ppm backupdays
Syntax
/opt/CSCOppm-gw/bin/ppm backupdays [days]
Command Description
This command sets the number of days to save backup files on Prime Performance Manager server and client. The default value is one day, but you can configure Prime Performance Manager to save multiple days of backup files.
This command accepts values from 1 to 30 days. If you attempt to set a value outside of this range, Prime Performance Manager responds with this message:
Value out of range of 1-30.Prime Performance Manager stores backup files in the backup directory (see ppm backupdir). Prime Performance Manager uses this file naming convention when there are multiple backup files:
ppm releasenumber- [gateway|unit]-backup.tar.[date]
For example:
ppm10-Gateway-ems-lnx001-backup.tar [date]
ppm10-Unit-ems-lnx001-backup.tar [date]
If the number of backup days is more than one, and you run the /opt/CSCOppm-gw/bin/ppm restore command, Prime Performance Manager prompts you for a server or client backup file to restore from. This is because there would be more than one backup file to choose from). See ppm restore.
The following is an example of setting the number of backup days to five days:
#./ppm backupdaysCurrent value is: 1Enter number of days to save backup files <1-30>: [1] 5Setting number of days to save backup files to 5 days.In this example, Prime Performance Manager saves backup files for the last five days. Prime Performance Manager deletes backup files that are older than five days.

Command Description
Sets the maximum size for truncating and rolling log files.
•
•
If you enter this command without the number-of-lines argument, Prime Performance Manager displays the current maximum number of lines. You can change this value.
The message and network log process archives the log file when the maximum number of lines is reached. The filename format of archived log files is:

or
•
where:
•
•
•
•
•
•
When messageLog.txt or networkLog.txt reaches the number of lines specified by /opt/CSCOppm-gw/bin/ppm logsize command, Prime Performance Manager creates a new log archive file by using the filename format above.
When the maximum number of lines is reached, the log filename contains a counter value to differentiate itself from other archived files (for example, messageLog.2011:0328:1427:1.txt.Z and messageLog.2011:0328:1427:2.txt.Z).
The default value for number-of-lines is 500,000 lines.
The valid range is 1,000 lines to an unlimited number of lines. The default value is 500,000 lines. If you specify a larger file size for the log file, the log file and its copy require proportionally more disk space.
When changing the number of lines to display, remember that every 5,000 lines require approximately 1 MB of disk space. You need to balance your need to refer to old messages against the amount of disk space they occupy.
Note
You must log in as the root user to use this command. If you change the number-of-lines value, you must restart the server (/opt/CSCOppm-gw/bin/ppm restart).

ppm msglogage
Syntax
/opt/CSCOppm-gw/bin/ppm msglogage [number-of-days]
Command Description
Sets the maximum number of days to archive all types of log files before deleting them from Prime Performance Manager server.
If you enter this command without the number-of-days argument, Prime Performance Manager displays the current maximum number of days. You can then change that value or leave it. The valid range is one day to an unlimited number of days. The default value is 31 days.
The start date for aging out and deleting files is always yesterday at 12 AM. For example, say that you set the value to one day and you run the ppm msglogage command at 3 PM on January 10th.
To find files that will be deleted by the aging process, count back to 12 AM on January 10th, then add the number of days set in the command. In this example, we added one more day, so any file with an earlier timestamp than January 9th at 12 AM will be removed.
You must log in as the root user to use this command.
ppm msglogdir
Syntax
/opt/CSCOppm-gw/bin/ppm msglogdir [directory]

Note
After you change the directory, Prime Performance Manager asks if you want to restart Prime Performance Manager server. The new directory takes effect when you restart Prime Performance Manager server.

ppm purgedb
Command Description
Permanently deletes all components in Prime Performance Manager database marked for deletion.
Prime Performance Manager retains information about older objects in its database even after they have been deleted. This is considered a logically deleted state.
Prime Performance Manager retains this information to maintain any user customized data associated with an object (for instance, a customized name) in case the object is rediscovered in the future. Logically deleted data is physically deleted after seven days if it is not reused by then.
You can use the ppm purgedb command to immediately remove this logically deleted data from Prime Performance Manager database.
Unfortunately, this benefit may have a side effect. In certain cases, rediscovery of a deleted object may cause Prime Performance Manager to use obsolete information in the database, rather than the new information. Ultimately, some configuration changes are not detected, and the viewable data from the client application is incorrect.

ppm snmpmaxrows
Syntax
/opt/CSCOppm-gw/bin/ppm snmpmaxrows [number-of-rows]
Command Description
Sets the value of maximum rows for SNMP walk.
Prime Performance Manager collects network information from device MIBs using SNMP protocol. In certain ITP networks, some MIB tables can be very large (such as GTT tables, MTP3 accounting statistics tables, etc.)
The default value of 100,000 rows is usually sufficient even for large networks. However, for very large networks, if the limit needs to be increased, you can customize the this parameter. It is not recommended to exceed 300,000 rows.
If you enter this command without the number-of-rows argument, Prime Performance Manager displays the current maximum number of rows. You can then change that value or leave it. The valid range is 1 row to an unlimited number of rows. However, it is not recommended to set this number at less than 10,000. The default value is 100,000 rows.

ppm trapratelimit abate
Syntax
/opt/CSCOppm-gw/bin/ppm trapratelimit abate [offset]
Command Description
This option configures the trap abate offset.
By default, a node generating 2,000 or more traps (major limiting count) in the last 30 minutes (limiting interval) is considered to generate too many traps.
Prime Performance Manager raises a TrapRateStatus major alarm and stops trap processing for this node. If the node no longer experiences a trap storm in the next cycle (limiting interval), Prime Performance Manager will automatically reset the ProcessTrap flag and begin processing traps again.
The abate offset is the offset value from the trap major limit count. The abate threshold limit is the limiting count minus the offset value. By default, the offset value is 200.
For example, if a node generates 2,000 traps (major limiting count) minus 200 traps (the default offset value), which equals 1,800 or more traps, it is considered to be faulty and Prime Performance Manager stops trap processing for this node.
You must log in as the root user to use this command.

This option configures the trap major limiting count or the major threshold limit.
By default, a node generating 2,000 or more traps (major limiting count) in the last 30 minutes (limiting interval) is considered to generate too many traps.
Prime Performance Manager raises a TrapRateStatus major alarm and stops trap processing for this node. If the node no longer experiences a trap storm in the next cycle (limiting interval), Prime Performance Manager will automatically reset the ProcessTrap flag and begin processing traps again.
You must log in as the root user to use this command.
