delegate-probes

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Generate real-time performance monitoring (RPM) probes on an MS-MPC or MS-MIC card, which increases the number of RPM probes that can run at the same time.

To use the delegate-probes statement, you must first configure the destination-interface statement at the [edit services rpm probe owner test test-name] hierarchy level to point to a valid logical unit number of a multiservices interface. Then configure the same unit and multiservice interface with the rpm client-delegate-probes statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number] hierarchy level.

The probe-type type at the [edit services rpm probe owner test test-name] hierarchy level can be icmp-ping or icmp-ping-timestamp starting in Junos OS Release 17.3R1, and icmp6-ping starting in Junos OS Release 18.1R1.

To avoid packet bursts in the network due to RPM, probes will be distributed in a better way.

The chances of multiple tests starting and ending at the same time are smaller. This way RPM syslog bursts and a potential performance bottleneck in event-processing are avoided.. This does not exclude potential syslog drops on the RE if more than 12000 RPM tests are running simultaneously. For scaled configurations (with more than 12000 RPM tests) we recommend you to configure syslogs to sent to an external hosts for offloaded processing.
