TV2 Norway Sumo Monitoring

This connector is a manager connector that retrieves a list of assets and then configures an analyzer device to monitor the assets.

About

This connector is used by TV2 Norway to manage the analysis of OTT services. It retrieves a list of assets from the SUMO platform, and determines for each of them whether it has to be analyzed.

If an asset has to be analyzed, a command will be sent to the Agama analyzer element to configure the monitoring.

Installation and configuration

Creation

The TV2 Norway Sumo Monotoring protocol is an HTTP connector. The hostname of the SUMO service has to be configured during creation of the element.

HTTP CONNECTION:

  • Type of port: TCP/IP.
  • IP address: The hostname of the device (e.g. sumo.tv2.no).
  • IP Port: The IP port of the device (default: 443 for HTTPS).

Configuration

On the Configuration page, the element must be further configured:

  • Platform Code: The value of this parameter will be filled in on the URL to request the asset details. ("<platform>" placeholder)
  • Webservice username and password: The credentials to log on to the SUMO server. Header based authentication is used.
  • Asset details url: Play URL to request the asset details. The following placeholders can be used and are automatically filled in : <platform>, <serverId>, <assetId>.
  • User-Agent Header: User agent to use in the HTTP requests.
  • Vman Server ID: The server ID that is used in the URL to request the asset details. ("<serverId>" placeholder)
  • Vman Server Base URI: This is the base URI to use when configuring tests on the analyzer. This replaces "<server>" in the manifest URLs.
  • Agama Element ID: DMA/Element ID of the DataMiner element for the Agama analyzer device.
  • Agama Test Template Name: The name of a configured test template on the Agama device. Be sure that this name is identical to that on the Agama device.
  • Asset Sources Table: Use the shortcut menu of this table to specify the source where you can retrieve the list of assets. The correct type (live or 24hrs) should also be selected.
