Data collection model
The performance data and accounting data metrics are for the network
infrastructure and services that the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM LogToFile Technology
Pack manages.
DataStage parses the SOAP/XML files and JMS messages from the SAM server
and transfers the data to the UBAs as CSV files. DataStage produces one file per
UBA per period. These XML files contain records of inventory and metric data. The
inventory and metrics data are in the CSV format, with an initial integer identifier
that specifies a record type, and the subsequent fields contain the actual data of the
record.
The incoming CSV files are processed by a single input schema in the UBA. The
record types in the incoming CSV files are heterogeneous. For more information
about the file formats, see “Bulk input file formats” on page 7.
