Configuring Automatic Data Collection
Automatic data collection is enabled by an OSM Service Connection system-level
action (Enable/Disable Automation of Data Collection), and is configured through a
combination of OSMCONF file settings and Service Connection actions. You can copy
the following settings from the OSMINI file included with T0682 AAC (or later) into your
existing OSMCONF file. (To create an OSMCONF file from the OSMINI, or to put OSM
configuration file changes into effect when OSM processes are already running, see
Creating and Using an OSMCONF File.)
The following data collection configuration is now done through OSM Service
Connection actions (under the System object) rather than OSMCONF file settings:
Set Data Collection Volume – specifies a volume in which to collect diagnostic
data. The default volume is $SYSTEM.
Set Days to persist for Diagnostic Data – specifies how long the data files remain in
the collection volume before they are automatically deleted (default is 28 days).
The current automatic data collection settings are displayed as System object
attributes, under the “Data Collection Services” heading (on the Attributes tab):
Automatic Data Collection State (Enabled or Disabled)
Diagnostic Data Collection Volume
Days to Persist Collected Diagnostic Data
There is also an OSM Service Connection action, called Collect Diagnostic Data, to
manually collect data. The actions to specify the data collection volume and file
persistence also apply to diagnostic data collected by this manual action.
ADC-related
OSMCONF Parameters Purpose/Effect
Possible
Values Default
AdcDelayTimeInMin
Delay time (in minutes) between the time that
the initial Problem IR is received and data
collection begins. The purpose is to conduct a
single data collection for all related Problem IRs.
5 to 60 15
AdcEventTimeinHrs
Time (in hours), prior to when the Problem IR is
generated, that the data collection will collect
EMS events from $ZLOG and $0.
1 to 60 12
EnableNDData
Enables ability to send a Diagnostic Data IR to
the OSM Notification Director. (Not visible in
OSM ND version T0632 AAK; however,
Problem IRs also provide the location of
collected data files in ZZAA alarm details.)
ON/OFF ON
AdcFilColTimeinMin
Specifies the time period (in minutes), after the
initial Problem IR is created, that ZZAA and
ZZPS files will be collected.
5 to 120 5
Note. Previous OSMCONF settings to ENABLE_ADC, specify ADC_PAKVOL, or
ADC_PAK_RETAINDAYS have no effect and should be removed from your OSMCONF.
