To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The monitoring-interval timer controls the collection, processing, and archival (optional) of convergence data by RCMD server.

Periodic processing can get triggered if number of events detected exceed configured sizing parameters to prevent loss of data . However, this is not guaranteed since the mechanism is throttled.

To collect logs manually, use the rcmd trigger-data-collect command. Syslogs are generated when high churn is detected and collection mechanism is getting throttled. This indicates possible loss of data for some events. Throttling mechanism is for one processing every minute.

Disable monitoring on specific LCs or racks for better scalability. Disable monitoring on LCs whose update times is not going to impact the core IGP/LDP convergence that RCMD is measuring.

On LCs where monitoring is enabled, the diagnostic mode can be enabled (with threshold value) for triggering script using EEM infra for debug data collection from the router. Use diagnostic mode only for debugging purpose since it is more CPU intensive as compared to normal RCMD monitoring.

Only the following combinations of Rack and Slot are acceptable:

*/*/*
R/*/*
R/S/*

If a wildcard combination for any location is already disabled, then any other combination that overlaps with it would be rejected. For example,

storage-location

To specify where to store the extended routing-diagnostics that are collected when threshold exceeds, use the storage-location command in router-convergence configuration mode. To disable storing routing-diagnostics to a specific location, use the no form of this command.

storage-location [ diagnostics directory-path | diagnostics-size maximum-directory-size | reports directory-path | reports-size maximum-directory-size ]

no storage-location

Syntax Description

diagnostics	Specifies an absolute directory path for storing diagnostic reports.
directory-path	Specifies the path of the absolute directory for storing diagnostic reports.
diagnostics-size	Specifies the maximum size of diagnostics directory.
maximum-directory-size	Specified the size of the diagnostics directory. The range is 5% to 80%.
reports	Specifies an absolute directory path for storing reports.
directory-path	Specifies the path of the absolute directory for storing reports.
reports-size	Specifies the maximum size of the reports directory. The range is 5% to 80%.

Command Default

No default storage location. Mechanism is disabled.

Command Modes

Router-convergence configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
Release 4.2.0	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.

The storage location can be local disk or remote tftp space.

RCMD server can periodically archive reports in XML format for persistency. This mechanism is enabled when archival location is configured. Debug data collected in diagnostics mode is dumped to the configured diagnostic location (else it would get lost). When using local disk, the percentage of disk space to be used can be specified, and RCMD server will delete older reports on reaching the limit. Archival (specifically on local disk) is CPU intensive. Use a remote XML server to periodically collect reports from the router and archive on the server’s local storage.

Task ID

Task ID	Operations
rcmd	read, write

Examples

This example shows how to configure storage location as tftp://202.153.144.25/auto/tftp-chanvija-blr/rcmd/dump/reports for reports and /harddisk:/rcmd_logs for diagnostics:

RP/0/0/CPU0:router#configure
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config)#router-convergence 
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-rcmd)#storage-location 
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-rcmd-store)#diagnostics /harddisk:/rcmd_logs
RP/0/0/CPU0:router(config-rcmd-store)#reports tftp://202.153.144.25/auto/tftp-chanvija-blr/rcmd/dump/reports
