15-minute PM history via TL1

[melon_2]

I would like to be able to retrieve previous 15-minute counters via TL1 so that I don't have to log into CTC for every intermittent problem I have. The only document I can find is: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/optical/ps2006/products_command_reference_chapter09186a00800ea6ad.html#xtocid103

This doesn't explain how to do it. Does anyone know?

Depending on which release you are using, this is quite feasible. Command is RTRV-PM and the and parameter let you pull specific buckets:

date is the beginning date of the PM or storage register period specified in "tmper". The format of "mondat" is "MM-DD", where MM (month of year) ranges from 1 to 12 and DD (day of month) ranges from 1 to 31. date is a Date. A null value defaults to "Current Date".

time is the beginning time of day of the PM or storage register period specified in "tmper". The format for "montm" is HH-MM, where HH (hour of day) ranges from 0 to 23 and MM (minute of hour) ranges from 0-59. time is a Time. A null value defaults to "Current Time".

Thanks,

David

I am still unable to retrieve historical PM data. Here is what the above referenced document says:

[quote]RTRV-PM-:[]::::,,[] ,,[];

where:

* is the access identifier. All the STS, VT1_5, FACILITY and DS1 AIDs are supported; is from the "ALL" section and must not be null

* indicates the location; valid values for are shown in the "LOCATION" section

* indicates the accumulation time period for the PM information; valid values for are shown in the "TMPER" section[/quote]

Also,

[quote]4.3.75 TMPER

Performance parameter.

Table 4-95: TMPER Values

TMPER Values Description

15-MIN

Performance Parameter Accumulation Interval Length - Every 15 Minutes.

1-DAY

Performance Parameter Accumulation Interval Length - Every 24 Hours.[/quote]

The TMPER is not the time that you want performance monitoring from, it is the amount of time (15min or 1day) you want data from, as in "RTRV-PM-T1:TID:FAC-2-1:123::,,NEND,,15-MIN;", and the document is incorrect because the 454 actually won't take a dash in the TMPER.

I have been unsuccessful with the following formats:

rtrv-pm-oc48:tid:fac-6-1:ctag::,,,,1day,,,06-03;

rtrv-pm-oc48:tid:fac-6-1:ctag::,,,,1day,,06-03;

rtrv-pm-oc48:tid:fac-6-1:ctag::,,,,1day,06-03;

Could someone from Cisco please tell me how historical PM data retrieval is done via TL1?

Fujitsu: rtrv-pm-aidtype:tid:aid:ctag::,,nend,rcv,1-day,,,1; (would get previous day's PM data...0 through 32 on a 15-min counter would get you anywhere between the current and up to 8 hours ago)

[dafried · Accepted solution]

Somewhat depends on which version of the product you are running. We have not always had access to historical PMs via TL1. We do now (R3.1 and beyond certainly).

RTRV-PM-OC48:TID:FAC-6-1:CTAG::CVL,10-UP,NEND,BTH,15-MIN,04-11,12-45;

Good luck,

David

OK, that makes sense, since we run 2.2 and 2.3 mostly, with a few 3.x NEs on the network. Thanks.
