Issue/Introduction

While troubleshooting a DC issue, I found out that there are a lot of ".im.aggregator.discover" filter error messages in the $DA_HOME/apache-karaf/data/log/karaf.log file. The repeat often.

Not sure information around what cause these errors. These show up almost every minute.

Environment

All supported DX NetOps Performance Management releases

Pending validation for release this was introduced in. May have first shown up in 22.2.5+ releases.

Cause

There are two issues working together to cause this problem.

First the Metric Family XML has incorrectly defined values for Enumeration entries. This affects the following Metric Families.

• Alternate Interface
  • Internal name: NormalizedAlternatePortInfo
• Integrated Adaptive Rate DSL
  • Internal name NormalizedIntegratedAdaptiveRateDSLInfo

Example of incorrect XML is the following:

•  <Enumeration>1</Enumeration>

It should have text to define the value. This is a correct XML Enumeration entry example.

• <Enumeration>up(1)</Enumeration>

In addition to the XML configuration issue, the code that reads and works with the Enumeration values isn't properly handling the XML code when it should.

Resolution

Being addressed with engineering via defect ID DE576887.

Will be resolved by code change expected in the pending 23.3.2 release.
