Products

• Network Observability

Issue/Introduction

• UserDefined fields from underlying SAM do not propagate to PRES SAM.
• The Presentation SAM is not showing UDF from Aggregate SAM

Environment

Resolution

For user-defined fields to be passed from an Aggregation SAM to a Presentation layer SAM, configure the dxa configuration file & restart the Aggregate SAM. 

The following shows an example from a dxa-sam.conf configuration file which is configured to pass the fields UserDefined1 and UserDefined2 from the Aggregation SAM to a Presentation layer SAM:

# Subscribe to a Notification List
# NLName/n
#sub    ALL_NOTIFICATIONS/n
sub     Default/n

notification
attr    UserDefined1
attr    UserDefined2
 

Additional Information

When additional userdefined fields are added to dxa-configuration file of Aggregate SAM, make sure the same is added to dxa configuration file of Presentation SAM and restart the SAM service accordingly.
