Export Probe Stats

This scenario shows how to configure Network Service Monitor (NSM) operations to share probe statistics through syslog messages.

Test Export Probe Statistics

Description

NSM operations are configured to export probe statistics through syslog messages and sent to a local file. The UDP NSM responder service is configured in DUT1.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT1:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.215.200.100/24
set service nsm responder type udp port 60000
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.215.200.50/24
set service nsm operation A destination-address 10.215.200.100
set service nsm operation A destination-port 60000
set service nsm operation A interval 0.05
set service nsm operation A local-address 10.215.200.50
set service nsm operation A local-interface eth0
set service nsm operation A logging log-interval 0.5
set service nsm operation A logging log-level info
set service nsm operation A type udp
set service nsm operation A window 100
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'
set system syslog file TEST filter FILTER app nsmd
set system syslog file TEST filter FILTER level all

Step 3: Run command file show running://log/user/TEST/TEST at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

(?m)^.+nsmd.+Jitter.+PacketLoss.+RTT.+$

Show output

Note

The previous command output should show that probe statistics are being exported through syslog messages.

Test Export Probe Statistics FQDN

Description

As same as the previous scenario, but the FQDN of DUT1 is used instead of its IP address.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT1:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.215.200.100/24
set service nsm responder type udp port 60000
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.215.200.50/24
set service dns static host-name testnsm alias test.nsm.fqdn
set service dns static host-name testnsm inet 10.215.200.100
set service nsm operation A destination-address test.nsm.fqdn
set service nsm operation A destination-port 60000
set service nsm operation A interval 0.05
set service nsm operation A local-address 10.215.200.50
set service nsm operation A local-interface eth0
set service nsm operation A logging log-interval 0.5
set service nsm operation A logging log-level info
set service nsm operation A type udp
set service nsm operation A window 100
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'
set system syslog file TEST filter FILTER app nsmd
set system syslog file TEST filter FILTER level all

Step 3: Run command file show running://log/user/TEST/TEST at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

(?m)^.+nsmd.+test.nsm.fqdn.+Jitter.+PacketLoss.+RTT.+$

Show output

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.215.168.64/24
set service nsm operation A destination-address 10.215.168.128
set service nsm operation A destination-port 60000
set service nsm operation A interval 0.05
set service nsm operation A local-address 10.215.168.64
set service nsm operation A local-interface eth0
set service nsm operation A logging log-interval 0.5
set service nsm operation A logging log-level info
set service nsm operation A type udp
set service nsm operation A window 100
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

set system syslog host 10.215.168.1 tls permitted-peer rsyslog.server.com

Note

Check the server /var/log/10.215.168.64/.log file and search for the (?m)^.+nsmd.+Jitter.+PacketLoss.+RTT.+$ log message:
