Hi guys, has anyone used the smartpulse broadpeak to collect the KPIs, would there be a protocol?
Hi Rubens,
I did a while ago.
But I would suggest talking to Broadpeak if you can run API queries against the BkA200 (uses OpenSearch if I remember correctly and collects the same KPIs).
If you decide to go with Smartpulse you would need one of the following concepts:
- protocol of type smart serial to provide an endpoint for the http posts of Vector directly
- provide an endpoint via custom api (Dataminer Automation script) and then parse the Content to an element
- provide an API endpoint via IIS or other webservers and store the data on a disk temporary to process it regularly
You should talk to Skyline about which option is better.
Broadpeak delivers massive amounts of data with SmartPulse via Datadog Vector http sink and redelivers this data when there have been network interruptions, for example.
You need to process a lot of history sets too.
I tried the last option and had to take a lot of precautions in the protocol to avoid overloading/crashing the DataMiner at such a moment.
Best regards,
Felix
