Cisco Billing and Measurements Server User's Guide, Release 3.13

Troubleshooting Cisco BAMS

Introduction

This appendix provides a discussion of system tasks and messages generated by the Cisco Billing and Measurements Server (BAMS) and their use in troubleshooting. These messages, which can be categorized as alarms or events, are generated by the different software tasks running on BAMS. This appendix also provides information on the file-naming conventions used for files collected or processed by BAMS.

BAMS traps alarms and minor, major, and critical events, and forwards them to the operations management system (OMS).

BAMS writes alarms only to the alarm history file. When an alarm is cleared, its entry is deleted from that file.

Alarms and minor, major, or critical event messages to be forwarded to a message queue and trapped are defined with the Alarm Parameters table (ALM-PARMS tag ID), with the msgfwdlevel field (see the "ALM-PARMS Tag ID" section on page 5-2 for details).

Note All task messages are written to the system log (syslog) file. We recommend that the operations support personnel monitor the syslog file on a regular basis and note alarms and events that require troubleshooting. The bootstrap function can facilitate this task.

Note The following alarms are cleared when the alarm condition is removed: CRD502, MGR801, MSC030, MSC031, MSC032, MSC040, MSC041, MSC042, MSC130, MSC131, MSC132, MSC140, MSC141, MSC142, POL327, POL361, POL401, POL402, and POL115.

System Tasks

BAMS functions are governed by system tasks. Table A-1 displays BAMS non-SNMP tasks, and Table A-2 displays BAMS SNMP tasks. For information about the messages produced by these system tasks, see the "Generic Messages" section.

Procedure to Recover from Active/Active Polling State

The normal state of the redundant BAMS is active/standby, where one unit is actively polling the Cisco MGC and the other unit is in a standby mode. Under certain error conditions, the BAMS unit can enter an active/active polling state. The following procedure explains how to recover from the undesired active/active polling state.

The polling software was designed so the worst-case scenario would be a standby/standby state, because in this state neither BAMS unit is polling and data is accumulating on the VSC. In safeguarding the system so a standby/standby state would not occur, certain race conditions (where a possible standby/standby state might occur) have been taken care of by defaulting to an active/active polling state. There are few cases in which this would happen, but defaulting to an active/active polling state is a safe method of avoiding any critical problems.

The active/active polling state is not a critical state because in this mode, the BAMS unit that has the correct sequence numbers can continue polling, and the other BAMS unit, although in an active state, cannot poll the files that the first BAMS has already polled. Also, the processing would not be interrupted because the BAMS unit that can poll forwards the data to the other BAMS unit for redundant processing.

To reset the system to a normal active/standby state, you must update the system that is not polling and has the incorrect sequence numbers. Updating can be accomplished by executing a rotation (sw-ovr) from active to standby on the BAMS unit that has the correct sequence numbers; that is, the unit that is actually polling files. The rotation from active to standby causes this BAMS unit to go to standby, and the other BAMS unit that was active but was not able to poll is updated with the correct polling sequence numbers. Once the sw-ovr is executed, the active unit can poll the VSC successfully, and a normal active/standby state results.

File-Naming Conventions

For consistency, the application requires that the data sources follow certain file-naming conventions. The convention is to use a unique prefix per file format, followed by a time stamp that indicates when the file was created or generated on the data source, and a file sequence number.

Input and Output File-Naming Conventions

The following file-naming conventions are used for BAMS input and output files.

ASCII BAF Output

The file-naming convention for data collected from the Cisco MGC and converted into ASCII BAF record format is as follows:

baf_<raw file prefix>_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_SeqNo.csv

Table A-3 explains each element of the filename. Note the use of the underscore.

BAF Output

The file-naming convention for BAF billing record files is as follows:

baf_<raw file prefix>_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_SeqNo.bin

Table A-4 explains each element of the filename. Note the use of the underscore.

Investigating BAMS CDR Output Records

To investigate BAMS billing output records, start by retrieving the archived PGW CDR records, which are located in the node TLV directory. The TLV directory contains most of the information that populates the BAMS output. It is important to notice that the sequence number of the file in the TLV directory may not directly correspond to the sequence number of the BAMS output file. Furthermore, the sequence of individual records recorded in the BAMS file may not be identical to the sequence of records recorded in the TLV file.

BIN1110 Output

The file-naming convention for data collected from the Cisco MGC and converted into 1110 Binary record format is as follows:

cdr_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_SeqNo.BIN

Table A-5 explains each element of the filename. Note the use of the underscore.

Extendable ASCII Output

The file-naming convention for data collected from the Cisco MGC and converted into extendable ASCII record format is as follows:

extasc_<raw file prefix>_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_SeqNo.csv

Table A-6 explains each element of the filename. Note the use of the underscore.

Input CDR Files

The file-naming convention for data collected from the Cisco MGC is as follows:

prefix_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_SeqNo.bin

Table A-7 explains each element of the filename. Note the use of the underscore.

Note After the file is polled from the Cisco MGC, FMT (the first BAMS processing task) renames it according to the GMT timestamp inside the file (CDB tag 4001 of the file header record). For this reason there may be a slight discrepancy between the original timestamp in the filename and the timestamp in the BAMS filename. All BAMS tasks that process the file after this point use the GMT-based filename.

MGC End of Call 1110 ASCII Output

The file-naming convention for data collected from the Cisco MGC and converted into ASCII 1110 record format is as follows:

prefix_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_SeqNo.csv

Table A-8 explains each element of the filename. Note the use of the underscore.

