Ssm

The following scenario shows how to configure different SSM (System Service Monitoring) operations. SSM operations can be used to monitor several system states (e.g., CPU, memory, storage and temperature), activating or deactivating previously defined alarms when the monitored states reach certain threshold values.

Monitoring Storage

Description

In this scenario an SSM operation is configured in DUT0 to monitor the storage state of the system and activate or deactivate an alarm when said state reaches a defined threshold value. First, the alarm is activated when a new file is downloaded. Then the alarm is deactivated when the downloaded file is deleted.

Scenario

Step 1: Run command show system storage at DUT0 and expect this output:

Show output
Total: 8144384
Free:  7854848
Used:  289536

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set service ssm log-level notice
set service ssm operation OPER_STO interval 0.05
set service ssm operation OPER_STO description 'OPER_STO operation description'
set service ssm operation OPER_STO type storage
set service ssm operation OPER_STO alarm ALARM_STO activate value 581376
set service ssm operation OPER_STO alarm ALARM_STO deactivate value 493824.0
set system alarm ALARM_STO

Note

To emulate an increase in storage usage, a file with a known size could be downloaded. To activate the alarm with this increase in storage used, the alarm activation threshold must be adjusted with the value resulting from adding the current used storage and the size of the new file to be downloaded. In this example, the value set as the activation threshold is 581376K, since the value of the current used storage is 289536K and the size of the new file to be downloaded is 291840K. Also, to emulate a decrease in storage used, the previously downloaded file could be deleted. To deactivate the alarm with this decrease in storage used, the alarm deactivation threshold must be adjusted with the value of the storage used before downloading the new file. In this example, the value set as the deactivation threshold is 493824.0K.

Step 3: Run command service ssm operation show at DUT0 and check if output contains the following tokens:

OPER_STO
Show output
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operation   Type    Last-Value    Alarm    Activate   Deactivate  Status  Toggled  Prev-toggled
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPER_STO   storage   289536.00  ALARM_STO  581376.00   493824.00  false

Step 4: Run command system alarm ALARM_STO show at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

(ALARM_STO)\s+(false)
Show output
-------------------------------------------------------------------
  Alarm    Status  Toggled  Prev-toggled  Toggle-count  Time up (%)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
ALARM_STO  false                                     0         0.00

Step 5: Run command service ssm operation OPER_STO show at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

(OPER_STO)\s+(storage)[\s\d.]+(ALARM_STO)[\s\d.]+(false)
Show output
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operation   Type    Last-Value    Alarm    Activate   Deactivate  Status  Toggled  Prev-toggled
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPER_STO   storage   289536.00  ALARM_STO  581376.00   493824.00  false

Step 6: Run command service ssm operation show at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

(OPER_STO)\s+(storage)[\s\d.]+(ALARM_STO)[\s\d.]+(false)
Show output
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operation   Type    Last-Value    Alarm    Activate   Deactivate  Status  Toggled  Prev-toggled
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPER_STO   storage   289536.00  ALARM_STO  581376.00   493824.00  false

Note

The previous command output should show that the operation has been created successfully and that the alarm is desactivated, since the storage used has not yet increased.

Step 7: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.215.168.64/24

Step 8: Ping IP address 10.215.168.1 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 10.215.168.1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1
Show output
PING 10.215.168.1 (10.215.168.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.215.168.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.236 ms

1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.236/0.236/0.236/0.000 ms

Step 9: Run command file copy http://10.215.168.1/~robot/os_iso_v3.3.1.2.iso running:// force at DUT0 and expect this output:

Show output

Step 10: Run command file show running:// at DUT0 and check if output contains the following tokens:
