest)# sensor-group 100
switch(conf-tm-sensor)# path show_stats_fc3/1
switch(conf-tm-sensor)# subscription 100
switch(conf-tm-sub)# snsr-grp 100 sample-interval 30000
switch(conf-tm-sub)# dst-grp 100

switch(config-dest)# sensor-group 1
switch(conf-tm-sensor)# path show_stats_fc4/1
switch(conf-tm-sensor)# subscription 1
switch(conf-tm-sub)# snsr-grp 1 sample-interval 30000
switch(conf-tm-sub)# dst-grp 1

This example displays how to create a periodic collection of show command data every 30 seconds and sends it to receivers 1.2.3.4 and 1.1::1.1:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# telemetry

switch(config-telemetry)# destination-group 100
switch(conf-tm-dest)# ip address 1.2.3.4 port 60001 protocol gRPC encoding GPB

switch(conf-tm-sensor)# destination-group 1
switch(conf-tm-dest)# ipv6 address 1:1::1:1 port 60009 protocol gRPC encoding GPB-compact

switch(config-dest)# sensor-group 100
switch(conf-tm-sensor)# subscription 100
switch(conf-tm-sub)# snsr-grp 100 sample-interval 30000
switch(conf-tm-sub)# dst-grp 100

switch(conf-tm-dest)# sensor-group 1
switch(conf-tm-sensor)# subscription 1
switch(conf-tm-dest)# snsr-grp 1 sample-interval 30000
switch(conf-tm-sub)# dst-grp 1

This example displays that a sensor group can contain multiple paths, a destination group can contain multiple destination profiles, and a subscription can be linked to multiple sensor groups and destination groups:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# telemetry

switch(config-telemetry)# sensor-group 100
switch(conf-tm-sensor)# path analytics:init
switch(conf-tm-sensor)# path analytics:initit

switch(config-telemetry)# sensor-group 200
switch(conf-tm-sensor)# path analytics:inititl

switch(conf-tm-sensor)# destination-group 100
switch(conf-tm-dest)# ip address 1.2.3.4 port 50004
switch(conf-tm-dest)# ipv6 address 5:6::7:8 port 50005

switch(conf-tm-dest)# destination-group 200
switch(conf-tm-dest)# ip address 5.6.7.8 port 50001

switch(conf-tm-dest)# subscription 600
switch(conf-tm-sub)# snsr-grp 100 sample-interval 30000
switch(conf-tm-sub)# snsr-grp 200 sample-interval 30000
switch(conf-tm-sub)# dst-grp 100
switch(conf-tm-sub)# dst-grp 200

switch(conf-tm-dest)# subscription 900
switch(conf-tm-sub)# snsr-grp 200 sample-interval 30000
switch(conf-tm-sub)# dst-grp 100

Note

The sensor_path is the location where the specific interface statistics and the push queries that are streamed are specified. Multiple sensor paths can be configured in a sensor group. The sensor path for telemetry streaming is path analytics: query_name , and for interface statistics streaming it is path show_stats_fc slot/port . The query names init, initit, and inititl that are specified in the sensor paths are configured in the SAN Analytics feature. For more information, see Configuring a Push Query.

This example shows a sample configuration of transceiver streaming.

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# telemetry

switch(config-telemetry)# sensor-group 200
switch(conf-tm-sensor)# path transceiver:fc1/1
switch(conf-tm-sensor)# path transceiver:fc13/1-48

Troubleshooting SAN Telemetry Streaming

Use the show tech-support telemetry command to collect telemetry data for troubleshooting. If you find any errors, check Configuring SAN Telemetry Streaming to verify the configuration.

Use the following information to troubleshooting telemetry status:

1. Using the show analytics system-load command, check the NPU load. If the NPU load is high, disable analytics on some ports.

switch# show analytics system-load
n/a - not applicable
----------------------------------- Analytics System Load Info -------------------------------
| Module | NPU Load (in %) | ITLs   ITNs   Both  |        Hosts        |       Targets       |

2. Using the show telemetry control database sensor-groups command, check the command output to verify if the sample interval timer is running. If the timer is not running, check if the timer is configured properly.

switch# show telemetry control database sensor-groups
Sensor Group Database size = 3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Row ID     Sensor Group ID  Sensor Group type  Sampling interval(ms)  Linked subscriptions  SubID
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

collection_id_dropped      = 0
last_collection_id_dropped = 0
drop_count                 = 0

2          1                Timer   /SDB       30000     /Running      1                     1
Collection Time in ms (Cur/Min/Max): 5/4/16
Encoding Time in ms (Cur/Min/Max): 2/2/11
Transport Time in ms (Cur/Min/Max): 644/635/1589

Collection Statistics:
collection_id_dropped      = 0
last_collection_id_dropped = 0
drop_count                 = 0

3. Using the show telemetry data collector details command, check the command output to see if there are errors in collecting data. If you find errors, the sensor_path specified while configuring SAN Telemetry Streaming is incorrect and you must correct the sensor path.

switch# show telemetry data collector details

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Row ID         Successful  Failed Skipped  Sensor Path(GroupId)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1              0            2994     0       analytics:panup(1)
2              2994         0        0       show_stats_fc2/2(1)
3              0            2994     0       analytics:port(1)
4              2994         0        0       show_stats_fc2/6(1)
5              2994         0        0       show_stats_fc2/1(1)

4. Using the show logging logfile | grep -i telemetry command, check for errors in the syslog message:

switch# show logging logfile | grep -i telemetry
2018 Jun 28 16:26:17 switch %TELEMETRY-4-TRANSPORT_SEND_ERROR: GRPC send to 172.20.30.129:60002 failed. (DEADLINE_EXCEEDED(len:2876013))

5. If no issues are found using in step 1, step 2, and step 3, the issue is likely to be with the transport protocol. Using the show telemetry transport 0 errors command, check the command output to see if there are any transport protocol errors.

The following reasons can cause transport protocol errors:

- Configuring an incorrect IP address or port in the destination profile or subscription. Correct the IP address or port in the destination profile or subscription.

- Receiver has not started. Check if the receiver is active and listening to the gRPC port.

- Receiver has started, but is not processing the message. Check the receiver application for errors.

- Problems exists with the management IP. Use the telnet command to test if the IP address and port can be reached.

switch# show telemetry transport 1 errors

Session Id:                    1
