You can configure the keep-alive parameters to send the SNMP keep-alive trap messages at regular intervals from the Usage Metering Collector.
When the keep-alive parameters are enabled, Usage Metering Collector sends UM Alert 990: Test Alert, which is a keep-alive trap message, to the SNMP trap receiver configured in the SNMP Trap Send Address field in the Usage Metering Collector.
The keep-alive trap messages are generated for the SNMP version, that is, v2 or v3, configured in the Usage Metering Collector. For more information, see Configuring alerts.
Usage Metering Collector sends the keep-alive trap messages to the SNMP trap receiver as per the configured interval and also every time the Usage Metering Collector starts.
You can use the keep-alive trap messages to monitor the status of the Usage Metering Collector at regular intervals.
By default, the keep-alive trap messages are disabled.
For information about the configurable keep-alive parameters and their associated values, see Usage Metering keep-alive parameters.
Before you begin
  • Ensure that an SNMP trap receiver is configured in the SNMP Trap Send Address field in the Usage Metering Collector.
  • Back up the um.properties file before performing this procedure. In case the um.properties file becomes corrupted, you can replace the corrupted file with the backup file.
  1. At the Usage Metering Collector server CLI command prompt, run the following command to edit the um.properties file:
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    vi /opt/Avaya/usage-metering/um.properties
  2. Add the keep-alive parameters in the following format to the um.properties file:
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    <keep-alive parameter name>=<value>
    Add each parameter on a separate line.
To enable the keep-alive trap messages, add the keep.alive.snmp.enabled parameter in the following format to the um.properties file:
keep.alive.snmp.enabled=true
Next steps
Restart the Usage Metering Collector to apply the keep-alive parameter configuration.
