Configure the SAM accounting and polling statistics
Accounting policies are relevant to the Access Interfaces and the metrics that they
report. The type of accounting policy on an Access Interface determines the metrics
that are reported.
When inventory is collected, Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager learns the
accounting policy for each Access Interface. From these accounting policies, the
Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM LogToFile Technology Pack can determine the accounting
policy type.
The Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM defines and manages accounting policies, which
determine how SAM accounting statistics are collected. The Alcatel-Lucent 5620
SAM LogToFile Technology Pack currently supports two types of SAM accounting
statistic: access-port statistics and network-port statistics. The accounting package
provides a maximum of 13 active accounting policies, one for each type of record
for the eight access-port statistics types and for the five network-port statistics
types.
The SAM server administrator uses the Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM Client GUI to
configure SAM accounting statistics on the primary and redundant SAM servers.
The Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM LogToFile Technology Pack supports the accounting
policies that are listed in the Table, depending on the type of nodes that are
monitored.
