Data Collection

NVIDIA® UFM® Telemetry uses the configuration file launch_ibdiagnet_config.ini to control the process of collecting the data. It collects two types of data: Cable info and port counters.

Port counters are collected periodically by setting the parameter sample_rate in seconds.

By default cable info data will not be collected. To enable its collection, add the following flag:

plugin_env_CLX_EXPORT_API_DISABLE_CABLEINFO=0

When enabled, cable info data is collected, by default, on every run. It is possible to change the collection frequency to be once every num_iterations using the following setting:

plugin_env_CLX_EXPORT_API_CABLE_RUN_ONCE=1

To work with the collected data, you may use the Telemetry CLI, which can be accessed as follows:

Copy
Copied!
            

./bin/clxcli CollectX: set_data_root /tmp/clx_data CollectX: set_data_template {{year}}/{{month}}{{day}}/{{hash1023}}/{{source}}/{{tag}}{{id}}.bin

Cable info data is collected based on a weekly schedule, set with the parameter cable_info_schedule. Time parameter is in the format "day/hrs:mins". For daily collection, it is "hrs:mins".

It is possible to collect the data multiple times during the week. To do that use a comma to separate the times at which collection is to take place. For example,

  • cable_info_schedule= 5/00:00 – collects cable info data on 5th day of the week at midnight

  • cable_info_schedule= 12:00 – collects cable info data midnight at 12:00 every day

  • cable_info_schedule= 5/00:00,12:00 – combines the previous two examples

To work with the collected data, you may use the Telemetry CLI, which can be accessed as follows:

The main commands to query and retrieve cable info data are cable_times and cable_info.

  • cables_times – dump times and file names of cable info data files, and you can redirect the output to a file

  • cable_info – dump cable info for a given date or range of dates

The following presents the help menu of the cable_time command:
