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.
Before uploading performance statistics files to a PM server, configure the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) server functionality on the PM server, and ensure that the device on which the performance statistics are collected has been connected to the PM server.
Perform the following steps on the device:
The system view is displayed.
The PM view is displayed.
A process serving the PM server is created, and the PM server view is displayed.
To configure the protocol and IP address 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.
Using FTP to upload performance statistics files is not secure. Therefore, using SFTP is recommended.
If the IP address of the PM server is a private address, use net-manager-vpn to specify a network management VPN for performance statistics file uploading or use vpn-instance vpn-instance-name to specify a VPN instance for performance statistics file uploading.
To configure the number of retransmissions for a performance statistics file, run the retry retry-times command.
Return to the PM view.
A request for uploading performance statistics files to a specified PM server is created.
The performance statistics task view is displayed.
The device is enabled to automatically upload performance statistics files to the PM server.
To enable the device to automatically upload performance statistics files to the PM server at performance statistics file generation intervals, perform this configuration.
The configuration is committed.
Run the upload request-name file filename &<1-16> command to enable the device to upload performance statistics files to the PM server.
