Cisco IOS XE Release 3.8S	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 3.8S.

Usage Guidelines

You can enable or disable a Bulkstat profile for collection and transfer by doing one of the following:

Using the enable or no enable command in Bulkstat profile configuration mode.
Using a profile action.
Using calendar scheduling.
Using the EXEC command.

Remember the following when enabling a profile:

If a Bulkstat profile is enabled using the enable command and by using option 2, 3 or 4, it will not be displayed in the running-config file by the process of nonvolatile generation (NVGEN).
If multiple enabling is done through any of the options above, the last enabling will be considered as the final option. For example, if a Bulkstat profile is enabled through option 1 and again through option 4, then the command will not be NVGENed. But, if the profile is enabled through option 4 and again through option 1, the command will be NVGENed.
No matter which way the profile is enabled, disabling by any option will disable the profile.

When Bulkstat profile collection is disabled with the no enable command, the polling operation for all data groups will be stopped. All stateful data information, including collection options and process, threshold, and collected nontransferred data will be purged. All retained files will be deleted and transfer operations will be stopped.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable a Bulkstat profile for collection and transfer:

Device> enable
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# bulkstat profile ifstats
Device(config-bs-profile)# enable
