mandatory

Configures mandatory AVC statistics reporting for a specified application group. When configured, the RF Domain manager reports usage stats for applications, in the specified group, to the NSight server. By default, only the top-ten applications by usage are reported to the NSight server. This option allows you to configure mandatory stats reporting for applications that are not in the top-ten list.

To enable mandatory statistics reporting for an application or set of applications, create an application group, add the desired application(s), and enable mandatory stats reporting for the group. Once enabled, the specified application(s) usage stats is always reported.

At any given time, only ten (10) applications can be reported to the NSight server. These are the top-ten applications, by usage, identified by the system. However, if mandatory application stats reporting is enabled, applications, within the specified application group, have to be included in the report. This is done by dropping some of the top-ten applications. For example, if mandatory application reporting is enabled for five (5) applications, the report will contain these 5 applications, plus first 5 of the top-ten applications identified by the system, totaling the number to ten.

Service Platforms — NX 75XX, NX 95XX, NX 96XX
