Issue/Introduction

Needs to change in metric name from Historical Interface Speed (bps) to Physical Interface Speed

Environment

Release : 22.2

Resolution

See Create or Extend Metric Families Guide

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/it-operations-management/dx-netops/22-2/Performance-Monitoring-with-DX-Performance-Management/building/self-certification/create-or-extend-metric-families.html

 

Example using Rest Client

Method tab select PUT
In the Body settings, select application/properties as the Body Content-type
Example:

 

Use the URL http://da_hostname:8581/typecatalog/metricfamilies/extension/mf_name

 

To find the mf_name goto DA Server and run:

[root@da certifications]# fgrep -R "Historical Interface Speed (bps)" *
CA_22.2.3.581/metric_families/im.ca.com-metricfamilies-NormalizedAggregatedPortInfo.xml:        <Documentation>Historical Interface Speed (bps)</Documentation>
CA_22.2.3.581/metric_families/im.ca.com-metricfamilies-NormalizedPortInfo.xml:        <Documentation>Historical Interface Speed (bps)</Documentation>
CA_22.2.3.581/metric_families/im.ca.com-metricfamilies-NormalizedVPNInterfaceInfo.xml:        <Documentation>Historical Interface Speed (bps)</Documentation>
[root@da certifications]#

 

SO you need to change:

      <Attribute name="HistoricalInterfaceSpeed" type="Double">
        <Documentation>Historical Interface Speed (bps)</Documentation>

 

So in Rest Client Body you need to inform:
im.ca.com.normalizer.<metricfamilyname>.attribute.<attributename>.attributedisplayname=AttributeDisplayName
 
im.ca.com.normalizer.normalizedaggregatedportinfo.attribute.historicalinterfacespeed.attributedisplayname=Physical Interface Speed

im.ca.com.normalizer.normalizedaggregatedportinfo.attribute.historicalinterfacespeed.documentation=Old Historical Interface Speed (bps)

 

Do the same for:

So in Rest Client you need to inform:
http://<DA>:8581/typecatalog/metricfamilies/extension/NormalizedPortInfo

Rest Client Body
im.ca.com.normalizer.normalizedportinfo.attribute.historicalinterfacespeed.attributedisplayname=Physical Interface Speed

im.ca.com.normalizer.normalizedportinfo.attribute.historicalinterfacespeed.documentation=Old Historical Interface Speed (bps)

 

http://<DA>:8581/typecatalog/metricfamilies/extension/NormalizedVPNInterfaceInfo

Rest Client Body

im.ca.com.normalizer.normalizedvpninterfaceinfo.attribute.historicalinterfacespeed.attributedisplayname=Physical Interface Speed

im.ca.com.normalizer.normalizedvpninterfaceinfo.attribute.historicalinterfacespeed.documentation=Old Historical Interface Speed (bps)
