Configuring AA volume accounting and statistics

A network operator can configure AA volume statistic collection and accounting on both AA ISA system and subscriber levels.

The following commands illustrate the configuration of statistics collection and accounting policy on an AA group/partition aggregate level (without subscriber context).

CLI syntax:

config>app-assure>group>statistics>app-group
    accounting-policy act-policy-id
    collect-stats

CLI syntax:

config>app-assure>group>statistics>application
    accounting-policy act-policy-id
    collect-stats

CLI syntax:

config>app-assure>group>statistics>protocol
    accounting-policy act-policy-id
    collect-stats

The following commands illustrate the configuration of statistics collection and accounting policy for each AA subscriber in the system:

config>app-assure>group>statistics>aa-sub
    accounting-policy acct-policy-id
    aggregate-stats
    app-group app-group-name export-using export-method [export-method]
    application application-name export-using export-method [export-method]
    charging-group charging-group-name export-using export-method [export-method]
    collect-stats
    exclude-tcp-retrans
    max-throughput-stats
    protocol protocol-name export-using export-method
    radius-accounting-policy rad-acct-plcy-name

The following commands illustrate configuration of special study mode for a subset of AA subscribers (configured) to collect all protocol or application statistics with an AA subscriber context:

config>app-assure>group>statistics# aa-sub-study {application | protocol}
    accounting-policy acct-policy-id
    collect-stats

For details on accounting policy configuration (including among others AA record type selection and customized AA subscriber record configuration), see the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR System Management Guide.

The following output illustrates per AA-subscriber statistics configuration that elects statistic collection for a small subset of all application groups, applications, protocols:
