68.1 Performance statistics collection overview
Performance statistics provide information about physical equipment, routing, and
other NE properties for monitoring and troubleshooting purposes. See the
appendices for a complete list of the performance statistics that are available to the
5620 SAM.
Performance statistics collection is enabled using a MIB statistics collection policy
and associating the policy with one or more NEs or specific objects within the NEs,
for example, ports. For greater efficiency and collection granularity, the following
types of MIB statistics policies are available:
• NE MIB statistics policies—define collection at the NE level
An NE MIB statistics policy contains a list of the MIB entry policies that are
invoked for all objects on the NE.
• specific MIB statistics policies—define collection at the object level
A specific MIB statistics policy contains the same list of MIB entry policies as an
NE MIB statistics policy, but the MIB entry policies are applied only to the
objects specified in the specific MIB statistics policy. A specific MIB statistics
policy uses the concept of a monitored class, which is the type of object on which
to collect statistics, for example, a port or service site. The monitored object
instances must be specified in the specific MIB statistics policy. For example, if
port is selected as the monitored object, then the actual ports in the network to
which the policy applies must be specified, and become part of the policy.
Before the 5620 SAM performs a statistics collection based on a MIB statistics
policy, it checks for duplicate collection requests, such as when the same object is
included in an NE MIB policy and a specific MIB policy. If a duplicate is found, the
5620 SAM performs the collection on the object based on the specific policy rather
than on the NE policy.
For performance reasons, Alcatel-Lucent recommends using NE MIB policies to
collect statistics from all instances of an object on an NE, and specific policies to
enable or disable collection for specific NE objects. This is a much more efficient use
of NE resources than using a specific policy in which each object instance is
specified. For example, you can configure an NE MIB policy to collect OSPF routing
statistics on all the routing instances of the NE, and use a specific MIB policy to
collect statistics on a subset of the routing instances.
Specific and NE MIB policies can operate together to streamline statistics collection.
For example, to collect network port statistics at 5-min intervals and access port
statistics at 15-min intervals, you can create an NE MIB policy for all ports with a
15-min collection interval and create a specific policy for network ports with a 5-min
collection interval. At every third interval, when the two policy activations coincide,
the NE policy is used and duplicate collection is prevented.
Specific MIB policy settings override NE MIB policy settings. Table 68-1
summarizes the specific policy overrides for an object.
