NAME
global-settings - set up global analytics parameters.

MODULE
analytics global-settings

SYNTAX
List or set up parameters related to analytics data publishing using the syntax shown in the following
sections.

LIST GLOBAL SETTINGS
list analytics global-settings [ all-properties | non-default-properties | one-line | recursive ]

GLOBAL PUBLISHING SETTINGS
modify avrd-interval [ value ]
modify avrd-debug-mode [ disabled | enabled ]
modify disable-all-internal-logging [ disabled | enabled ]

HSL PUBLISHER
modify external-logging-publisher [ publisher name | none ]

OFFBOX SETTINGS
modify offbox-protocol [ ecm-tm | hsl | none | tcp ]
modify offbox-tcp-addresses
[ add | delete | none | replace-all-with ] { list of IP addresses... }
modify offbox-tcp-port [ value ]
modify use-offbox [ disabled | enabled ]

DESCRIPTION
Use the analytics global-settings command to list or modify the following global analytics settings:

· avrd-interval - analytics data collection interval in seconds. If this interval is different from the
default value (300 seconds), internal statistics are not collected unless avrd-debug-mode is set to
enabled. Minimal interval is 20 seconds, maximum interval is 300 seconds.

· avrd-debug-mode - enable or disable debug mode. If debug mode is disabled (by default), internal
statistics are collected only if avrd-interval is set to the default value (300 seconds).

· disable-all-internal-logging - when it is enabled, internal statistics are never collected, regardless of
avrd-interval and avrd-debug-mode settings.

· external-logging-publisher - choose which logging publisher will be used for the external HSL protocol.
Relevant when offbox-protocol is set to 'hsl'.

· offbox-protocol - protocol for communication with offbox analytics application. The protocol can be
defined as one of the following four options: 'hsl' - (High Speed Logging)a protocol based on UDP or TCP;
'tcp' - the proprietary TCP-based protocol; 'ecm-tm' - a protocol based on Google RPC (grpc); and 'none'.
Note: 'ecm-tm' is the recommended option. Note: If 'none' is chosen, the analytics module does not try to
connect to the offbox analytics application.

· offbox-tcp-addresses - server IP addresses used only if the 'tcp' protocol is chosen. Multiple IP
addresses are supported. If more than one IP address is configured, the analytics module first tries to
connect to the first IP address in the list. If the connection can't be established, it tries the next IP
address, and so on.

· offbox-tcp-port - server TCP port for the server IP addresses used only if 'tcp' protocol is chosen. If
multiple tcp addresses are configured they all use the same port.

· use-offbox - enables and disables all communication with the offbox application on global level.

EXAMPLES
Display all current analytics global settings:

list analytics global-settings all-properties

Enable the analytics module to communicate with an offbox application using the 'tcp' protocol. In this
example, the offbox application IP addresses are 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2, TCP port is - 3344 :

modify analytics global-settings offbox-tcp-addresses
add { 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 }
modify analytics global-settings offbox-tcp-port 3344
modify analytics global-settings offbox-protocol tcp
modify analytics global-settings use-offbox enabled

Create an analytics report every 20 seconds. Note: Since it has a big performance impact, this should be
configured for debugging purposes only.

modify analytics global-setting avrd-debug-mode enabled
modify analytics global-setting avrd-interval 20
