Pushing Xdr Files Manually - Cisco ASR 5000 Series Installation And Administration Manual

▀ Configuring Push Functionality
 Changing transfer mode from „push‟ to „pull‟ - You should first disable „push‟ from chassis and then
 If push mode is selected, it is mandatory that you specify the L-ESS server URL to which the xDR files need to
be transferred to. This allows user to configure a primary and a secondary server. Whenever a file transfer to
the primary server fails for 4 times, the files will be transferred to the secondary server. The transfer will switch
back to the primary server under the following conditions.
 Transfer failures to secondary server for 4 times
 Time elapsed for 30 minutes from the time it switched from primary server
The server can be specified in the standard URL format similar to the following:
scheme://user:password@host
Currently, for push, only sftp scheme is supported. Configuring a secondary server is optional.
For example:
 Once the file transfer is completed, the file is removed from the disk if remove-file is configured through
the CLI. If not, the files are kept as is on the disk. Once the disk usage reaches a threshold limit, some of the
files transferred already are removed to make room for new CDR files. By default, a file is removed after its
successful transfer.

Pushing xDR Files Manually

To manually push xDR files to the configured L-ESS, in the Exec mode, enter the following command:
cdr-push { all | local-filename <file_name> }
Notes:
 Before you can use this command, in the EDR/UDR Configuration Mode, the CDR transfer mode and file
locations must be set to „push‟.
 <file_name> must be absolute path of the local file to push.
 If the file push is successful, the file name will have the prefix "tx." Also, the transferred files will be moved to
the /records/edr/TX directory. The prefix "prog." indicates the file transfer is in progress.
For the files that failed to transfer, "failed." is added as a prefix to the file name.

manually remove the host directory of the chassis‟ from the base directory path.
After removing the host directory, L-ESS configuration file should be altered to have entry of
corresponding chassis in pull hosts list.
Then, use the CLI command to enable „pull‟ on L-ESS. Any of the ongoing push activity will
continue till all the file transfers scheduled is completed. If there is no push activity at the time of this
configuration change, all the push related configuration is nullified immediately.
