RE: min/max/avg sampling period

2010-10-29T05:56:32Z

Hello, I've got a question regarding the min/max/avg computation in all stats (equipmentIOCardStats for example) : What is the sampling period used to compute these values ? How often these values are computed ? Is it based on a sliding window ? If so what is its width ? Should be use the "intervals" attribute ? If so, how ? Thanks Seb UCS Manager has Stats Collection policies, user can change these. A system-wide set of stats collection policies (one per application domain) allow configuration of collection and reporting intervals. Domains: adapter, chassis, host, port, server collectionInterval: frequency that endpoints will send stats updates to UCS Manager reportingInterval: frequency that UCS Manager will report stats updates to external collectors and update stats history When a collection interval is changed, the reportingInterval is restarted [img]file:///Users/randerss/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot.png[/img][img]file:///Users/randerss/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot-1.png[/img][img]file:///Users/randerss/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot-2.png[/img]

RE: request rate limit & max // connections questions

2010-10-29T05:40:37Z

[quote]Hello, Is there some kind of protection on the UCS server allowing the administrator to limit the request rate on the server ? This kind of mechanism will inform the client application that the rate is reached and the client will have to wait until the computed rate descreased. Same question regarding the max number of // connections on the UCM server ? Thanks Seb[/quote] No, UCS Manager uses an internal algorithm and will start throttle the responses. For the connections: For Shell interfaces (SSH, Telnet), it removes oldest session and accepts new session, when cache becomes full. For HTTP/XML API interface, it denies new connections.

RE: xml formatting issue

2010-10-29T05:30:02Z

Hello, Is there a reason why we get xml not well formed from UCS ? The "" is missing in the xml packet and makes strict xml parser complaining. Will it be fixed in the feature ? Thanks Seb I have filed an enhacement request for this.

RE: aaaLogin and encryption

2010-10-29T05:20:52Z

Yes but that¿s incomplete: - What should we do when the fullssl is defined in the login response ? What are the encryption algorithms (such as cipher, etc¿) ? Where the encryption keys are stored ? How to we handle hand-shaking during the encyption phase ? A sample would be very helpful. - What is the difference between plain et noencssl ? Thanks seb Values of outChannel and outEvtChannel are experimental and can be safely ignored. The idea with these fields was to provide SSL mode with encryption and SSL mode with no encryption (authentication only).

RE: The API is not always XML

2010-10-29T05:10:00Z

Hello, While testing the API, I tried to send a command that does not exist in the API just to see the result. And I was expecting to have an XML formatted answer: The request is : The answer is : XML PARSING ERROR: unknown managed object class test Obviously the answer is not well formed. Normal I guess ? Thanks Seb This is a bug, it has been filed, no comitted date from enginering yet.
