Configuring Diagnostic Signatures
The Diagnostic Signatures feature downloads digitally signed signatures to devices. Diagnostic Signatures
(DS) files are formatted files that collate knowledge of diagnostic events. DS files provide methods to
troubleshoot them without a need to upgrade the Cisco software. The aim of DS is to deliver flexible intelligence
that can detect and collect troubleshooting information. This information can be used to resolve known
problems in customer networks.
Prerequisites for Diagnostic Signatures
Before you download and configure diagnostic signatures (DSes) on a device, you must ensure that the
following conditions are met:
•
Ensure that you assign a diagnostic signature to the device. Refer to the
“
Diagnostic Signature
Downloading
”
section for more information about how to assign DSes to devices.
•
HTTP/Secure HTTP (HTTPS) transport is required for downloading DS files. Install the certification
authority (CA) certificate to enable the authentication of the destination HTTPS server.
If you configure the trustpool feature, the CA certificate is not required.
Note
Information About Diagnostic Signatures
Diagnostic Signature Overview
Diagnostic signatures (DS) for the Call Home system provides a flexible framework that allows the defining
of new events and corresponding CLIs that can analyze these events without upgrading the Cisco software.
DSs enable you to define more types of events and trigger types than the standard Call Home feature supports.
The DS subsystem downloads and processes files on a device and also handles callbacks for diagnostic
signature events.
The Diagnostic Signature feature downloads digitally signed signatures that are in the form of files to devices.
DS files are formatted files that collate the knowledge of diagnostic events and provide methods to troubleshoot
these events.
