Transient file prefix
for source
Type the transient file prefix for source files. This is a customer specific unique text prefix to
distinguish the incomplete files from final files.
Transfer file prefix
for destination
Type the transfer file prefix for destination files. This is a customer specific unique text
prefix to distinguish the incomplete files from final files.
If number of total files to be fetched from source directory is larger than this threshold
number then alarm "starLESSThreshPendingFiles" will be raised if SNMP feature is enabled.
Alarms will be raised even if the files to be pushed to destination directory is exceeding the
configured limit.
Clear alarm "starLESSThreshClearPendingFiles" will be raised when number of total files to
be fetched falls below this threshold. The threshold value, 0 indicates do not enable this
threshold. Maximum value for this threshold is 1000 files.
Half cooked file
detection threshold
Type the threshold value, in hours, to avoid the unnecessary half cooked files being stored
under chassis‟ base directory. If incomplete file older than this threshold is found, then L-
ESS removes the file. The value must be an integer from 1 through 24.
Type the port number used to create SFTP connection to remote host.
This value is used to decide number of times L-ESS can try to set up connection to remote
host in case of connection failure.
Connection Retry
Frequency
This is the time interval after which L-ESS should reconsider connecting to remote host in
case connection creation has failed earlier even after retrying configured number of times.
Use this parameter to set the socket timeout value. This socket timeout is set for a socket
connection that is opened for SFTP between L-ESS and configured host or remote
destination. This is like a normal socket timeout which means maximum time for which
socket can remain idle. The default value is 10 seconds.
Compressed/Decom
pressed required
This value indicates if compression or decompression is required at the destination end while
sending the files. Possible values are c and d.
If it is c, it means that every file received will be compressed before sending to destination,
unless it is already compressed. If the value is d, it means that every file received will be
decompressed before sending to destination unless it is already decompressed.
Specify the number of processes to be spawned for each source/destination.
Create hostname
directory
Type (y)es to create a directory with hostname while pushing the files to destination. To have
this feature enabled it is necessary that HostName parameter has some value for given source.
Select (L)ocal or (R)emote depending on the location of source.
Type the path for xDR base directory on chassis or on local source. This is the base directory
on chassis from which L-ESS will pull xDR files.
Hostname for
subdirectory
Type the host name of subdirectory created at source side. This configuration is applicable
only for local source. In case of remote source, remote host name is used to create directory.
Type the unique string that is used to identify the xDR files to be included or excluded based
on filter list. If the filter string is provided, L-ESS will pull/push files only with matching
filter string.
For example, the include filter list can be [MIP,OCS] and the exclude filter list can be
![ACR,NBR].
