2. Configuring NMS ECAP servers generate SNMP traps to capture platform alarms The MIBs required for platform traps are pre existing the snmpAgent used for platform alarms is activated during ECAP installation and most of the hardware checks that would result in traps are defaulted to enabled However the Integrated Accounting Feed application also requires enabling the following e Breaker Panel Power System traps on servers 1A and 1B applicable on T1100 servers only e Platform process traps if more or less than one instance of MeasServer TimeServer sentryd or Logd are found e Network ping traps if the Data Collection File Transfer Sync RMM or Maintenance Interfaces see ECAP Network Interfaces on the T1100 Server and ECAP Network Interfaces on the T1200 Server are down IP Bonding traps if the File Transfer or Maintenance Interfaces see ECAP Network Interfaces on the T1100 Server and ECAP Network Interfaces on the T1200 Server are down e Disk capacity usage alarms if the ECAP storage volume usage exceeds 80 or 90 of total capacity These traps are enabled by configuring the NMS IP address for the location where the traps will be destined NMS configuration tasks involve configuring both the actual system used to monitor alarms and configuring the ECAP server to send alarms to the NMS Configuring the NMS used to monitor alarms involves customer specific tasks At a minimum these parameters must be configured
3. Note e SCCP pcs will be represented by the NULL string in the CSV measurement files if they match with the MTP PC If the SCCP OPC matches with the MTP OPC this will be represented by NULL in the CSV file Similarly if SCCP DPC matches with MTP DPC this will be represented by NULL in the CSV file e The optional fields link_id ni_str incoming_linkset_name and outgoing_linkset_name have a fixed position in the CSV record whether the field is currently enabled or disabled If an optional field is disabled it will not display in the CSV file This field will appear in each record as an empty comma a comma with nothing after it Compressing Measurement Data Files To reduce the disk storage requirements for measurement data files the files can be compressed using the Measurement File Compression Required option in ecapcfg When enabled files will be compressed before they are transferred to the Aggregator By default files are not compressed Compression will be done using the Linux command gzip After a compressed measurement data file is transfered to the Aggregator it must be unzipped and converted into a readable format using the Linux command gunzip For more details on the gzip and gunzip Linux commands refer to gzip org 1 Log into the ECAP server as the ecapadm user 910 5784 001 Revision B December 2009 76 Feature Manual ECAP MSU to XML Field Mapping Use the ecapcfg command to open the ECAP Configu
