Monitor Performance

Performance monitoring (PM) parameters are used by service providers to gather, store, set thresholds for, and report performance data for early detection of network issues. You can configure and retrieve PM counters for the various controllers in flex-bin, 30-second, 15-minute, or 24-hour intervals. These parameters simplify troubleshooting operations and enhance data that can be collected directly from the equipment.

Monitor Performance

You can set and retrieve PM counters for the OTS, OTS-OCH, OSC, DFB, OCH, and OMS controllers for various intervals.

The OCH and OMS controllers are created when the Mux/Demux panel and breakout panels are powered up using the USB 2.0 connection from the NCS 1010 EITU card. You can only view the current and historical PM parameters for the panels. You cannot configure the PM parameters for these controllers.

This table lists the PM parameters, their descriptions, and precision levels.

Configure and View PM Parameters

You can configure the performance monitoring parameters for the controllers. To configure PM parameters, use the following commands in the configuration mode:

Examples

The following example sets the reporting status to maximum TCA for the eagn parameter of the OTS controller for a 15-minute interval.


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#config
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#controller ots 0/0/0/0 pm 15-min ots report eagn max-tca enable
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#commit
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#end

The following example configures the maximum threshold for the eagn parameter of the OTS controller to 20 dB.

Note

The OTS controller commands accept PM parameter values in two decimal places. In this example, the eagn parameter is entered as 2000 to configure the eagn parameter to 20 dB.

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#config
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#controller ots 0/0/0/0 pm 15-min ots threshold eagn max 2000
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#commit
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios(config)#end

To view the current PM parameters on an OTS controller for a 15-minute interval, use the following command:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#show controllers ots 0/0/0/0 pm current 15-min optics 1

The following output shows the current PM parameters on an OTS controller for a 15-minute interval and highlights the maximum threshold set for the eagn parameter that is configured for 20 dB.
