Command History

Modification

15.1(3)T

This command was introduced.

12.2(58)SE

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE.


Usage Guidelines

For existing Performance Monitor profiles, the minimum value of the timeout allowed will depend on the sampling-interval configured in profile. If default perf-monitor profile is used then default value of sampling-interval is 30 second so minimum timeout value is 60 seconds.

The following examples show some ways you can use the mediatrace poll command to perform an on-demand fetch of data from the hops on a specific path:

•To retrieve data using a pre-configured session. In this case, no other parameters have to be specified inline. The pre-configured session must be have the frequency type set to on-demand.

•To retrieve the system data, hop or video monitoring information from hops along the specified path. You can specify the path as a pre-configured path-specifier or an inline path specification, in case you do not have config mode privileges. Note that by default, Cisco Mediatrace tries to configure nodes along the path to report passive monitoring metrics, and then waits for a configurable amount of time before going out again to collect the data.

•The configless keyword can be used to fetch data from the nodes along a media path, which already have Performance Monitor policies configured using the Performance Monitor commands. Some key things to keep in mind when fetching data using this method are that:

–The default perf-monitor profile or associated perf-monitor profile will have a sampling interval. If the sampling interval of the static policy does not match the one in the associated perf-monitor profile, no data is returned.

–If there is no Performance Monitor policy configured on a Responder node, the Cisco Mediatrace Responder does not try to configure Performance Monitor and simply reports error to the Mediatrace Initiator.

If Cisco Mediatrace is not collecting all of the data that you want:

•Use the show mediatrace session command to verify that the intended values are set for the parameters for a specific session or all sessions.

•Use the show mediatrace responder app-health command and the show mediatrace responder sessions command to determine the status of the nodes being monitored.

•Use the debug mediatrace command to view error messages.

Examples


Note For examples of poll output, see the end of this section.


The following example shows how to fetch the default system metrics when the source IP address, source port, and destination port are not known. Cisco Mediatrace uses the best local IP address as source IP address to find which hops are using RSVP.

mediatrace poll path dest ip-address system

mediatrace poll path source ip-address dest ip-address system

The following example shows how to fetch the default system metrics when the source and destination port numbers are known. RSVP finds the hop using this information.

mediatrace poll path source ip-address port number destination ip-address port number ip-protocol udp system

The following example shows how to fetch the default set of RTP metrics. Cisco Mediatrace uses the path parameters to discover hops and uses the inline flow specifier profile as a filter for Performance Monitor data.

mediatrace poll path source ip-address dest ip-address perf-monitor source-ip ip-address source-port number dest-ip ip-address dest-port number ip-protocol udp

The following example shows how to fetch the default set of TCP metrics. Cisco Mediatrace uses the path parameters to discover hops and uses the inline flow-specifier profile as a filter for Performance Monitor data.

mediatrace poll path source ip-address dest ip-address perf-monitor source-ip ip-address source-port number dest-ip ip-address dest-port number ip-protocol tcp

The following example shows how to fetch the default set of RTP metrics. Cisco Mediatrace uses the best local IP address as source IP address for finding hops on the path and uses the inline flow specifier profile as a filter for Performance Monitor data.

mediatrace poll path dest ip-address perf-monitor source-ip ip-address source-port number dest-ip ip-address dest-port number ip-protocol udp

The following example shows how to fetch the default set of TCP metrics. Cisco Mediatrace uses the best local IP address as source IP address for finding hops on the path and uses the inline flow-specifier profile as a filter for Performance Monitor data.

mediatrace poll path dest ip-address perf-monitor source-ip ip-address source-port number dest-ip ip-address dest-port number ip-protocol tcp

The following example shows how to fetch the default set of RTP metrics from an existing static policy configured on the Responders. This command does not configure the Performance Monitor, so for more information, see Configuring Performance Monitor. Cisco Mediatrace uses the path parameters to discover hops and use the inline flow specifier profile as a filter for Performance Monitor data.
