Hi everyone,
To reduce the load on the dashboard GQI, we’re exploring ways to directly retrieve the DCF connectivity table using an ad hoc script. So far, the only method we've identified involves extracting the interfaces and connectivity tables for each element (shown here DataMiner DCF tables | DataMiner Docs) and merging them to replicate the results of the "get DCF connections" query.
Is there a more efficient approach to obtaining this data that would put less strain on the server?
Hi Sofia,
I am not sure if there is another way to retrieve DCF information. How the DCF connections are created? Are provisioned from an inventory, manually?
If the connections are provisioned from an inventory, a possible option is to use an element that contains all the info related to the connections (interfaces + connections). With this approach your adhoc data source can query directly this table instead of looping through all the elements in the cluster.
Another approach is to cache the results of your adhoc data source that will query DCF interfaces and connections. Here you could also use Data Aggregator to store the results of your query in a CSV file that can be used later in your dashboard/LCA.
Hope it helps.
