Generating AI Telemetry Information

To enable the server to generate telemetry information about AI, use these commands:

  • installadm set-server --telemetry-enable switches on the telemetry feature.

  • installadm set-server --telemetry-frequency integer specifies the frequency in seconds that telemetry data from the client is returned to the AI server for you to monitor. A zero (0) value means data is returned immediately. By default, this frequency is set to 120 seconds.

Note:

If the sstored service is offline, the server does not send telemetry data even if you run the installadm --enable-telemetry command.

For the two commands, you can use these options:

  • --telemetry-success specifies telemetry-related files the client feeds the AI server if the installation completes successfully.

  • --telemetry-failure specifies telemetry-related files the client feeds the AI server if the installation fails.

    For both options, specify one of the following values:

    • none – no files are returned.

    • intall_log – the /system/volatile/install_log is returned.

    • all_logs – in addition to the /system/volatile/install_log, other various SMF install logs that were created during installation are returned.

    • all_files – all the files that are listed in all_logs as well as the additional AI install files that are used to install the system are returned.

    • files – files specified by the system administrator are returned.

    • smf-fmri – the log file for the specified SMF service FMRI is returned.

For example, this command sets the server to generate all logs if failure occurs:

$ installadm set-server --telemetry-enable --telemetry-frequency 90 \
--telemetry-failure all_logs

Set the AI server for telemetry information before you start the installation. Transmission of telemetry information begins when the client is booted with the boot_archive file.
