Introduction

While migrating to Telemetry2.0 from  DCA telemetry, the traditional log grepping is targetted to reduce as much as possible by instrumenting the  markers coming from RDKB components.To achieve this, RDKB components are supposed make required changes with the use of APIs from Telemetry 2.0 shared library.

RDKB Telemetry Components

1. Xconf Server
2. RPI with rdkb image

Environment Setup

2.1.  Build procedure

Follow the wiki page to make yocto's RDK-B image from yocto workspace in your PC.

RDK-B R-Pi Yocto 3.1 - Dunfell

Note: Proceed the build procedure in Ubuntu18 version VM

2.2.  Pre- requisites for enabling Telemetry2_0

1. dmcli eRT setv Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_RFC.Feature.Telemetry.Enable bool true
2. dmcli eRT setv Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_RFC.Feature.Telemetry.Version string 2
3. dmcli eRT setv Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_RFC.Feature.Telemetry.ConfigURL string https://xconf.rdkcentral.com:9092/loguploader/getT2Settings
4. touch /nvram/enable_t2_debug
5. reboot the device
6. pidof "telemetry2_0"

After board boot up, disable log rotation by using the command: 

$ systemctl disable rdkbLogMonitor

 Xconf server

• Xconf server page :  https://xconf.rdkcentral.com:9093/admin/ux/
