xDR File Push Functionality

Configuring Push Functionality

Before configuring the push functionality, you must make sure that the SSH Daemon (sshd) config on the external
server is ready to receive the files.
Important:
receiving the files from one or more chassis.
Make sure the following configuration changes are done in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file on the L-ESS server.
 PasswordAuthentication yes
 UsePAM no
Any changes to the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file needs sshd to re-read the config file. For this to happen, get the pid of the
sshd process and execute this command: kill -1 <pid of the sshd>
Now, the sshd on the L-ESS is ready to receive the files from chassis using push mode. The push functionality can be
configured on chassis.
To configure the push functionality, use the following command:
configure
context
edr-module active-charging-service
cdr { transfer-mode [ pull | push { primary { encrypted-url | url }
<value> [ { encrypted-secondary-url | secondary-url } ] ] | push-interval
<push_interval> | remove-file-after-transfer | use-harddisk }
Notes:
 If pull mode is selected, the L-ESS server pulls the xDR files from chassis. If push mode is selected, an
application process on the chassis will be responsible for pushing the xDR files as and when needed. By
default, the transfer mode is set to pull.
 Please note the following points before switching between transfer modes:
 The chassis should first remove all temporary files and directories that are created while pushing files to
 Changing transfer mode from „pull‟ to „push‟ - You should first remove the entry of chassis‟ host from
OL-22979-03
Make sure that SSH Daemon is running on L-ESS server and has appropriate configuration for
<context_name>
end
Important:
The change in the file transfer mode does not require any reboot of the chassis
and L-ESS.
