SD-WAN Nokia-Nuage Networks Collector Installation Guide

1. SSH into the SevOne NMS or the system on which the collector/flow augmenter needs to be deployed.
2. If the installation is on an NMS appliance, and docker is not enabled and/or started, execute the following commands.

   $ systemctl enable docker
   
   $ systemctl start docker

3. If the installation is on a non-NMS appliance, ensure that docker is enabled and started.

1. Using ssh, login to NMS appliance as root.

   $ ssh root@<NMS appliance>

   Example

   $ ssh root@10.128.10.226

2. Download the following (latest) files from IBM Passport Advantage (https://www.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage/pao_download_software.html) via Passport Advantage Online. However, if you are on a legacy / flexible SevOne contract and do not have access to IBM Passport Advantage but have an active Support contract, please contact IBM SevOne Support for the latest files. You must place these files in /root directory of SevOne NMS appliance.

2. Make a directory.

   $ mkdir -p /opt/SevOne/upgrade/ansible/playbooks

3. Download the following (latest) files from IBM Passport Advantage (https://www.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage/pao_download_software.html) via Passport Advantage Online. However, if you are on a legacy / flexible SevOne contract and do not have access to IBM Passport Advantage but have an active Support contract, please contact IBM SevOne Support for the latest files. You must place these files in /root directory.
   1. sdwan-nuage-installation-v6.8.0-build.268036.tgz
   2. sdwan-nuage-installation-v6.8.0-build.268036.tgz.sha256.txt
   3. signature-tools-latest-version-build.<###>.tgz. For example, signature-tools-2.0.2-build.1.tgz
   4. signature-tools-latest-version-build.<###>.tgz.sha256.txt. For example, signature-tools-2.0.2-build.1.tgz.sha256.txt
4. Execute the following commands to verify the checksum of the code signing tool before extracting it.

   $ (cat $(ls -Art signature-tools-*.tgz.sha256.txt | \
   tail -n 1) | sha256sum --check)
   
   $ sudo tar xvfz $(ls -Art signature-tools-*.tgz | \
   tail -n 1) -C /

5. Extract the .tgz file.

   $ cp sdwan-nuage-installation-v6.8.0-build* /opt/SevOne/upgrade
   
   $ cd /opt/SevOne/upgrade && tar xvzf /opt/SevOne/upgrade/sdwan-nuage-installation*.tgz -C /opt/SevOne/upgrade/ansible/playbooks/

6. Change directory to /opt/SevOne/upgrade/ansible/playbooks/.

   $ cd /opt/SevOne/upgrade/ansible/playbooks/

7. Run the migration script to move the existing configuration from the main.yml file to the tenant configuration file.
   Important: You must perform this step when upgrading from SD-WAN <=6.5 to SD-WAN 6.8.

   $ ./migrate_config -src /root/<Previous Installation Folder Name>/nuage/defaults/main.yml -dest /opt/nuage_ansible/config/<tenant name.yaml>

   Example

   $ ./migrate_config -src /root/sdwan-nuage-installation-6.6.0/nuage/defaults/main.yml -dest /opt/nuage_ansible/config/enterprise_sevone_config.yaml

   Important: It is important to have a single .yaml file in /opt/nuage_ansible/config directory. If multiple files are present, the installer will interpret it as a multi-tenant deployment. In such cases, it is recommended to use the CLI method for upgrading the collector.
8. Install the GUI.

The Object Mapping page enables you to map the indicators on the objects that plugins poll to a flow interface. This enables you to display a FlowFalcon report of the flow data that is related to the poll data from an indicator that appears in an Instant Graph.

Users can generate FlowFalcon report for Object Group on the basis of Object mapping. As of SDWAN Nokia-Nuage 2.13 release, the solution will create Object mappings by default for SD-WAN Interface Objects. For any other objects, users will have to manually add the Object mappings. Steps required to manually add an object mapping can be found in SevOne NMS System Administration Guide > section Map Flow Objects.

Important: The device interface object indicator should be mapped to the appropriate direction Incoming/Outgoing.

Mapping a device interface object

After adding the object mapping, the user is now able to quick chain the performance metrics report to the FlowFalcon report for the indicator. Follow the steps below to see the flows report for the mapped object and the indicator.

• Navigate to Reports > Create Report. Select Performance Metrics.
• Select appropriate Resources the same as the mapped object and the indicator.
• Create the Performace Metrics report by clicking on Finish. A Performance Metrics report will be generated.
• Click on the Setting icon on the top-right corner of the report. Select Chain > Quick Chain.

The total number of aggregated flow views present in SevOne NMS must be less than 10. If the aggregated flow views are greater than 10, then delete the unwanted flow views and trigger the deployment script again.

By default, the Nuage collector creates log rotation rules in /etc/logrotate.d/nuage-collector for the files stored in the log directory /var/log/sdwan-nuage/<tenant_name>/.

Nuage Collector log rotate rules created in /etc/logrotate.d/nuage-collector

/var/log/sdwan-nuage/*.log {
    daily
    size 100M
    missingok
    rotate 5
    compress
    delaycompress
    notifempty
    dateext
    dateformat %s
}

Sometimes, by the time Nuage Flow View creation happens, fields are still in the process of being inserted in the database. Due to this, the new fields do not end up in the Nuage Flow View. In such cases, delete the partially created view SDWAN:Nuage:AugmentedFlow from the User Interface. SSH to your NMS and execute the following command from the installation directory.

Example

$ ssh root@<NMS appliance>
 
$ cd sdwan-nuage-installation
 
$ php nuage/templates/flow_view_creator_nuage.php.j2

To stop the collector, manually remove the cronjobs.

$ rm /etc/cron.d/nuage_<tenant_name>
 
$ rm /etc/cron.d/nuage_<tenant_name>_flow_collector
