The Product Improvement (telemetry) package is part of the base OES 2018 SP3 package.
Before configuring the OES server with telemetry ensure the following:
The OES LDAP user has write permission on the container where the telemetry server resides.
Ensure sufficient space is available to store the data. The data is stored at /var/opt/novell/telemetry/data/.
The coreagent agent service must be running for communication between the server and agents.
Port 8000 must be opened on agents to communicate with the server.
When an OES server is configured for telemetry:
All the servers in the same context as this server are automatically enabled for telemetry.
The telemetry agent service runs on all the servers that are configured and enabled for telemetry.
The eDirectory schema is extended with oes-telemetry-info attribute.
The oes-telemetry-info attribute includes the server IP address of the server that was configured with telemetry.
The telemetry agent walks up the tree in search of oes-telemetry-info attribute. If this attribute is found then the agent continues to run else after trying three times it stops. The agent is restarted once every week to discover a telemetry server. It continues running if it finds a server, or it stops again.
