■ when major or critical alarms occur
When you configure periodic transmission of data, the Oracle Fabric Interconnect
starts a timer when any of the following events occurs:
■ the Xsigo ProWatch facility is enabled
■ XgOS starts because of a chassis reboot
■ the daily, weekly, or monthly interval is changed.
The frequency is calculated from that time at which the timer starts. The result is the
next scheduled transmission of data. For example, if the Xsigo ProWatch feature is
enabled at 6:00 p.m. on a Tuesday, and the frequency is set to “weekly”, Xsigo
ProWatch data is transmitted at 6:00 p.m. on the following Tuesday and every
Tuesday thereafter.
Note – Xsigo ProWatch does not transmit a baseline the first time it enabled.
However, if you want to transmit data soon after Xsigo ProWatch is initially
configured, you can initiate an on-demand transmission.
ProWatch also has a snooze feature, which allows you to leave the original ProWatch
configuration intact, but temporarily delay the transmission of phone home
messages on an as-needed basis. When the snooze interval completes, the original
phone home schedule resumes as normal.
HTTP Proxy Support
Xsigo ProWatch data is transmitted through HTTP (not HTTPS). The Xsigo ProWatch
facility supports HTTP proxy servers through software commands that configure:
■ proxy host name or IP address
■ an optional proxy port, which can be appended to the proxy host name or IP
address.
■ an optional proxy user name
■ an optional proxy password, which is clear text.
