(Optional) Uploading Performance Statistics Files

Context

The system generates performance statistics files based on the collected performance statistics at a specified interval. To view the performance statistics on a performance management (PM) server, upload performance statistics files to the PM server.

The system uses FTP or SFTP to upload statistics files to a PM server. Statistics files can be uploaded in either of the following modes:

Active mode: The system periodically generates statistics files and automatically uploads the files to the PM server.
Passive mode: The system periodically generates statistics files. When the system receives a file uploading instruction from the network management system or a file uploading command is executed, the system uploads the statistics files to the PM server.

If the performance statistics collection task is busy writing collected statistics into a file, you may need to wait for a while before performance management configurations are successfully delivered. In this situation, a message is displayed indicating that the performance statistics collection task is busy.

Procedure

Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run pm
The PM view is displayed.
Run pm-server server-name
A process serving the PM server is created, and the PM server view is displayed.
Run the following commands to configure parameters of the PM server to which a performance statistics file will be uploaded.
- To configure the protocol, IP address, and port number to upload a performance statistics file to the PM server, run the protocol { ftp | sftp } ip-address ip-address [ port port-number | { net-manager-vpn | vpn-instance vpn-instance-name } ] ^* command.
  
  By default, the PM server port number is 21 (using FTP) or 22 (using SFTP).
  
  Using FTP to upload performance statistics files is insecure. Therefore, using SFTP is recommended.
- To configure a user name and password for logging in to the PM server, run the username user-name password password command.
- To specify the path to save performance statistics file on the PM server, run the path destination-path command.
  
  By default, performance statistics files are uploaded to the default path on a PM server.
- To configure the number of retransmissions for a performance statistics file, run the retry retry-times command.
  
  The default number of retransmissions is 3.
Run quit
Return to the PM view.
Run upload-config request-name server server-name
A request for uploading performance statistics files to a specified PM server is created.
Upload statistics files to a PM server.
- Configure the device to automatically upload statistics files.
  1. Run statistics-task task-name
    
    The performance statistics task view is displayed.
  2. Run upload auto request-name
    
    The device is enabled to automatically upload performance statistics files to the PM server.
- Manually upload statistics files.
  1. (Optional) Run display pm statistics-file [ task-name ]
    
    The performance statistics file list is displayed.
  2. Run upload request-name file filename &<1-16>