NICS Output

The file-naming convention for data collected from the Cisco MGC and converted into NICS record format is as follows:

CDR.<switch_name>.<SeqNo>.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS

Table A-9 explains each element of the filename. Note the use of the underscore.

P01 Output

The file-naming convention for data collected from the Cisco MGC and converted into the P01 record format is as follows:

p01_<raw file prefix>_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS_SeqNo.bin

Table A-10 explains each element of the filename. Note the use of the underscore.

Task Log Files

Log files are used to save debug or status information for a particular task. These files are saved to the /opt/CiscoBAMS/files/s01-s08 individual node directories. Here is the filename format:

task-identifier.log

Table A-11 explains each element of the filename. Note the use of the underscore.

Task Configuration Files

Task configuration files pass all the necessary command-line switches that are needed by the MGR task to properly execute a particular task. These files are stored in the /opt/CiscoBAMS/files/s01-s08 individual node directories. Here is the filename format:

task_identifier{task_instance}_cfg

Table A-12 explains each element of the filename. Note the use of the underscore.

Task Parameter Files

Task parameter files contain parameter definitions for a particular task. These files are stored in the /opt/CiscoBAMS/files directory. These files are in ASCII format. The filenames used are shown in Table A-13. Here is the filename format:

task_identifier{task_instance}.cfg

System Log File (syslog)

BAMS stores system activity in the system log file (syslog) in the format explained in Table A-14. Located in the /CiscoBAMS/files directory, the syslog is composed of individual log entries that follow this format example: MM/DD/YY hh:mm:ss severity message ID: +message text.

Log File History

The syslog file holds a user-specified number of messages. When the syslog file's maximum file size is reached, BAMS changes the name of the syslog file to oldlog and creates a new syslog file.

While only one syslog file can exist at a time, BAMS can retain multiple oldlog files. BAMS creates additional oldlog files in the same manner that it creates syslog files. If an oldlog file exists when it is time to create a syslog, BAMS renames the oldlog file to oldloga. If more than two oldlog files exist, BAMS uses the letters b, c, d, and so on to identify the oldest oldlog file. (For example, oldlogd is older than oldlogc.)

Message Description

The following categories of information are provided for each system message:

•Message ID

•Text

•Arguments

•Description

•Action

Message ID

The message ID is a six-character label (three characters followed by three digits) that uniquely identifies each message. The first three characters are the task ID, which identifies the task that generated the message (for example, MGR denotes the Manager task and MSC denotes the Mass Storage Control task). The three digits represent the message number (for example, 013 or 123).

Note In the task message section below, minor, major, critical, and warning alarms are preceded by a one- or two-character signifier (* = minor, ** = major, *C = critical, and W = Warning) before the message ID. In some cases, such as for MSC alarms, a message may be generated as minor, major, or critical, depending on the system state. In such cases, the range of levels is represented between parentheses:
(*, **, *C). While informational messages are preceded by two blank spaces in the syslog, they are not preceded by any characters in the task message section.

Text

The text is the verbal part of the message as it appears on your screen or in the system log file.

Arguments

Arguments are variable parts of the message (message arguments) and are enclosed in angle brackets (< >). Explanations of arguments are provided.

Description

The message description explains the event(s) that generated the message.

Action

The action describes what you should do as a result of the event described in the message. In some cases (for example, informational messages), no action might be required. Actions for error messages (manual, warning, minor, major, and critical) might include steps that should be followed so that you can identify and correct problems. Error actions can also describe how BAMS responds to the specified error condition.

Alarm Task Messages

The Alarm (ALM) task handles all alarm and event messages that are written to the system log. This includes clearable alarms that are based on user-defined thresholds and are written to an alarm history file.

ALM120 Alarm parameters have been updated

This message indicates that alarm parameters have been updated. This is an informational message. No action is necessary.

Generic Messages

The MGR task controls BAMS operations and uses what is called generic messaging. This means that message numbers can be used by more than one software task (ACC001 and MGR001, for example). The text of the message is always the same, although the arguments, if any, might be different. The system messages are numbered from 000 through 399 (not all numbers are used).

Note All system messages start with a date and time stamp (not shown below). The standard three-character task identifier is denoted by XXX in the generic messages that follow.

Mass Storage Control Task Messages

The Mass Storage Control (MSC) task monitors and conserves disk space on the BAMS units. It generates alarms when disk occupancy passes user-defined thresholds based on file prefixes found in specified data directories, and deletes files to free disk space.

Polled files are files that have been polled by a polling computer. Unpolled files are files that have not been polled yet. The MSC task can be set up to delete polled files when the percentage of disk space occupied by these files exceeds the user-defined thresholds. For example, if the polled upper threshold is set at 80 percent of disk occupancy and the lower polled threshold is set at 60 percent, the MSC task begins deleting polled files from oldest to newest when the total polled file size exceeds the 80 percent upper threshold. It stops deleting these files when it falls below the lower threshold. The unpolled threshold value is usually set high, for example, 90 percent, to avoid losing unpolled data. An alarm is generated to alert the user that the disk is filling up.

During processing, this task writes messages to the syslog with an MSC task identifier (for example, MSC001).

MSC001 MSC version <version> cleaning disk

The <version> argument represents the version number of the MSC task. The MSC task periodically deletes user-specified files from the disk at user-defined intervals so that the disk does not fill up and cause system failure.
