The SUT Query option can be used in one of two modes: as part of a nodal test case, or with the standalone SUT Query test case. Both modes allow you to monitor the SUT CPU utilization, send periodic queries to the SUT, perform a Network Test and execute a SUT Query with Measurements. When you use SUT Query within a nodal test case, you can also adjust the test rates based on a CPU utilization threshold.
These instructions assume that you are working with a saved test session, and only provide information on defining this option.
|
TIP: Start with a test session that you have successfully executed to ensure that there are no connectivity problems. |
Open the test session.
Either edit the nodal test case that will run the query or add a SUT Query test case to the test session.
If you are using a SUT Query test case, select the target SUT from the System Under Test drop-down list on the General tab.
If you are using a nodal test case, check the Query box in the System Under Test pane on the General tab.
Enter the command-line prompt that your SUT presents in a telnet session in the Target SUT Prompt... field.
Define the type of query that will be performed, the command sent, and the query interval.
If you want to send a repeating query to either the SUT or the test server, select the Periodic Query radio button. Select the Target Platform and define the Command and the Period interval for the query with the Periodic Query fields...
The SUT's replies to the periodic query is captured in the Test Log.
If you want to monitor the SUT CPU, select the Query CPU Utilization radio button. Define the CPU usage command, the information required to parse the response from the SUT, and the interval for the query with the Query CPU Utilization fields...
The results of the utilization queries are reported on the Test Summary tab.
If you want to monitor the traceRouteToSUT or traceRoute Commands, select the Network Test radio button. Define the Arguments if Traceroute Command is selected or Max TTL, WaitTime and NQueries if tracerouteToSUT Command is selected for the query with the Network Test fields...
Execute a SUT Query with the Measurements Test fields.. to retrieve and format L1 Statistics from remote SUT. The SUT Query Test Case will allow a Script to be included as a TDF to parse vendor console or log file output as appropriate to send as measurements.This generic solution will be used to create a Test Session that meets the requirements for the L1 statistics and saved as a Template in the ORAN Test Session Library for use by ORAN testing.
